If custard and baklava had a baby, it would be this dish. Although traditional Baklava is not that difficult to make, this Custard Baklava recipe is even easier and less time-consuming. This recipe will give you the exact same sweet 🍯 honey taste of Baklava, but it’s creamier, more luscious and an absolute showstopper. This dish can be served for your guests as it makes the most incredible and unique dessert. I know everyone will be blown away as there is nothing like it online. This recipe is original and a guaranteed winner on the table!
How to Prepare Custard Baklava
🥛 Start by adding milk to a pot and let it come to a simmer on the stove, careful not to boil. 🥚 In the meantime, in a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks, sugar, and cornstarch together until combined. 👩🍳 Once the milk has heated, add it to the yolk mixture, one ladle at a time as you whisk, until all the milk is incorporated. 🌡️Add the egg mixture back into the pot and cook on LOW. ⏲️ Stir until the custard starts to thicken (about 4 minutes) and reaches 185F (85C) (check with a candy thermometer). 🧈 Now, turn off the heat and then stir in 1 tablespoon butter for a thicker custard. Add a touch of vanilla extract. ❄️ Pour into a heatproof bowl, and cool to room temperature with plastic wrap on top. 🔪 Next, using a knife, chop some walnuts and then mix them with cinnamon. 🥄Spread the custard onto a serving dish, and then sprinkle with the walnuts. 🍯 Finally, drizzle with honey and serve with phyllo cups. Enjoy!
