Ingredients:
- 4 sheets of phyllo pastry
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 4 small pieces of frozen cheesecake
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup orange juice
For the Raspberry Orange Sauce:
- 1/3 cup raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup orange juice
Instructions:
-
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven to ensure even baking.
-
Prepare the Phyllo Pastry: Place two sheets of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush them generously with melted butter. Layer another sheet of phyllo on top, and brush this new layer with butter as well.
-
Create the Squares: Carefully cut the stacked phyllo into four squares, making sure they are even in size. Each square will serve as a wrap for your cheesecake.
-
Assemble the Cheesecakes: Place a piece of frozen cheesecake in the center of each phyllo square. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam over the top of the cheesecake.
-
Wrap the Cheesecake: Gently fold the edges of the phyllo around the cheesecake to form a little purse or bundle. Pinch the edges together to seal, ensuring the cheesecake is completely enclosed.
-
Brush with Butter: Brush the exterior of each phyllo-wrapped cheesecake with the remaining melted butter. This will help the pastry achieve a golden, crispy texture when baked.
-
Bake the Cheesecakes: Place the wrapped cheesecakes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
-
Make the Raspberry Orange Sauce: While the cheesecakes are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining raspberry jam and orange juice. Stir over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Serve: Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle the warm raspberry orange sauce over the top of each cheesecake before serving.
Enjoy these irresistible Phyllo-Wrapped Cheesecakes as a decadent end to your meal. The crispy phyllo pastry combined with the creamy cheesecake and tangy raspberry orange sauce creates a truly memorable dessert experience. 🍊🍓💖
