Description

With a sweet filling flavored by thickened, condensed milk and maple syrup, these Mini Phyllo Shell desserts become even more tempting when topped with whipped cream and toasted pecans.


Ingredients
  • 1 (14 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • For Topping:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 packages (15 count each) Athens Phyllo Shells
  • 3 tablespoons pecans, chopped, toasted

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, syrup and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring until it begins to boil. Lower the heat and continue to cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally so it does not burn. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

When cooled, spoon or pipe 1 tablespoon filling into each shell.

In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until peaks are formed.
Pipe the whipped cream on top of each shell.

Garnish with toasted pecans.

Tips

TIPS:
For added crispness, preheat oven to 350⁰F. Place empty shells on a baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes. Cool and fill

To toast pecans, toss with a little canola oil and salt. Bake at 350⁰ F for about 5 minutes.

In place of whipped cream topping, use a prepared whipped topping.

Make a garnish of maple reduction syrup by simmering maple syrup on the stove until it reduces and thickens.
