Phyllo cake is a layered dessert that is made using layers of thin and flaky pastry sheets. It is a popular dessert in Middle Eastern cuisine, and it is often filled with a variety of ingredients such as nuts, fruits, and cream. One of the most delicious and unique versions of this dessert is the Phyllo pastry cake with Middle Eastern cream.

The Middle Eastern cream used in this dessert is known as Ashta, which is a rich and creamy filling made from milk and cornstarch. The silky smooth texture of this cream makes it an ideal filling for layered desserts such as Phyllo pastry cake. The cream is also flavored with rose water and orange blossom water, which gives it a distinct Middle Eastern flavor.

To make the Phyllo pastry cake with Middle Eastern cream, you will need a few ingredients such as phyllo pastry sheets, butter, sugar, pistachios, and the Middle Eastern cream. You will also need a baking dish to layer the pastry sheets.

To start, you will need to prepare the Middle Eastern cream by heating milk over medium heat in a saucepan. Once the milk has heated up, add a mixture of cornstarch and sugar to the milk and whisk until it thickens and becomes smooth. Continue cooking the mixture for a few minutes until it thickens further.

Once the cream has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the rose water and orange blossom water. Cover the cream and let it cool down.

Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Brush some melted butter on the bottom of your baking dish, and start layering the phyllo pastry sheets on top. Brush each layer of the pastry sheet with melted butter and sprinkle some sugar and crushed pistachios on top.

Continue layering the pastry sheets until you have used all the sheets. Make sure you brush butter on the final layer as well.

Now, pour the Middle Eastern cream over the top of the layered Phyllo pastry sheets, making sure it is spread evenly. Sprinkle some more crushed pistachios on top of the cream.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for around 20-25 minutes or until the Phyllo pastry is golden brown and the cream has set.

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool down. You can additionally sprinkle some powdered sugar or ground cinnamon on top for added flavor before serving.

The Phyllo pastry cake with Middle Eastern cream is a perfect dessert for any occasion. Its delicate layers of Phyllo pastry, rich creamy filling, and exotic flavors will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more. This dessert is also a great way to explore Middle Eastern cuisine and to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
