Buttery. Custardy. Deeply comforting—this is dessert, perfected for real life. Born from the spirit of French clafoutis and Greek kataifi, this cake turns humble phyllo dough into a golden, crinkled masterpiece. The magic? Bunching the paper-thin sheets by hand—no precise folds needed—creating pockets that hold honeyed pears, melted brie, and a cloud-like custard. Bake it in one dish, serve it warm with coffee, and watch it vanish before the last crumb is gone.
✨ Best of all? Naturally impressive yet effortless, make-ahead friendly, and endlessly adaptable.
“Crumple, pour, and share sunshine.”
