Sour Cherry Strudel

July 10, 2015 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

Our family loves to eat strudel. Whether it’s apple, cheese, or cherry strudel. When I have time I made my own homemade phyllo dough, but this time I made it with store-bought.

This strudel is simple, easy, juicy, and delicious. It is made with instant pudding powder, which in this case is used to soak up extra liquid but it gives a special vanilla taste.

Since sour cherries are in season now I made this one with fresh cherries, but also it can be made with frozen ones.

I adapted this recipe from my fellow Croatian blogger Tamara from Bite My Cake blog.

Ingredients

  • 9 sheets of phyllo dough
  • 700 grams sour cherries (24.7 oz) fresh or frozen, pitted
  • 150 grams granulated sugar (3/4 cup, 5.3 oz)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 packets vanilla pudding powder each packet is 1.4 oz- 42 g
  • some powdered sugar for dusting
  • some oil or melted butter for the dough
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
  • For the filling mix sour cherries (if using frozen, thawed them, and drain the juice, you can leave a little liquid), mix with sugar and pudding. Set aside.
  • Take 3 sheets of phyllo dough and brush each sheet with oil or butter. Stack 3 sheets on top of each other and arrange sour cherry filling on top of the third sheet. Roll the dough. On each roll spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and cherry filling.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Put strudel on it and bake for about 35-40 minutes.
  • Let cool and sprinkle with some powdered sugar before serving. You can serve with some vanilla ice cream.

Notes

***In Croatia, we are using grams and milliliters. Every recipe has a measuring in grams (milliliter), cups and ounces. I own cups and spoons measuring tools and I try to be exact when I convert weight into volume (cups), but there is a slight possibility of deviation from the exact amount. Due to differences in measurement, I recommend that you use a kitchen scale if you have one.
