WOW, this is really simple. I've never had a problem making phyllo go stale, even when I didn't want to. I made only 2 servings and that's a good thing because I'd have the entire recipe eaten before dinner. I'm so weak!. Anyway, this is utterly delicious and just what you need to put a big smile on your face. I put the nuts in a clean pillow case corner and pounded like mad which is great if you need to work out a bit of temper or just don't feel like making nut butter in the processor. The baked outcome is rich, decadent and at my age honestly better than sex. I did skip the ice cream but only because I didn't feel like making it or driving to the city to buy it. Thank you Cadie for another wonderful recipe. Made for: Autumn NA/ME Tag - Sep, Oct, Nov 2013
