Ingredients
- 6 pieces Filo pastry sheets
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut
- 75 grams Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 500 ml Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional for drizzling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped dark chocolate and desiccated coconut. Mix well to create the filling.
Step 3
Lay out one sheet of filo pastry on a clean work surface. Keep the other sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Step 4
Brush the filo sheet lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush. Fold it lengthwise into thirds, creating a long strip approximately 8-10 cm wide.
Step 5
Spoon a small amount (about 1 tablespoon) of the chocolate-coconut mixture onto one end of the strip.
Step 6
Fold the corner of the filo strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle over itself along the length of the strip until you reach the end, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.
Step 7
Brush the outside of the triangle with more melted butter and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
Step 8
Repeat this process with the remaining filo sheets and filling, placing the finished triangles on the prepared baking tray.
Step 9
Bake the triangles in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 10
Remove the triangles from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Step 11
Serve the warm triangles with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. For extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey over the top if desired.
