This dessert turns shredded phyllo pastry into small nests filled with Antep pistachios and walnuts, then cooks them in an air fryer. It is an individual take on traditional tray-baked kadayif. Pouring cold syrup over the hot nests helps preserve their crispness.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the syrup

10 min

Bring the sugar and water to a boil and add the lemon juice. Boil for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and let it cool completely.

2

Prepare the pastry

10 min

Pull the shredded phyllo pastry apart by hand and knead it thoroughly with the melted butter.

3

Shape the nests

10 min

Shape the pastry into six small nests and fill their centers with pistachios and walnuts.

4

Air fry

20 min

Arrange the nests in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C / 355°F for 20 minutes, until golden on top. If you do not have an air fryer, bake them for the same amount of time in a preheated 180°C / 355°F oven. Drizzle the cold syrup over the hot nests.

Reminder

If you do not have an air fryer, bake the nests for the same amount of time in a preheated 180°C / 355°F oven. Contains wheat (gluten), dairy, pistachios, and walnuts.

Airfryer'ım küçük olduğu için 6 yuvayı iki seansta pişirdim, ikinci seans biraz daha hızlı, 16 dakikada altın rengi aldı. Kalan kadayıf ipliklerimi değerlendirmek için gerçekten pratik bir tarif oldu.
