Sweetened naturally with honey and enhanced with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, these bite-sized treats are perfect for parties or a refreshing snack without the need for baking.

Ingredients

Strawberry Filling

  • 1 pound strawberries (washed and hulled)
  • Juice of half of a lemon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Assembly

  • 30 mini phyllo shells (2 boxes)
  • Whipped cream for topping the pies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: In a saucepan, add the diced strawberries, reserving 1/2 cup of them to stir in later. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the berries slightly to release their juices. Add lemon juice, granulated sugar, honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan, mixing thoroughly.
  2. Cook the strawberry mixture: Place the saucepan on medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the berries soften and the mixture begins to bubble, approximately 6 minutes. Add the reserved 1/2 cup diced strawberries to the pot, stirring to combine.
  3. Thicken the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour this slurry into the strawberry mixture, stirring continuously. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the filling thickens and clears from any cloudiness caused by the cornstarch.
  4. Finish and chill the filling: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the filling to cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  5. Assemble the pie bites: Once the strawberry filling is cold, spoon a portion into each mini phyllo shell. Top each filled shell with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the strawberry filling is completely chilled before assembling to prevent the phyllo shells from becoming soggy.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different natural sweetness.
  • Mini phyllo shells can usually be found in the frozen section of grocery stores; thaw according to package instructions before filling.
  • For added texture, consider topping the pie bites with finely chopped nuts such as pistachios or almonds.
  • These bites are best served the same day assembled to maintain the crispness of the shells.
