Things Sicilian Phyllo Dessert "Purses" These are like mini cheesecakes with jam, wrapped in phyllo dough.
Preheat oven to 375. In a mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the egg, sugar and orange zest and beat until smooth. Spread thawed phyllo on a work surface and cover with a damp towel to keep from drying out. Lay one sheet to the side and brush it with melted butter, then cover it with a second sheet. Dab tablespoons of filling over the sheet with about two inches space between placements. Dab a teaspoon of marmalade over the cream cheese filling. Cut into squares around filling with a pizza cutter. Gather the sides of each square together and draw up over the filling, pinching them together in the middle. Use damp hands to make the dough pinch together well. Ruffle the top of each purse to separate the pastry, and then brush a little butter on each one. Bake on a greased baking sheet or one lined with baking parchment for about 8-10 minutes or until golden. Repeat until all dough is used. Variation: Add lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon juice to the cream cheese filling; omit the orange zest. Use Fig or Blackberry jam instead. OR Keep the orange zest, but use Cherry or Strawberry jam instead of the Red Orange Marmalade. |
