Ingredients

2 small (500g) ripe pears, peeled, cored, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 pinch ground cinnamon

8 sheets filo pastry

cooking oil spray

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (thawed)

2 tablespoon chocolate hazelnut spread

2 tablespoon flaked almonds

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place pear, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl; toss to coat.

2.For each strudel, place 2 sheets of pastry on a flat surface; spray with cooking oil. Arrange 1/4 of pear mixture in centre of pastry. Top with 1/4 of the cherries and 2 teaspoons of spread. Fold in long sides of pastry, then roll from 1 short end to enclose filling and form a parcel. Repeat with remaining parcels.

3.Place parcels on prepared trays; spray tops with oil. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Dust with icing sugar; serve with ice-cream

While working, cover pastry with plastic food wrap and a damp tea-towel. You can make strudels ahead and bake just before serving.
