Recipe : Mango Strudel Cream Cheese

Mango Strudel Cream Cheese Recipe

I made a Mango Strudel Cream Cheese with Filo Pastry the other day and surprisingly it turned out really good. It isn’t difficult to make.
The two most important things to make this Mango Strudel delicious are being generous with butter and choosing the right kind of ripe mango.

I would suggest using Kensington Pride mango for this recipe as it has excellent flavour, juicy and it’s aromatic.
 

Ingredients

250 gm cream cheese (room temperature)

150 gm unsalted butter (room temperature)

3 tbsp of caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

6 filo pastry sheets

1 tbsp icing sugar for dusting

Filo Pastry


Procedure
 
Pre heat oven to 160 C (fan baked)

Using an electric hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Add in the egg and beat well.

Place a sheet of baking paper on your work place. Lay a sheet of filo pastry on the baking paper. Brush generously with melted butter.

Top with another sheet and brush with butter. Repeat until you have used all the sheets.
 
Spoon and spread the cheese mixture over the centre of the filo sheets horizontally, about 3 ½ inches wide, leaving a small a border along the edges.

Top the cheese spread with sliced mango. Fold in the ends of the pastry and roll up, enclosing the filling.

Brush the edges with butter to stick it down.

Brush the top surface with the remaining butter.

Lift the baking sheet carefully onto the baking tray and bake the pastry for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.



Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes.

Slice it, dust with icing sugar and devour it immediately.

Enjoy!
