- 10 Servings
- 80 Calories per Serving
Easy appetizers that are great for a wine tasting or reception or as a side dish for a new take on the traditional cranberry sauce.
Ingredient List
- 20 frozen mini fillo shells from 2 packages (2.1 oz each)
- 1 cup Mountain High™ Yoghurt Cheese*
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cranberry relish
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pineapple
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
- Additional cranberry relish for garnish, if desired
- Additional chopped pecans for garnish, if desired
Preparation
- Bake phyllo cups according to package directions. Cool completely.
- In a small bowl, gently combine the yoghurt cheese and powdered sugar. (Mix well but don't stir too aggressively or Yoghurt Cheese will thin.)
- Pat the chopped pineapple with a paper towel to absorb the liquid. To combine the pineapple, cranberry relish, and pecans with the Greek Yoghurt mixture, cut the ingredients in with a butter knife and a zig-zag motion. Be careful not to over mix or you will lose the color variation.
- Place one tablespoon of the cranberry mixture into each phyllo cup. Garnish with additional cranberry relish and pecans.
Tips
- *To make Mountain High™ Yoghurt Cheese, line medium colander with flat-bottomed paper coffee filters; place colander in bowl. Spoon 1 tub Mountain High™ original, lowfat or fat free plain yoghurt into lined colander. Cover strainer and bowl; refrigerate at least 12 hours. Discard whey (liquid) in bowl. Unmold cheese with strainer onto plate. Remove strainer; peel away coffee filter. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut.
