Ingredients
Serves 4
4 sheets Antoniou Thick Fillo pastry
1 x 400ml can of coconut milk
3 egg yolks
50g caster sugar
15g corn flour
85g shredded coconut
50g butter, melted
1/3 cup icing sugar
12 mango slices
Method
Before you begin this Filo Pastry recipe, take your fresh Filo Pastry out of the fridge to bring it up to room temperature in its packaging.
To make the custard
Add the coconut milk to a heavy bottomed saucepan and heat on a medium until it comes to a simmer.
Meanwhile, whisk the yolks, corn flour and sugar (using a hand whisk) until well combined.
Take one ladleful of the warm coconut milk and add it to the egg mixture and continue to whisk, ensuring everything is mixed well. Repeat with two more ladlefuls of coconut milk. Add this back to the pot with the coconut milk and continue to whisk on a medium heat for approximately 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes thick.
Once the custard has thickened, take it off the heat, pour it into a clean bowl, add 60 grams of the shredded coconut and mix well. Allow to cool. Once cooled, cover it with a plastic wrap and refrigerate it until needed.
Preparing the Pastry
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a large oven tray with baking paper.
Take one sheet of Filo pastry, brush liberally with butter, sprinkle with icing sugar and a sprinkling of shredded coconut. Top with another sheet of Pastry. Continue layering with remaining Pastry, butter, sugar and coconut (do not sprinkle sugar or coconut on the top layer).
Cut pastry into 3 strips lengthways and then crossways to form a total of 12 rectangles. Place on oven tray and cook in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Assembling the mille feuille
To assemble, place one Pastry rectangle on a plate. Spread with ¼ cup of coconut custard and lay two mango slices on top of the custard. Layer another Pastry rectangle on top, repeat with the coconut custard and mango and finish off with another Pastry rectangle.
Dust liberally with icing sugar and repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a total of 4 mille feuille.
Serve immediately.
