Ingredients
  

Pastry Dough

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (forms the base structure)

• ½ tsp salt (enhances flavors)

• ⅓ cup (80ml) ice water (binds dough gently)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice (keeps crust tender)

Milk Filling

• 2 cups (480ml) whole milk (creamy foundation)

• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar (balances tartness)

• 3 tbsp cornstarch (thickens perfectly)

• 2 large egg yolks (adds richness)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (warm flavor depth)

• Zest of 1 lemon (bright citrus note)

Raspberry Layer

• 1½ cups (180g) fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen berries)

Optional Garnishes

• Powdered sugar (elegant dusting)

    2. Unwrap phyllo dough and work with one sheet at a time. Lightly butter each sheet.

      3. Make loose folds in the buttered sheets and arrange them in a pinwheel pattern starting at the center.

        4. Bake the phyllo shell for 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden. Let cool briefly

          5. Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, cream, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.

            6. Scatter raspberries over baked phyllo. Pour custard evenly over everything.

              7. Place back in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the custard is firm and golden.

                8. Cool for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or mint.

                  Notes

                  • Work with cold puff pastry for the best results when shaping.
                  • Stir the milk mixture constantly to maintain a smooth texture.
                  • Gently pat raspberries dry with paper towels before using.
                  • Position your baking tray in the center of the oven.
                  • Turn the pie 180 degrees during baking for a consistent color.
                  • Let the pie fully set before slicing for clean, even portions.
                  • Add powdered sugar just as you're ready to serve
                  • Use aluminum foil to protect the crust if needed.
                  • Store any remaining pie in the refrigerator.
                  • Warm leftovers in a 300°F oven to restore crispiness
