Ekmek Kataifi is a delicious Greek dessert made from shredded phyllo dough soaked in sweet syrup. The dessert features a base of kataifi, which is crispy and golden on the outside, yet soft and syrup-soaked inside. It’s typically topped with a creamy custard or a layer of whipped cream and garnished with crushed nuts, such as pistachios or walnuts.
