Instructions
- 1
Crumble the kadayif and toss it with melted butter until every strand is coated.
- 2
Press the kadayif into cup molds, keeping the base from becoming too thick.
- 3
Bake the molds in a 180°C oven for 15 minutes until browned.
15 min15:00 - 4
Whisk the cheese cream for 2 minutes and fill the warm kadayif cups.
2 min02:00 - 5
Add the pistachios and syrup just before serving so the kadayif does not lose its crispness.
💡 Tip: Press the kadayif firmly into the molds; if it is loose, it falls apart during baking and will not hold a cup shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot as soon as the cups come out of the oven.
