Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Step 2

Using a 25 cm cake pan, use it as a guideline to cut out the phyllo dough.

Step 3

Brush a thin layer of butter onto the base of the cake pan and layer your first phyllo sheet. Brush and lightly dab with butter, making sure not to add too much. Add the second layer and repeat until you have reached half the amount of your phyllo sheets.

Step 4

Now sprinkle in all the crushed pistachios and continue layering with the remaining half using the same method we did previously

Step 5

Using a sharp knife, gently mark 16 slices, not cutting all the way through

Step 6

Bake the baklawa for 40 minutes until evenly golden and crispy

Step 7

Take out and drizzle the cup of the sugar syrup over the top. Be careful, it will sizzle. Set aside for at least 20 minutes before serving

Step 8

To serve, spoon ashta ice-cream into the center of the sliced baklawa and serve immediately. If you have a sweet tooth, you can drizzle more syrup over the top.

Step 9

In a tray, break apart any remaining phyllo scraps and mix in all the remaining butter. Season with whatever seasoning you like. It can be cinnamon sugar, parmesan and herbs, the options are endless. Bake alongside the baklawa, taking out of the oven once golden, about 20 minutes.
