These delicate vanilla filo parcels are something I've been making for years, and they never fail to impress. They're surprisingly simple to put together, coming together in just 45 minutes from start to finish, which makes them perfect for weeknight desserts or last minute gatherings. The yogurt in the filling adds a lovely tang while providing probiotics that support digestive health, and it keeps the parcels wonderfully moist. Best of all, most of these ingredients are probably already sitting in your pantry, so you won't need an expensive shopping trip. When they emerge from the oven all golden and crispy, your kitchen will smell absolutely heavenly.
