This well-known Greek dessert is made with shredded phyllo dough, vanilla custard, and whipped cream. It’s a comforting dessert that is great for children and adults. It was very popular at our Greek restaurant and is equally as popular at home!
9 x 13 pan - Serves 24
INGREDIENTS
½ box of Kataifi Phyllo (16 oz) (this brand is already shredded)
2 sticks of unsalted butter, thinly sliced
Remove the excess butter
Syrup
3 cups of water
2 cups of sugar
Lemon Peel
1 - cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
Vanilla Pudding
3 boxes (3.4 oz) of instant vanilla pudding
2 cups of Heavy Cream
4 cups cold whole milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Whipped Cream
2 cups heavy cream
¼ tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp powdered sugar
Cinnamon garnish
toasted almonds for garnish
PREPARE THE PHYLLO
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Take half of the shredded phyllo and pull it apart and place the strands in the bottom of the 9x13 pan so it completely covers the bottom. Make sure the layer is as even as possible.
Place the sliced butter squares over the top of the phyllo so it is completely covered. Bake it in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the phyllo is completely golden brown.
While it’s baking, make the syrup by combining the water, sugar, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a low simmer and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Strain out the cinnamon stick, cloves, and lemon peel, and let the sugar cool until the phyllo has baked.
When the phyllo has completely baked, very carefully tip the baking dish to one side in the sink, or into a heatproof bowl, and drain out any excess butter.
Let the phyllo cool for at least 2 hours - I recommend overnight - then rewarm the syrup and pour carefully over the phyllo. Place the dish in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and allow the syrup to absorb overnight.
COMPLETE THE EKMEK
To complete the Ekmek, prepare the vanilla pudding by adding the packaged mix, heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mixing it with a hand mixer until it’s ready. Then, spread it evenly on top of the phyllo base. Place the dish in the refrigerator for a few minutes while you make the whipped cream.
Next, make the whipped cream by adding the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl and whipping it with a hand mixer until it holds stiff peaks. Spread this evenly top of the vanilla pudding.
Top the whipped cream with a generous sprinkled of ground cinnamon and toasted almonds. Serve!

    I made this dessert for my grandson who is also allergic to all tree nuts. So, I made it with cheesecake instead of the pudding. And he had never had anything like this before and he absolutely loved it. He’s 17 yrs old and has many, many allergies mostly food, and I was so glad that I was able to make this for him. I had a Greek neighbor who always made us such nice food and desserts for myself and for my children. I absolutely love Greek food and their desserts.❤❤

    @@greekxstitcher5379 it's actually from Central Asia where Turks are originally from. Ekmek means bread in Turkish and they used to dip caramel sauce into left over or dried up bread as a dessert. As for the stringy pastry, it's Asian but the way this kadayif is made is the Turkish way. It's called kadayif due to Turks attempting to describe to non Turks that it should feel velvety. The word kadayif derives from the word kadife meaning velvet. It's an Arab word but Turks use this word they don't use the Turkish word for velvet for 1000 years now due to being Muslim and willingly incorporating Arabic words into the Turkish language.

    Ekmek regime is not common among Turks because they learned about ekmek later. Only Turks who came to Anatolia call in ekmek Azerbaijani Turks call in corek like Armenians, Central Asian Turks call it nan like Iranians, pita comes from the Greeks.

    Kadayif is a word of Arabic origin, and the Turkish dictionary confirms this. Nothing came from Central Asia to Mesopotamia, the Balkans and Anatolia. There is no sweet culture in Central Asia. The Persian Empire was the first to dominate Anatolia and brought sugar and many vegetables from India. Sugar is Persian and originally Sakara comes from Sanskrit.

    My kataifi burned. It wasn’t even 40 min. I stopped the timer at 35min just to check it. I had to start over. At 25 min I took it out. The perimeters were darker than the middle. But if I leave it any longer the perimeters may burn. Not sure what happened? 🤷🏻‍♀️maybe oven too strong? I followed all directions. Oven temp at 375.

    Seriously? Ekmek means bread in “Turkish”, ekmek kadayıfı is a Turkish desert which is made with bread-like-cake rather than kadayif. How come it’s a Greek desert?

    Ekmek is a dish from the Ottoman empire, which included many countries (such as Greece) and in Greek it is called ekmek kataifi.
