instructions
Custard
- Mix the agave syrup, liquid sweetener, yolks, cornstarch, and salt in a heatproof bowl.
- In a saucepan, mix the milk, yoghurt, and vanilla extract on medium heat until hot.
- While whisking, slowly stream about half of the hot milk/yoghurt liquid in the yolk mixture. Pour this tempered yolk mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the milk/yoghurt mixture. Cook over medium-low heat for 4 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until bubbling and thickened like pudding.
- Turn off the heat, mix in the butter. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding any clumps caught in the sieve. Cover the pastry cream with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cold.
Phyllo Pastry
- Defrost the phyllo pastry. Put a damp tea towel on it so it doesn't dry out.
- Melt the butter. Take one sheet of phyllo pastry, carefully spread it with butter, place another sheet on top and repeat the process till you have layered 5 sheets.
- Create 4 of these layered phyllo pastries.
Toppings
- Preheat the oven at 220°C.
- Put the custard in the center of the sheet. Layer strawberries on top of it. Close the phyllo pastry.
- Place them on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes or till golden.
- Finish it with agave syrup and pistachio.
