Chocolate Almond Phyllo Crispies
When I first spotted vegan phyllo dough at the market I was very excited. The odd thing is that I’ve never made anything with phyllo. But, I do love a good baking challenge so I bought a package. After scouring recipes using phyllo, I decided on one that sounded relatively simple.
Servings: 12
Equipment
- 9x13-inch pan
- Blender
Ingredients
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 2 ounces dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup vegan sugar
- 1 1/2 cups almonds roasted and ground
- zest of 1/2 an orange
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 12 sheets phyllo dough defrosted per package directions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Chop chocolate into 1/2” pieces and mix in blender with sugar. Combine chocolate mixture in a bowl with almonds and orange zest. Brush bottom of a 9x13” pan with oil. Cut phyllo sheets to fit the pan.
- Place a sheet of phyllo brushed with oil in the pan. Sprinkle chocolate-almond mixture lightly over top. Alternate phyllo sheet (with brushed oil), then chocolate, until all phyllo and mixture are used. Cut into squares or triangles with a sharp knife. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
