Ingredients

• Shredded phyllo dough - 100 grams
• Unsalted butter - 50 grams, melted
• Pistachios - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Erythritol sweetener - 3 tablespoons
• Water - 100 ml
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Rose water - 1 teaspoon (optional)
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a small saucepan, combine water, erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the shredded phyllo dough, mixing until the dough is well-coated.
4. Spread half of the buttered dough evenly in the bottom of a greased baking dish.
5. Sprinkle the finely chopped pistachios evenly over the dough layer.
6. Top with the remaining buttered dough, pressing down gently to compact it.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup evenly over the hot kadayıf.
9. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
