Ingredients

Milk 500ml

Double Cream 200ml

Sugar 175g

Semolina 150g

Orange Blossom Water 2tbs

Akawi Cheese 500g

Butter

Filo Pastry 6 large sheets

Icing sugar

Directions

If you are using frozen pastry make sure it is defrosted in advance.

Slice the cheese into 5mm thick slices. Put in a big bowl and under running water for 30 minutes to wash the salt away. Change the water completely every few minutes. The cheese should lose most of its saltiness. Drain.

Heat the oven to 160c.

In a pot add the milk, cream and sugar stir while heating till all the sugar has melted. Add the semolina and orange blossom water. Before boiling point add all the cheese and whisk till all the melted cheese is mixed in. Take of the heat and keep whisking for few minutes till it is smooth and well mixedMelt the butter and brush the base and edges of a 24cm (9inch) springform cake tin. Arrange your Filo pastry sheets so half of it is inside the tin and the rest out side to be fold on top. Make sure the pastry covers the whole tin(photo above right). You need to brush every layer with butter to stick in place.

Tip the cheese mixture. Wrap the Filo sheets on top in a random wrinkled pattern (photo). Again brush with butter.

Bake in the oven for one hour till nice and golden. Let cool down for few hours then put in the fridge over night.

Dust with icing sugar and enjoy

Definition: cheese made from cow's milk that is produced in the Middle East. It can be served alone, or with fruits, dessert recipes, and many other uses. It has a mildly salty flavor, similar to feta. Hope you don't mind I posted this
