Time 1h5m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb frozen kadaifi (shredded wheat pastry, available in the freezer section of most good supermarkets, next to the phyll)
6 ounces butter, melted
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 lemons, juice of or 1 cinnamon stick, in place of the citrus
1/2 fresh lemon rind
3 orange slices, with rind
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups milk (3 hot & 1 cold)
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces whipped cream
slivered toasted almonds or pistachios

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees; pull apart the 'threads' of the kadaifi into a 13x9-inch glass baking dish, packing down lightly with fingertips; drizzle with butter and bake 40 minutes or until golden brown; remove from oven and cool.
  • In small pot, combine remaining crust ingredients; bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes; remove citrus rinds (if you don't want citrus, boil syrup with a cinnamon stick and remove); spoon syrup over kadaifi and cool.
  • Custard: Combine flour, cornstarch, and sugar in small bowl; add cold milk and whisk to remove any lumps; whisk in egg yolks; strain mixture through sieve into hot milk.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens; add vanilla and place plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent skin from forming; cool for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Spread custard evenly over kadaifi crust; refrigerate 1 1/2 to 2 hours minimum; then top with layer of whipped cream and decorate with slivered, toasted almonds or pistachios.
  • Chill well before serving.

EKMEK KADAIFI WITH CHOCOLATE CUSTARD.



Ekmek Kadaifi With Chocolate Custard. image

I adore ekmek kadaifi in its typical form with the syrupy base of shredded wheat pastry, cool custard and whipped cream topping but I was feeling adventurous last night and I decided to try out this dessert with some less traditional additions such as a rich dark chocolate. It turned out absolutely divine and a great variation on this sweet. Note that this recipe makes a huge amount and it keeps well in the fridge for at least 8 days. A great make-ahead summer dessert.

Time 2h15m

Yield 30 pieces, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

500 g kadaifi
250 g butter (you can use margarine)
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 1/2 liters milk
120 g custard powder
10 tablespoons sugar (you can reduce to 8 or increase to 12 tbs)
100 g dark chocolate couverture (70% cocoa solids)
orange zest (from one small orange)
1 tablespoon cognac (can use rum instead)
400 g Cool Whip (I use a tin of Morfat)
250 g icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon cognac (optional)
chocolate shavings

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180 celcius (fan-forced).
  • Defrost kadaifi if frozen and scrunch together gently to loosen strands. It should double in volume and fill a 32 x 40cm baking dish. (Don't worry it shrinks when baking.).
  • Cut butter into small pieces and dot evenly over the kadaifi.
  • Bake in oven for around 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • While pastry is baking prepare the syrup.
  • Add water and sugar in a small saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Switch off and allow to cool slightly.
  • When the pastry has also cooled slightly add warm syrup over the entire surface of the pastry using a ladle. Don't add it while the pastry is too hot or it will sizzle and evaporate.
  • Allow to cool while you prepare the custard.
  • Heat 1 litre of milk in a large pot. Pour the remaining 500mls in a small bowl and add the custard powder and combine with a whisk until there are no lumps (you can use your hands if you like).
  • When the milk has warmed up but is not too hot to dip a finger into, pour in the custard powder mixture whisking constantly.
  • The mixture should thicken very quickly, turn down the heat slightly, add the sugar and cook until the custard is quite thick.
  • Switch off the heat and add the chocolate couverture which you have broken into small pieces and whisk until it has melted and a dark brown chocolate custard has formed.
  • Add in the zest and the cognac.
  • Then pour over the custard over the pastry (it can be warm but should not be hot) and allow to cool.
  • Beat the Cool whip or Morfat cream with the icing sugar until white and fluffy. Add in the vanilla essence and the cognac (if using).
  • Cover the cooled custard with the whipped topping and sprinkle with chocolate flakes, truffles or shavings.
  • Cool in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
