Description

Delight your guests with creamy Brie Phyllo Cups with Blackberry and Thyme, a stunning appetizer that combines rich plant-based Brie cheese with sweet fresh blackberries and fragrant thyme in crispy phyllo cups. This bite-sized treat balances crisp, creamy, and fruity flavors, perfect for parties or special snacks with an elegant presentation.

Ingredients

For the Phyllo Cups

  • Phyllo Dough sheets, several layers
  • Olive Oil, for brushing

For the Filling

  • Plant-Based Brie Cheese, softened

For the Blackberry Topping

  • Fresh Blackberries
  • Honey or Maple Syrup (natural)
  • Lemon Zest
  • Natural Gelling Agent

For Garnish

  • Fresh Thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Phyllo Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently brush several layers of phyllo dough with olive oil, stacking them carefully to build strength and crispness. Press the layered sheets into mini muffin tins to form cup shapes, then bake until golden and crisp, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the Blackberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine fresh blackberries with honey or maple syrup (natural) and a splash of lemon zest. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and release their juices. Stir in a small amount of natural gelling agent until the mixture thickens to a luscious consistency. Allow the topping to cool to room temperature.
  3. Assemble the Cups: Spoon a smooth layer of softened plant-based Brie cheese into each phyllo cup. Add a dollop of the blackberry topping over the cheese. Garnish each cup with a fresh thyme leaf to brighten the flavors and complete the look.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the filled Brie Phyllo Cups with Blackberry and Thyme on a pretty platter. Serve immediately so that the phyllo stays crisp and the cheese maintains its creamy texture.

Notes

  • Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying while working.
  • Use enough olive oil to ensure crisp, golden layers.
  • Add just enough natural gelling agent to thicken the blackberry topping without making it firm.
  • Let the plant-based Brie soften a bit before spooning for smoother layering.
  • Add fresh thyme just before serving to maintain its vibrant flavor.
