Ingredients
 
 

  • 15 Phyllo Cups room temperature & baked

Caramelized Banana

  • 1 Large Banana cut in slices
  • 2-3 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Toppings

  • Chocolate Flakes

Instructions
 

  • 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.
