Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 Filo Pastry Sheets
  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup (115g) Melted Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filo Sheets: Carefully unroll your filo pastry and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying. Melt the butter and have it ready for brushing. In a baking dish, layer 6 to 8 filo sheets, brushing each sheet generously with the melted butter to ensure a golden and crisp crust.
  2. Make the Custard Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until completely smooth. Optionally, add a pinch of ground cinnamon to add warmth and subtle spice to the custard.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the custard mixture gently over the layered filo pastry in the baking dish. Then, top with an additional 3 to 4 filo sheets, generously brushing each with melted butter to create a filo-custard-filo sandwich with contrasting textures.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly jiggles in the center. Let the pie cool before slicing.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, cut the pie into wedges. The custard will be creamy while the filo remains crisp, making it a delightful treat sure to impress family and guests.

Notes

  • Keep Filo Covered: Always cover filo pastry with a damp cloth while working to prevent drying out.
  • Brush Butter Generously: Use enough melted butter on every filo layer for optimal crispiness and golden color.
  • Whisk Eggs Thoroughly: Ensure the eggs and condensed milk are fully combined to avoid lumps in the custard.
  • Use a Sharp Knife to Cut: Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing into clean wedges.
  • Prefer Real Vanilla Extract: It enhances the custard’s flavor more than artificial alternatives.
