How to Make Ekmek Kadaifi Pastry Topped With Custard And Whipped Cream

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Ekmek Kadaifi: Gently separate the shredded phyllo pastry and arrange it in a greased baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the pastry bakes, prepare the custard: In a saucepan, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 2 cups of whole milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Once the pastry is baked, pour the cooled syrup evenly over the warm kadaifi.
  7. Spread the prepared custard evenly over the soaked pastry.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently spread the whipped cream over the custard layer.
  10. Toast 1/4 cup slivered almonds in a dry pan until lightly golden brown.
  11. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the whipped cream.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
