For Phyllo Squares: Lightly oil 2 large baking sheets. Stack phyllo sheets on work surface. Trim to 10½-inch square (set scraps aside for another use). Place 1 phyllo square on work surface (cover remaining phyllo with plastic wrap and damp kitchen towel). Sprinkle with 1 generous teaspoon sugar. Top with second phyllo square. Brush lightly with melted unsalted butter. Sprinkle with 1 generous teaspoon sugar. Top with third phyllo square. Sprinkle with 1 generous teaspoon sugar. Cut phyllo stack into 9 equal stacked squares. Arrange stacked phyllo squares on prepared baking sheet. Repeat layering and cutting with remaining 3 phyllo sheets, sugar and butter making total of 18 stacked phyllo squares. Bake until phyllo is golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to racks and cool completely.

3

For Lemon Cream: Beat cream, 1½ teaspoons powdered sugar and vanilla in large bowl until medium peaks form. Whisk lemon curd in another medium bowl until smooth. Add to cream mixture. Beat to stiff peaks.

4

Spread 1 generous tablespoon lemon cream on each of 6 stacked phyllo squares. Top each with 6 raspberries. Layer each with 6 raspberries. Layer each with 1 phyllo square, 1 more tablespoon lemon cream and 6 raspberries (save any remaining lemon cream for another use). Top each with 1 phyllo square. Sift powdered sugar over desserts. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover loosely and refrigerate).

 Cooking Tips

*Use a pastry bag to dole out the cream to create a very neat and beautiful look.

**You can also try using strawberry slices in place of raspberries.

***Lemon curd is available in the preserves section of most supermarket.

****Grate chocolate over the top for a finishing touch.

*****For an easy way out, try using the pre-made phyllo cups instead of making the napoleon. Just add a teaspoon of lemon cream in each cup and garnish with raspberries and blueberries.
