Filo Fruit Fingers 

Something different

Ingredients:

3 cup Fresh diced fruit of your choice

2 Tbsp Almond meal

1 Tbsp Liqueur of choice

1 Tbsp Cocoa

2 Tbsp Equal Spoonful

8 Filo pastry

1/2 cup Fresh fruit (one kind only)

1 Tbsp Equal Spoonful (extra)

Directions:

Toss the fruit with the nut meal and liqueur.
In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa and Equal. Lay down a sheet of pastry and dust with the cocoa mixture. Top with another two and dust again, then top with one more sheet.
Cut in half across and then down to make 4 rectangles. Spoon 1/8 of the fruit on the end of one rectangle, leaving 2cm at each side. Fold in ends and roll up into fingers.
Repeat with remaining pastry.
Place on a paper lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve straight away with fruit coulis and low fat custard or yoghurt. If desired, just before serving, sprinkle with a little extra Equal and cocoa mixture.

To make Coulis, puree fruit with the Equal in a blender, adding a little water or juice to make desired consistency.

Variations:

For a quick and colourful dessert, try a Fruit Platter with Creamy Dip and Cinnamon Wontons. Slice a platter of your favourite seasonal fruits and serve with Vanilla Ricotta Cream or combine ricotta with low fat fruche for added tang. Make it even more exotic with some Crispy Cinnamon Wontons. Brush wontons (available from Asian Stores and many supermarkets) lightly with oil and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and Equal. Lay on a lined baking tray and bake in a moderate oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
