1
Mix Cheese and Honey
In a mixing bowl, combine the chevre cheese and honey. Use a fork to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
2
Chop Dried Fruits
Finely chop the dried fruits of your choice and fold them into the cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

3
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
4
Prepare Phyllo Sheets
Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Brush the entire sheet with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat until you have 3 layers.
5
Add Filling
Spoon a portion of the cheese and dried fruit filling onto one end of the layered phyllo dough. Shape it into a log, leaving some space at the edges.
6
Roll and Seal
Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the filled end to the opposite end. Brush the end with more melted butter to seal.
7
Repeat
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling until all are assembled.

8
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the rolled trouxas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
9
Brush with Butter
Brush the tops of the trouxas with more melted butter for a golden finish.
10
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

11
Cool and Serve
Remove the trouxas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with additional honey if desired.
