Ingredients

Scale

Filo Pastry Base

  • Filo pastry sheets (about 10-12 sheets)
  • Butter, melted (at least 1 cup or 225g)

Custard Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz / 395g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnish

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended to form the creamy custard base.
  2. Butter the Filo Sheets: Carefully lay out the filo sheets and brush each sheet generously with melted butter to keep layers separate and crisp once baked.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Place a few buttered filo sheets overlapping in your baking dish to form the base. Pour half of the custard mixture over the filo. Add more filo layers on top, brushing each layer with melted butter, then pour the remaining custard over them. Finish with a final layer of buttered filo sheets.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the filo is golden brown and the custard is mostly set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Watch carefully to avoid overbaking.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely so the custard firms up and slicing is easier. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Handle filo gently and cover unused sheets with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
  • Use plenty of melted butter on each filo sheet to achieve crispiness and flavor.
  • Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing for a smoother custard.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep the custard creamy and prevent dryness.
  • Let the pie cool fully to enhance flavor and ease slicing.
  • For burnt filo before custard sets, cover loosely with foil during baking.
