Easy Caramelized Banana Phyllo Cups with Cream Cheese Filling
Christianna | Siftnwhisk
These flaky bite sized phyllo cups only take 20 minutes to make. They are filled with a velvety cream cheese filling and are topped with caramelized bananas and chocolate flakes. A great, no-bake dessert idea for family and friends!
Place phyllo cups in a cutting board and allow them to come to room temperature.
Bake at 375F for about 5 minutes until they get golden brown.
Allow phyllo cups to cool down before filling.
Caramelized Bananas
Slice a large banana in 15 pieces. Set aside.
In a small bowl add the granulated sugar.
Roll the banana slices into the sugar making sure all sides are coated.
In a small frying pan add one teaspoon of coconut oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Fry the banana slices until golden brown for about 4 minutes.
Turn down the heat to medium and flip the banana slices. They will get brown in about 1 minute.
Remove the caramelized bananas and set aside to cool down.
Cream Cheese Filling
In a medium bowl cream together with a hand mixer, the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Transfer the cream cheese filling in a piping bag and set aside.
Assemble the Phyllo Cups
Fill the phyllo cups with the cream cheese filling.
Top each phyllo cup with a caramelized banana slice.
Add some chocolate flakes on top and serve!
Notes
I used the Mini Fillo Shells from the Fillo Factory. Each pack contains 15 pre-baked phyllo cups. For a crispier texture I suggest baking at 375F before use.
Use tongs or a plastic spatula to help you flip the bananas.
Soak the frying pan in hot water for easier cleaning.
Caramelized banana phyllo cups are best consumed on the same day but they can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 1 day.
