Ingredients

Kadayif

  • 250 grams shredded phyllo
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 150 grams sugar
  • 150 grams walnut

Pudding

  • 1 litre milk
  • 3 tablespoons corn flour
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 175 grams sugar
  • 75 grams whipping cream powder

Instructions

Kadayif

  • Start with the kadayif first. If the kadayif is stiff separate thoroughly with your fingers.
  • Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the chopped walnuts and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add the kadayif and sauté until they take a brownish color. It will take some time, be patient, they will eventually get there. Always mix and make sure they do not get burnt.
  • When close to getting ready, add the sugar and mix well again.
  • Place half of the kadayıf on your service plate. Set aside the other half until the pudding is ready.

Pudding

  • Put all the pudding ingredients except the whipping cream powder in a pot. Mix well, then place on the stove.
  • Over medium heat and always stirring cook until the mixture starts to look and feel like a pudding.
  • Set aside to cool. Then add the whipping cream powder and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Then pour evenly all the pudding on top of the half of the kadayıf.

Kadayıf

  • Add the remaining browned kadayıf on top to cover the pudding.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon and garnish with pomegrante seeds if available.
  • Serve chilled in the fridge. Best when newly made as it will be crispy on top and soft in the middle.
