Ingredients

  • 400g phyllo dough
  • 1 cup melted butter
  • 2 cans condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup pistachio butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Melted dark chocolate (for decoration)
  • Chopped pistachios (for decoration)
  • Icing sugar (for decoration)

Directions

  1. Prepare the Phyllo Dough: Gently fold the phyllo dough into squares or strips and arrange them in a 9x12 baking dish. Tuck the edges in neatly. Brush the melted butter evenly over the phyllo dough.
  2. Bake the Phyllo Dough: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown.
  3. Make the Filling: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the condensed milk, pistachio butter, vanilla extract, tahini, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Cake: Pour the smooth filling over the hot, baked phyllo dough. Spread it evenly and let it sit at room temperature until it cools and sets.
  5. Decorate: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle melted dark chocolate on top, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios and a dusting of icing sugar.
  6. Chill (Optional): For the best results, refrigerate the cake for a few hours before serving. It can be made in advance and stored in the fridge.
