Looking for a unique dessert recipe? These baklava ice cream fillo cups are the ultimate sweet treat
As a lot of you know I’m all about homemade ice cream! I had some homemade baklava leftover that I decided to turn in into ice cream, You’re not going to believe how easy this is to make. A Crispy phyllo cup sweetened with sweet syrup, topped with a scoop of baklava ice cream, garnished with pistachio.
Ingredients for ice cream:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup of milk
1 can of condensed milk
9 pieces of baklava ( chopped )
Ingredients for phyllo cups:
8 phyllo sheets
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 Cup sweet syrup
Directions:
In bowl, use whisk to combine milk, condensed milk until dissolved. Stir in heavy cream.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. It took me 25 minutes to reach a soft-serve consistency.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, slowly add in chopped Baklava.
Transfer ice cream in airtight container for at least 2-3 hours before enjoying (if you can wait that long.
Directions for baklava cups:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 12-cup muffin pan with softened butter and set aside.
Place 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface and lightly brush with melted butter using a pastry brush. Repeat with 7 more sheets of phyllo, laying each on top of the other and brushing with butter.
Using a sharp knife, slice the phyllo stack into 12 equal squares. Carefully press the phyllo squares into each buttered muffin cup, creating a ruffled phyllo cup.
Bake until the phyllo cups are crisp and deep golden in color for about 10-12 minutes.
Immediately pour the cooled syrup on top of each hot phyllo cup. Allow the cups to soak the syrup and cool.
Gently hold each cup upside down to allow any excess syrup to drip.
Transfer the phyllo cups to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Let the phyllo cups cool completely.
Fill phyllo cups with one scoop of ice cream and garnish with chopped pistachios.
