KADAIFI ME KREMA (GREEK SHREDDED WHEAT PASTRY WITH CUSTARD)
Kadaifi is a shredded wheat pastry, much used like phyllo, and found next to the phyllo pastry in the freezer/refrigerator section of any well-stocked supermarket. In Greece, Kadaifi is usually filled with a baklava-type filling, often using almonds. This version has a vanilla custard.

- For custard: combine milk and semolina in a heavy pan; blend in beaten eggs and add salt and sugar; place over medium heat and stir constantly until thickened and bubbling; remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla extract and cover top of custard with plastic wrap (directly on surface of custard) to prevent a skin from forming.
- For pastry: place kadaifi in a large bowl and gently separate strands with fingers.
- Grease 13 x 9 inch glass oven dish with some of the.
- butter; put half the kadaifi in the base, pressing it down somewhat to make it compact; drizzle 1/4 cup butter evenly over it; pour custard filling over kadtaifi, spreading it evenly; top with remaining kadaifi; spread evenly and pat down gently; pour remaining melted butter evenly over top.

TORTA KATAIFI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Line the bottom of the springform pan with a layer of the kataifi. Bake until golden brown, 10 minutes. Then cool completely.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- Place the pistachios, cinnamon and cloves in a food processor and process until the nuts are chunky and uniform in size. Do not over process. Reserve half of the nuts for a later use.
- Sprinkle the first half of the nuts over the baked pastry; spread most of the nuts towards the edges of the pan and fade to a light coating in the center of the pan. This will create a nice crust on the back of each piece when the dessert is cut and served.
- In a large mixing bowl mix together the ricotta, cream, sugar and vanilla with a large spoon. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or by hand with a whisk, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture with a spatula or rubber scraper. Pour the mixture into the pan over the nuts. Sprinkle the remaining nuts on top of the ricotta mixture similar to the first time, with most of the nuts on the outer edge and fade to lightly coat the center. Spread the remaining sheet of kataifi on top of the cake, covering the entire surface.
- Bake until golden brown and the cake is set, 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Cool the cake completely.
- Pour the hot Citrus Syrup over the cooled cake, then cut and serve.
- Place the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and orange zest in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the mixture achieves a syrup consistency, 20 minutes.
