The perfect summer dessert - velvety berry sherbet in crispy filo cups
Author: Marilena Leavitt
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb. frozen berries (a mix of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- ½ package country style (or regular) filo dough at room temperature
- --- melted butter
- --- fresh berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- For the sherbet
- Place the frozen berries in the bowl of a food processor. Add the condensed milk and the lemon zest and process until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a chilled metal bowl, or loaf pan, spread it evenly, and place in the freezer. Freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours.
- When ready to serve, remove the sherbet from the freezer. Let it stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
- For the filo cups
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the package of filo from the refrigerator.
- Lay one sheet of filo dough on the counter. Brush it with some melted butter. Top with a second sheet of filo dough, brush with some butter again and repeat the same process with a third sheet. Cut the filo stack into 9 squares. Roll up the remaining filo, cover and return to the refrigerator.
- Prepare the muffin cups by brushing them with some melted butter.
- Line 9 muffin tins with the filo squares, pressing them gently into place. Poke the bottoms of the filo with a fork to allow the steam to escape.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow them to cool (this can be made early in the day)
- To serve, scoop the softened sherbet into the prepared filo cups to fill, garnish with fresh berries and enjoy!
Notes
1. This makes 9 filo cups, but the sherbet will be plenty for more. You can continue with more filo to make more filo cups.
2. For this recipe I used country style filo that is slightly thicker. The recipe works well with regular filo too. If you use regular filo, use four pieces of filo instead of three.
3. A light dusting with powdered sugar on the filo just before serving, makes this dessert even more visually appealing!
