Preparation

  1. Stack the sheets of phyllo dough on top of each other. Scoop the ice cream onto the center of the dough, then fold the edges of the phyllo over the ice cream into a tight envelope. Transfer to a plate or small baking sheet, seam-side down, and freeze for 5 hours.
  2. Make the rosewater syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, rosewater, and lemon juice. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup thickens slightly, 5–7 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
  3. Fill a large, high-walled skillet halfway with vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil temperature reaches 365°F (185°C).
  4. Remove the baklava ice cream from the freezer and immediately transfer to the hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Transfer the baklava to a serving plate, pour the syrup over the top, and garnish with the pistachios. Serve immediately.
  6. Enjoy!
