RECIPE INGREDIENTS
Filling
1 can tart pitted cherries

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

8 sheets filo pastry

Cherry Strudel Recipe at Cooking.com
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Filling:

Place the cherries and 1/4 cup of their liquid in a nonaluminum medium saucepan. Add the kirsch, sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Set aside to cool, about 30 minutes.

Place a piece of foil on a large baking sheet and brush with a little of the melted butter. Place 1 sheet of filo onto the baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and place a second sheet of filo over the first, and brush with melted butter. Repeat with all 8 sheets of the pastry. Spread the filling over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch margin on the long edges and a 2-inch margin on the short edges.

Fold the short edges in and loosely roll the pastry into a roll. Place the strudel, seam-side down, in the center of the baking sheet and brush the top with melted butter. Bake for 25 minutes, until the strudel is puffed and golden.

Slice and serve immediately, drizzled with the heavy cream.

Amazingly good! See all of BETH's reviews »
My husband made this last night and it was amazing! He was so impressed with it that he called his friend come over and to have a slice. Only thing that could make it better would be to add a little powdered sugar when whipping the heavy cream. I thought the cream was a little bland, but over all a wonderful and beautiful dessert.
