I came across this dessert when I went to one of my friends iftar years ago when Ramadan used to be in summer.

After iftar we had iftar and sat in living room sipping Arabic coffee.

And our later my friend Ali which was the host walked in carrying a tray of bowls of baked phyllo dough with an ice cream scoop in it.

I was truly captivated by this piece of art.

a honey nut ice cream served on bowl of phyllo dough.

In other word baklava ice cream, smooth nutty rich ice cream with flaky airy phyllo dough.

The complex of flavors and texture was quite exquisite.

this recipe was inspired by my friend Ali creation.
