Ingredients
Date jam
Method
1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease four 12cm round or oval pie plates.
2.To make date jam, in a small saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to the boil on medium. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-6 minutes, until thick. Allow to cool.
3.Brush 2 sheets of filo with butter and layer together. Spread 1/4 date jam along the length of the pastry. Shape filo sheets by slowly scrunching short ends towards each other in even folds (like a fan without pleats). Then roll up into a loose spiral, to fit dish. Repeat with remaining filo, butter and jam.
4.Place pie plates on an oven tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until pastry is crisp and slightly golden.
5.Meanwhile, combine cream and milk in a small saucepan. Stir over a medium heat, until almost boiling. Remove from heat.
6.In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and vanilla together. Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly until combined. Pour egg mixture evenly into filo dishes. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
7.Bake for further 10-15 minutes, until firm. Serve dusted with icing sugar. Accompany with cream, if liked.
