You’ll love the contrasting textures of delicate, crunchy pastry and velvety filling here. Fillo (also filo or phyllo) pastry dough is made from parchment-thin sheets of dough that have been brushed with butter before stacking in multiple layers, which yields fine leafy layers of crisp pastry when baked. This type of pastry is used in both sweet and savory recipes, such as traditional Greek baklava and spanakopita. It is available in boxes in the freezer case of most supermarkets. You can swap the blackberries for blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries—whatever is fresh and ripe at the market.
