For The Phyllo Base:
- Preheat oven to 170°C / 338°F.
- Melt the butter. Grease a 12-inch round baking pan with some of the butter.
- Take 1 phyllo pastry sheet and cover the bottom of the pan. Grease the phyllo with butter.
- Add 3 more phyllo sheets the same way. Greasing each one very well and making sure that the bottom of the pan is covered on all sides.
- Add the cream and spread it evenly with a spoon. Take the excess phyllo that hangs out of the pan and roll it inwards on top of the cream. In order to give a crumbly pie edge look.
- Bake for aproximately 30 minutes. Until both the phyllo and the cream get a nice golden brown color.
For The Topping:
- Let pie reach room temperature. Than sprinkle with honey and cinnamon. And walnuts if you like.
- Cut to 8 pieces and serve!
