Chocolate Cranberry Phyllo Cups
Description
This recipe uses pre-made phyllo cups that are dipped in melted dark chocolate mixed with coconut oil to create a thin, crisp chocolate lining inside the shells. After setting, the cups are filled with a mixture of dried cranberries and chopped nuts, adding texture and a balance of sweet, tart, and nutty flavors.
The topping of honey and drizzled white chocolate adds layers of sweetness and a creamy contrast to the dark chocolate shell. The coconut oil helps create a smooth melt and sets the chocolate with a pleasant sheen. The final result is an elegant and crunchy treat with a mix of natural sweetness and nutty bites from the filling.
The preparation is straightforward, allowing the cups to be decorated ahead and assembled just before serving to maintain their crispness. Variations can include toasting nuts with brown sugar and butter to add depth and a citrus zest topping for a fresh aromatic note.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ tsp coconut oil
- 15 phyllo cups found near the frozen dough
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup pistachio chopped
- ⅓ cup pecans chopped
- 3-4 TBSP honey plus extra to taste
- 2-3 oz white chocolate
- 1/4-1/2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Place your dar chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe ramekin.
- Melt via microwave by adjusting the power to 50% and heating at 30 second intervals, stirring in between each. It only took two 30 second cycles to melt mine but may vary depending on chocolate type and oven wattage. You can also melt chocolate stove-top using the double broiler method.
- Dip a phyllo cup face-down in the chocolate until the edges are coated, almost like you're rimming a margarita glass with salt. My dish was shallow enough for me to drop the entire phyllo cup into the bowl then I simply inserted a toothpick into the middle of the phyllo cup to remove it and placed it chocolate side up on a plate. It sounds weird when typed out but the execution itself was super easy and took no time at all.
- Once each cup is dipped in delicious chocolate, allow them to cool/dry on the countertop or pop them in the fridge to chill.
- Once your chocolate has set, fill each phyllo cup to the brim with cranberries, pistachios and pecans.
- Pour a little honey into each cup, add a little - or a lot! No need to worry about measurements.
- Next melt your white chocolate and coconut using the same method as the chocolate above.
- Stir chocolate with a fork then drizzle over each phyllo cup.
- Allow chocolate to cool and dig in!
Notes
- To enhance flavor, toast pistachios and pecans in a skillet with brown sugar and butter before mixing.
- The phyllo cups can be dipped in chocolate and stored in an airtight container overnight before assembly.
- Assemble cups with nuts, cranberries, honey, and white chocolate drizzle shortly before serving to maintain crisp texture.
- Add freshly grated orange zest over the white chocolate drizzle for a bright citrus note if desired.
