Phyllo Dough Cake or Phyllo Crinkle
Description
This dessert starts with multiple sheets of phyllo dough folded accordion-style to fit a baking pan, brushed generously with melted unsalted butter, and baked until crisp and lightly golden. Meanwhile, a custard is prepared by whisking eggs and granulated sugar, then blending in half and half, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Once the phyllo base is baked, the custard is poured on top and the dessert is garnished with fresh blueberries and raspberries. It is then baked again until the custard sets and the top becomes golden brown.
The resulting dish offers a flaky, crunchy bottom layer from the phyllo with a smooth, tangy custard enriched by the citrus and vanilla. The berries add freshness and slight tartness, balancing the richness. The custard filling holds the dessert together, making it suitable to serve sliced as a delicate cake. A dusting of powdered sugar on top adds a finishing touch that enhances its presentation.
