Name: Chocolate-Coconut Filo Triangles With Vanilla Ice Cream |

Cook Time: 12 minutes |
Prep Time: 15 minutes |
Total Time: 27 minutes |
Servings: 6 |
Ingredients:
- 4 cups sweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup butter, plus extra for brushing
- 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dark chocolate
- 6 sheets phyllo pastry
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chocolate-Coconut Filling:
- In a food processor, finely chop the dark chocolate.
- Add in the sweetened coconut and finely chopped almonds.
- Toss in 1/4 cup of butter.
- Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
2. Assemble the Filo Triangles:
- Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan or microwave, and set it aside.
- Working with one sheet of phyllo pastry at a time, lay it flat on a clean work surface with the short side facing you.
- Cover the remaining phyllo sheets with a slightly damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Lightly brush the phyllo sheet with some of the melted butter.
3. Fold and Fill:
- Fold the top right-hand corner of the phyllo sheet down towards the bottom left corner, creating a triangle shape.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate-coconut filling into the center of the triangle.
- Continue folding the triangle in the same manner, like you’re folding a flag, until you reach the end of the sheet.
- Make sure the filling is completely enclosed within the phyllo layers.
- Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling, creating a total of 12 delicious filo triangles.
4. Bake the Filo Triangles:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the assembled filo triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the triangles with the remaining melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the filo pastry is beautifully golden and crispy.
- If you are baking the triangles from frozen, they may need a bit longer in the oven, so keep an eye on them.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the filo triangles from the oven.
- Allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Serve the warm Chocolate-Coconut Filo Triangles with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream on the side.
- The contrast of the warm, crispy filo pastry with the cold, smooth vanilla ice cream is simply irresistible!
Recipe Notes:
- These Chocolate-Coconut Filo Triangles can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for up to 2 weeks. Simply wrap them well in plastic wrap or foil before freezing.
- When ready to enjoy, bake the frozen triangles straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Feel free to get creative with the filling! Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg, or even a handful of mini chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
Now, sit back, relax, and savor every bite of these heavenly Chocolate-Coconut Filo Triangles with Vanilla Ice Cream. Whether you’re treating yourself or impressing guests, this dessert is sure to be a hit! 🍨✨
