Chocolate Filled Phyllo Triangles

Last updated on October 30, 2022 By Anna 3 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

If you ever have a few spare sheets of phyllo dough, make Chocolate Filled Phyllo Triangles! They're flaky little pastries stuffed with chocolate or ganache. I made a bunch of them yesterday using some phyllo leftover from Spanakopita.

This is one of those "no-recipe recipes" where you can go freestyle and do whatever you want. For this batch, I cut a 9x14 inch sheet of ready-to-use phyllo into three long strips, put a bit of chocolate at the bottom of each strip, then folded upward as one would fold a flag. The ones in the photo directly below were made with one sheet of phyllo that was cut into three strips. Each strip was then folded into a triangle.

If you don't like chocolate, fill them with something else.

Chocolate Phyllo Triangles With More Dough

Lately I've been making the triangles with a higher ratio of phyllo to chocolate. Instead of using one strip to make one triangle, I use one whole sheet which I fold into thirds lengthwise, spray with cooking spray (or brush with melted butter), then roll up with chocolate. I love using Guittard semisweet baking wafers because they stay put when rolling and melt beautifully.

But the results sure are!

I made Chocolate Filled Phyllo Triangles, but you could fill these with a mixture of cinnamon and nuts (maybe dot with some honey), apple pie filling or maybe even something savory.

One sheet of phyllo, folded in thirds for a long rectangle, then filled with chocolate and folded upward into triangle.

How Many?

I didn't give an exact yield because it really just depends on how many sheets of phyllo you have. You can use one sheet of phyllo and make three triangles or use one sheet of phyllo to make three flakier, higher-phyllo-ratio triangles. So make as many as you want with however much phyllo you have.

Not sure what to do with leftover phyllo? Try these. You'll get three triangles for every sheet of phyllo.

    I like to add some chopped pistachios to the chocolate. Often I'll shape them into 'logs' or 'cigars' or even puffs....tho the flag shape is always great!
