Ingredients

  • teaspoons confectioners sugar 
  • 0.5 tablespoon granulated sugar 
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream chilled
  • teaspoons honey 
  • pound phyllo frozen thawed (not )
  •  strawberries cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • tablespoons butter unsalted melted

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • sieve
  • plastic wrap
  • hand mixer

Directions

  1. Without unrolling phyllo log, cut 2 (3/8-inch-thick) slices crosswise from one end of log and thaw slices 5 minutes. (Save remaining frozen phyllo for another use.)
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  3. Lightly brush a baking sheet with some of melted butter.
  4. Carefully unfurl slices from phyllo rolls on a work surface, discarding any plastic or paper rolled within. Gently separate strands, keeping them parallel, then gather into 4 groups, about 14 strands each. Cover 3 groups with plastic wrap. Gently hold one end of remaining (uncovered) group of strands and brush with some of melted butter, then dust with 1/2 teaspoon confectioners sugar using a fine-mesh sieve. Flip over and brush other side with butter and dust with confectioners sugar in same manner. Loosely coil up coated strands to form a small nest and put on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining clusters to form 3 more nests.
  5. Bake nests in middle of oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool nests on sheet on a rack, 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Beat cream with granulated sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds soft peaks.
  7. Drizzle each phyllo nest all over with 1/4 teaspoon honey and put 1 tablespoon whipped cream in center. Top with strawberries and remaining cream, then drizzle each dessert with 1/4 teaspoon more honey.
