I took inspiration from Danish pastries — those baked goods with custard and fruit — to create this super quick berry dessert using store-bought phyllo dough. It’s fast and budget-friendly. All you need to do is make the custard and pop them in the oven!
Make the custard: In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar. Gradually pour in the soy milk while whisking. Add the margarine (no need to melt it) and the vanilla extract.
Place the mixture on the stove and cook, whisking constantly, for about 6-7 minutes, until it comes to a boil and thickens. Pour it into a bowl and refrigerate for about an hour.
Fold the phyllo sheets in half and cut them into squares (I cut them 3x3, so 9 squares per folded sheet, or 18 squares per sheet, making a total of 72 squares). Melt the margarine.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, stack the phyllo squares, brushing a bit of melted margarine between each layer. I stack 12 squares per tart.
On top of each tart, add a heaping spoonful of custard, then top with frozen (or fresh) fruit.
