Custard Filled Mini Phyllo Cups

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/3 cup semolina, farina or Cream of Wheat
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• A pinch of salt
• 2/3 cup sugar, divided
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 packages mini phyllo (fillo) shells (15 per pack)
• 1/2 to 3/4 cups walnuts toasted in a 350F oven for 5 minutes and then chopped
• Honey for drizzling

1. Whisk the semolina, cornstarch, 1/3 cup of the sugar and the pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside
2. In a medium sauce pan begin slowly heating the milk to boiling. While watching the milk, beat the eggs with an electric mixer , add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and continue beating until fluffy.
3. Once the milk comes up to the boil, whisk in the semolina mixture and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and just starts to boil again. Take off the heat and let rest for about 2 minutes.
