Baklava with Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS

• 200g butter
• 500g phyllo dough
• 100g crushed pistachios

For the Syrup:

• 250g sugar
• 150g water
• 15g lemon juice
• 5g orange blossom water

For the Ice Cream:

• 1 liter vanilla ice cream.

METHOD

For the Syrup:

1. Place all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan and heat until it boils for only 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

For the Ice Cream:

1. Place it in a mold or a ring with a diameter of 18cm, lined with plastic wrap, and freeze.

For the Final Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave.
3. Unwrap the phyllo dough and cut it to the same size as the pan. I used an 18cm diameter pan, similar to the ice cream mold.
4. Start layering the phyllo dough, brushing melted butter between each layer. Place 10 layers at the bottom, then sprinkle crushed pistachios, and continue with 15 more layers on top. Finally, increase the amount of butter on the top layer to give the baklava a golden color. Cut it into 8 pieces, as shown in the video.
5. Place it in the oven on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes.
6. After removing it from the oven, immediately pour the syrup over it (the syrup should be at room temperature), and let the baklava cool completely at room temperature. Then remove the top layer of the baklava, add the ice cream from the mold, and place the baklava on top. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and rose petals, and enjoy!
