DESSERT
Custard-Filled Phyllo Triangles
Prep Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 70mins
Makes: 12 servings
Ingredients
2 cups milk
1/2 cup semolina, farina or cornstarch
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoon orange liqueur, such as Cointreau, or orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
12 sheets (1/2 pound) ready-made phyllo dough
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Ground nuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring the milk to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan and slowly whisk in the semolina. Reduce the heat and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and whisk in the sugar. Temper the egg mixture by slowly adding it to the hot milk mixture and whisking constantly. Stir in the liqueur, vanilla extract and orange zest. Cover with a piece of plastic directly on the surface of the custard to keep a skin from forming as it cools. Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with melted butter; fold into thirds. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the custard on one corner of the phyllo strip and fold over to make a triangle; continue folding end-over-end, as a flag. Place the triangle on a cookie sheet and brush the top with butter. Repeat this process with remaining phyllo sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, cinnamon and ground nuts. Serve warm.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more sugar to the custard filling and I used a different type of filo pastry.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my filo pastry turned out soggy. Maybe I didn't bake it long enough?

I'm not a big fan of custard, but I loved this recipe. The filo pastry was so crispy and flaky, and the custard was light and flavorful.
