| 1. Preheat oven to 180 celcius (fan-forced). | 2. Defrost kadaifi if frozen and scrunch together gently to loosen strands. It should double in volume and fill a 32 x 40cm baking dish. (Don't worry it shrinks when baking.). | 3. Cut butter into small pieces and dot evenly over the kadaifi. | 4. Bake in oven for around 15 minutes until golden brown. | 5. While pastry is baking prepare the syrup. | 6. Add water and sugar in a small saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Switch off and allow to cool slightly. | 7. When the pastry has also cooled slightly add warm syrup over the entire surface of the pastry using a ladle. Don't add it while the pastry is too hot or it will sizzle and evaporate. | 8. Allow to cool while you prepare the custard. | 9. Heat 1 litre of milk in a large pot. Pour the remaining 500mls in a small bowl and add the custard powder and combine with a whisk until there are no lumps (you can use your hands if you like). | 10. When the milk has warmed up but is not too hot to dip a finger into, pour in the custard powder mixture whisking constantly. | 11. The mixture should thicken very quickly, turn down the heat slightly, add the sugar and cook until the custard is quite thick. | 12. Switch off the heat and add the chocolate couverture which you have broken into small pieces and whisk until it has melted and a dark brown chocolate custard has formed. | 13. Add in the zest and the cognac. | 14. Then pour over the custard over the pastry (it can be warm but should not be hot) and allow to cool. | 15. Beat the Cool whip or Morfat cream with the icing sugar until white and fluffy. Add in the vanilla essence and the cognac (if using). | 16. Cover the cooled custard with the whipped topping and sprinkle with chocolate flakes, truffles or shavings. | 17. Cool in the fridge for a few hours before serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
