What You Need

sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed

1/4

cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1/2

cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/4

cup maple-flavored or pancake syrup

cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

1/2

cup PLANTERS Chopped Pecans, toasted

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Stack 3 of the phyllo sheets on cutting board, brushing each with melted butter before stacking the next sheet. Cut into 6 squares. Place 1 square in each of 6 medium muffin cups, pressing pastry onto bottom and up side of each cup. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar and syrup in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping.

SPRINKLE 2 tsp. of the pecans into each cup; top each with scant 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate 2 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup pecans.

This was an easy recipe to make! It looks complicated but it is really simple. It tasted great and was at big hit at our Sunday School Breakfast at church. A few people wanted the recipe!

Great recipe! I substituted the pecans with crushed chocolate covered gram cracker cookies. It came out excellent!

This looks like an elegant dessert to make...nice individual servings for a party or such. To clarify comment from kellysue, each stack of 3 sheets of phyllo makes 6 cups with a total of 9 sheets making 18 servings. It also calls for 2 tsp of pecans to be sprinkled in cups before putting in filling, then sprinkling with remaining 1/4 cup of pecans using the entire 1/2 cup. I plan on experimenting with different flavors for filling, such as lemon juice and powdered sugar or maybe even peanut butter drizzled with a little chocolate...yum!

Really not so difficult KellySue, the remainder of the nuts go on top, looks pretty. The initial 3 phyllo's go for the first 6 cupcake's x 3 makes 18. Try it really is quite good and simple. Be careful not to burn the phyllo dough Elizabeth

The whole thing confused me and thus, I didn't make it. It calls for 6 muffin cups and explains how to make 6 phyllo cups. But, down below, it talks about the yield being 18 cups. I don't get it! Also, the ingredient list states 1/2 cup pecans but the recipe copy states 1/4 cup pecans.
