Cherry and Cheese Strudel Recipe


Recipe : Cherry and Cheese Strudel

Ingredients :

4 sheets filo pastry

50g reduced fat cream cheese

100g low fat silken tofu (Morinaga)

1 egg white

1 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1/2 tbsp cherry liqueur

2 tbsp Splenda artificial sweetener powder

100g pitted cherries, canned, drained

icing sugar

Method :

Preheat the oven to 200C and lightly spray a baking tray with vegetable oil spray.

Using a food processor or electric mixer, combine the cheese, tofu, yoghurt, egg white, cinnamon, essence, liqueur and sweetener until smooth. Gently fold in the cherries.

Spread the filo pastry out and lightly spray the first and third sheets with vegetable oil spray.

Gently spoon the filling along the short end of the pastry (leaving 3cm of pastry along the edge and sides). Carefully roll the strudel up, tucking the ends in as you roll. Transfer gently to the baking tray and lightly spray the top of the strudel with vegetable oil spray.

Cook for 25-35 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with dusted icing sugar sprinkled over the top.
