Phyllo dough crinkle cake with rose, cardamom and pistachios
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 box phyllo dough
- 2 sticks butter melted
Custard
- 1 cup milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon rose essence
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 eggs **
Syrup (See notes)
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon rose essence **
Garnish
- ½ cup chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon rose petals
Instructions
- Defrost the phyllo dough as per the package instructions. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Take 2 layers of phyllo dough together at a time holding the sheets together at the top and let them hang from your fingers. Using your fingers to “crinkle” the sheets, gently fold back and forth in an accordion-style drawing the bottom up to the top.
- Lay the folded dough into an ungreased rectangular baking dish starting at the shorter side and continue filling in the folded sheets down the length of the pan. *See video for my demonstration!
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Melt butter in a small sauce pan.
- Remove the pan and evenly pour melted butter over the dough. Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Combine milk, sugar, cardamom, rose essensce, and eggs with a whisk to form the custard. Remove pan from oven and evenly pour the custard over phyllo dough. Return pan to oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.
- Combine water, sugar, and rose essence in a saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes as the syrup forms a one-string consistency. Drizzle over the cake after removing it from the oven. Cut into 3-inch squares.
