8 sheets phyllo dough (14-inches x 9-inches)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups fresh raspberries
Confectioners' sugar

  • Place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate, covered, until cold., Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out). Brush phyllo sheet with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Repeat layers seven times. Cut into eight rectangles. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet., Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack., Gently split each pastry horizontally in half.

I had a hard time finding raspberry preserves, so I used strawberry preserves instead. They turned out great!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of chocolate. I used semisweet chocolate, but I think bittersweet chocolate would have been better.
