Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar, Divided
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 package (4 Sheets) Fillo Dough
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1/3 cups Strawberry Jelly
  • 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Tablespoons Nutella

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Combine 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll out the thawed fillo dough, and gently place one sheet on a cutting board. Brush some of the melted butter on the fillo dough and sprinkle with some of the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Grab another sheet of the fillo dough and repeat the butter and cinnamon/sugar step. Do this until you have 4 sheets of fillo dough stacked up. Cut the stacked sheets so that you have 12 somewhat-even squares.
  • Using a large muffin pan, place each fillo square into the muffin tin so that you create 12 tarts. Bake the tarts for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. You could also make 24 mini tarts using a mini muffin pan, or of course just use by the pre-made fillo cups at the store.
  • As the tarts are baking, mix the cream cheese, strawberry jelly, extract, and remaining tablespoon of sugar all together. Once the tarts are out of the oven and cooled slightly, fill with the cream cheese mixture. Microwave the Nutella for about 30 seconds or until warmed. Spoon the nutella onto the cream cheese mixture in each tart and swirl with a toothpick.
  • Place the tarts on a plate and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy!
