Quick & Easy Fruit Phyllo Packets

These are great to whip up and throw in the oven while you're eating dinner. Supremely easy, flexible (use what you have) and the phyllo pastry goes a long way. Most packages come with 20 sheets or so, so if you use frozen fruit these desserts are also pretty inexpensive! Also, totally yummy.

Serves 4

4 sheets phyllo pastry
3-4 cups of frozen or fresh fruit (frozen is easier but use what you have, and as much as you like)
1 package fat-free/sugar-free vanilla pudding mix (could use chocolate, I'm sure)
Pam

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine fruit and pudding mix in a bowl and set aside. Thaw phyllo pastry ahead of time in the fridge and separate sheets (re-freeze the rest for later, up to 3 months). Spray each sheet lightly with Pam and fold in half. Arrange 1/4 of the fruit mixture on each sheet and fold into packets, so that each side has roughly the same number of phyllo layers. Place seem side down on a cookie sheet (spray with Pam, as well, to avoid sticking) and spray tops lightly with Pam to help them brown in the oven. Bake for 15 mins or longer, until phyllo is golden brown and fruit is warmed through.
