Recipe Introduction


(makes 12 tarts)


List of Ingredients




Crust:
6 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed
1/4 cup butter, melted

Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 envelope gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream, whipped
12 oz raspberries, fresh or frozen

Recipe



Crust:
Grease 12 muffin tin cups. Lay 2 phyllo sheets on large cutting board and brush with melted butter. With sharp knife, cut sheet into 6 even rectangles. Fit double phyllo rectangles into 6 muffin cups, pressing gently into bottom. Lay a single phyllo sheet on cutting board and brush with melted butter. Cut into 6 rectangles. Place single rectangles into same 6 muffin cups turning so rectangle corners stick out in different directions and cup is 3 phyllo layers thick. Repeat with remaining 6 muffin cups. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven 10 minutes or until golden. Cool 10 minutes in muffin tin. Remove and cool completely.

Filling:
Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until smooth. Blend in maple syrup. In small pan, pour gelatin over cold water. Let stand 5 minutes. Heat gelatin over low heat, stirring until dissolved. Add hot gelatin into cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped whipping cream. Chill mixture about 15 minutes. Stir. Pour about 1/4 cup filling into cooled phyllo tarts. Let stand 2 hours to set.

Just before serving, portion raspberries over tarts. Serve tarts same day since phyllo pastry loses its crispness quickly.
