Ingredients

  • 60g pistachios, crushed
  • 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
  • 2 sheets filo pastry
  • 20g unsalted butter, melted
  • 75ml double cream
  • 75g reduced-fat crème fraîche
  • 1.5 tbsp icing sugar
  • 80g frozen raspberries, defrosted

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6; line a baking tray with baking paper. In a small bowl, combine three-quarters of the pistachios with the brown sugar.

  • Step 2

    Lay out the filo pastry on a clean surface and cut in half to make 4 squares. Working quickly, brush the first square with melted butter and sprinkle with a third of the pistachio and sugar mixture. Top with the next square; repeat twice more, finishing with a piece of filo brushed with butter.

  • Step 3

    Using a sharp knife, cut the layered filo square in half, then cut each half into 3 equal rectangles to get 6 in total. Transfer to the baking tray, place another tray on top and bake for 8-10 mins; cool completely.

  • Step 4

    Meanwhile, combine the cream, crème fraîche, icing sugar and rose water in a mixing bowl; whip until soft peaks form. Fold in the raspberries to create a rippled look.

  • Step 5

    Place a cooled filo rectangle on a plate and spread with a quarter of the rose and berry cream; top with another filo rectangle and a layer of cream, then finish with filo. Repeat on a second plate; sprinkle the remaining pistachios on top.

  • Step 6

    Recipe Tip: Allow extra time for cooling.
