Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Make the syrup: boil the sugar, honey, water and citrus juice, stirring until dissolved. Take off the heat and cool completely.
3. Make the ganache: put the chocolate in a bowl, pour over the cream heated until just boiling, add vanilla and whisk until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
4. Keep the phyllo covered with a lightly damp towel. Lay one sheet short side towards you, brush lightly with melted butter, then fold in half from bottom to top.
5. Place a skewer or straw along the bottom edge, roll the sheet up around it leaving about 1 inch free at the top. Gently push both ends toward the centre to ruffle, then pull out the skewer.
6. Join the ends into a ring, press lightly to seal, and place on the lined sheet.
7. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, then brush all the rings generously with melted butter.
8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and crisp.
9. Straight from the oven, spoon the cooled syrup over the hot pastries. Let them cool completely.
10. Fill the centres with the ganache or your chosen filling, garnish with chopped pistachios and serve.
