Summer Strudel
- 1-1/2 pounds, 3/4 ounces, weight Pitted Morello Cherries
- 16 Tablespoons Caster Sugar, Divided Use
- 4 Tablespoons Semolina
- 1-1/2 pounds, 3/4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 4 Eggs, Divided
- 1 pound, 1-2/3 ounces, weight Fillo Pastry
- 10 tablespoons, 7 pinches Sunflower Oil

- 1 Tablespoon Icing Sugar, For Sprinkling
- 1. Mix cherries with 8 tablespoons sugar and semolina. Mix cream cheese with 6 tablespoons caster sugar, vanilla extract and 3 eggs.
- 2. To fold your strudel use a large kitchen towel. Place a sheet of pastry lengthwise on the towel and brush it with oil. Run a strip of your cream cheese mixture lengthwise down the middle of the pastry, add a strip of cherries mixture next to the cream cheese, then fold the pastry over using the towel.
- 3. Place another sheet of pastry on the towel, brush it with oil and add a strip of cherries and cream cheese mixture. Use the towel to fold the pastry as you did with the last one. Place the rolls in a baking tray lined with baking paper. Set them next to each other one by one (overlap them). Brush the tops of them with oil.
- 4. Do the same with remaining sheets, and filling mixtures until you used all of the cream cheese and cherries. Mix heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and the remaining egg. Pour this mixture over the strudels in the pan.
- 5.Preheat oven to 180 C and bake for 40 minutes. Cool and serve sprinkled with icing sugar.
