For the Phyllo
7 sheets of phyllo, thawed and at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
ground cinnamon
The Custard:
5 eggs at room temperature
1/2-3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: citrus zest or a half teaspoon of almond extract
Garnish
confectioner's sugar
ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Grease a 9 and 1/2-inch round springform pan with melted butter. Line the pan with parchment paper or foil. Place the springform pan onto a baking tray.
Brush each sheet of phyllo with melted butter and dust the top with cinnamon.
Scrunch each phyllo layer up like an accordion or roll it loosely into a long tube.
Rool the first layer of phyllo into a spiral and place it in the center of the prepared pan.
Wrap the remaining 6 layers of phyllo (accordions) around the first spiral.
Brush the top of the pie with the remaining butter and bake on the center rack for approximately 30 minutes or until it is golden.
In the meantime make the custard:
Add the eggs to a mixing bowl along with half of the sugar.
Add the milk, cream, salt, and remaining sugar to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until scalding hot. Whisk together until sugar is dissolved.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until frothy.
Add the scalding hot milk mixture to the eggs slowly to temper them while whisking constantly.
Add the vanilla extract and whisk together. Set aside.
As soon as the pan with the phyllo comes out of the oven pour the custard on top of it.
Return the pan to the oven and bake on the center rack for an additional 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for an hour.
Transfer to a serving dish and dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Serve with tea or coffee. Kali Orexi!

This looks absolutely delicious - thank you! God Bless 🤍

[@dianem8358]

Looks delicious! Dimitra says 1 cup of milk in the video but the recipe says 1 and 1/2. Not sure which is correct. Does anyone know?

[@odysseyx5100]

Do you have any left over?

[@donnamate9238]

If you make this in a 10 or 12 inch round cake pan, not springfirm, but regular cake pan, is it still the same amount of ingredients or do you need to double it? In my family i would need to make a bigger pan or make 2 of your size.

[@aidashitaye]

[@ishvilla1997]

[@jjdowner2382]

[@tanvav]

[@Mita_2023]

Ooh, I think your springform pan was leaking. Very rich dessert 🤩🤩

[@onthesideofrightwhyarentyo4103]

Ooh, I think she spoke to that-that it happened, how to prevent it and alternatives to using a springform pan. 🤩🤩

[@Psycro-RAHH]

Can you make low calorie meals? Jw

[@jennymoss2122]

Why use unsalted butter, then add salt to custard?

[@ellenwilliams3890]

Where in the recipe would you put the lemon zest? You don't state that in the recipe, only in the ingredients.

[@zucchinigreen]

At the custard making stage. She says it in the video. 5:32
