πŸ›’ Ingredients

  • βœ“ 200g crumbled feta cheese
  • βœ“ 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
  • βœ“ 3 tbsp raw honey
  • βœ“ 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • βœ“ 1 tsp lemon zest
  • βœ“ 6 sheets phyllo dough
  • βœ“ 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • βœ“ 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • βœ“ Pinch of sea salt
  • βœ“ Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • βœ“ 2 tbsp crushed pistachios
  • βœ“ 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds (optional)
  • βœ“ 1 tbsp honey drizzle (extra, for topping)
  • βœ“ Edible flowers or rose petals (optional garnish)

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

1. Prepare the Phyllo Crust: Preheat oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Cut phyllo sheets into rough 5cm shards. Brush a large baking tray lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush. Layer phyllo shards on tray, lightly misting each layer with oil spray or brush. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy. Cool completely on a wire rackβ€”they will crisp further as they cool.
2. Make the Feta Base: In a food processor, combine 200g crumbled feta cheese with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Pulse 15–20 times until feta becomes creamy and mousse-like. Do not overprocess; some texture should remain for authenticity.
3. Whip the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, whisk 1.5 cups Greek yogurt with 3 tbsp raw honey, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until completely smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust honey/lemon to your preference.

4. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped feta into the yogurt mixture using a spatula. Use 8–10 fold strokes to preserve airiness while ensuring no streaks remain. The filling should be light, mousse-like, and pale creamy-beige.
5. Assemble Individual Servings: Divide cooled phyllo shards evenly among 6 serving bowls or small jars (layering). Spoon yogurt-feta mousse equally on top of each phyllo layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
6. Garnish and Finish: Remove from refrigerator 5 minutes before serving. Top each dessert with crushed pistachios, pomegranate seeds, a small drizzle of honey, fresh mint leaves, and optional edible flowers. Serve chilled.
