Phyllo Chips With Lemon Curd Dip Recipes

PHYLLO CHIPS WITH LEMON CURD DIP

Steps:

• Lemon curd: Bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in a large saucepan.
• In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the eggs and sugar together until very light yellow and fluffy. Whisk in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Rest the mixing bowl in the saucepan, with the bowl's base above the simmering water (pour out some of the water if necessary). Cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and custardy, about 15 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the butter. Let cool, cover, and refrigerate until cold. Fold in the whipped cream.
• Phyllo triangles: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Place 1 sheet of phyllo on the pan and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of sugar, then place another sheet of phyllo on top. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar, lay another sheet of phyllo on top, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with sugar.
• With a small sharp knife, cut the stacked phyllo into rows, then cut the rows into triangles, making about 36 triangles. Cover with parchment paper. To keep the phyllo from buckling during baking, place a pan on top of the parchment paper that is slightly smaller to weight it down. Bake until the phyllo is golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool between the pans.
• To assemble the dessert, place a spoonful of the lightened lemon curd on 8 plates or place it in a bowl in the center of a serving platter. Stick 3 to 4 phyllo triangles in the curd decoratively or just place them in a ring around the bowl of lemon curd.

LEMON MERINGUE TARTS IN PHYLLO CUPS

Steps:

• For curd: Whip eggs and sugar until very light and fluffy with a whip attachment.
• Gradually mix in lemon juice and rind. Place over boiling water and cook, whisking until extremely thick, about 5 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and whisk in butter. Pour into a container, cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight to stiffen.
• For tart dough:
• Lay one sheet of phyllo on work surface. Brush with clarified butter and sprinkle with sugar.
• Repeat the process with the second and third sheets. Cut into 3-inch squares.
• Lay 18 tartlet molds upside down on a sheet pan. Lay 1 square of phyllo over each pan, then place a second one on top of phyllo to help form tartlet shells. The square corners will spread out flat on the sheet pan.
• Bake in this upside down position weighted down with another sheet pan at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.
• Let phyllo cool slightly, but while still warm remove from molds. Cool completely then fill with lemon curd by piping with a plain tip.
• For meringue:
• Whip egg whites until stiff but not dry then add the brown sugar gradually and continue whipping until stiff.
• Pipe onto lemon curd with a star tip and brown with a blow torch or under the broiler.
