Apple Phyllo Strudel with Warm Cream Cheese Sauce
Vive Le Vegan!
Another creation of Dreena's! These are always so good. :) I made a cream cheese (Tofutti), agave and stevia sweetened sauce, too, instead of serving it with ice cream. Very good recipe!
How do you usually substitute agave for sugar? Do you decrease the other liquids by a certain amount? This dessert looks yummy! Too bad I don't have the patience to work with phyllo.
I didn't substitute agave for sugar. I just kind of sweetened the cream cheese with what I thought would taste good and also thinned it out with the agave. I think you can sub agave for sugar at a 1:1 ratio or maybe a little less agave. Not sure about the liquid measurement change. I'm sorry I couldn't be mroe help!
I have gotten phyllo that was wonderful and other times horrible to work with. It has to do with how the store and producer handles it more than anything, I think, as far as refreezing and causing problems that way. But if you don't have a perfect rectangle, with phyllo, it doesn't matter; you can practically make what shape you want with puzzle pieces of the dough and make it work (with layers).
More great stuff, Cherie. I better be careful about reading your blog when i'm hungry. I don't want to short circuit the computer from my drool! This looks really delicious!
