Sour Cherry Vanilla Strudel
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.
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.
