Baklava with Fruit Drizzle
Baklava with Fruit Drizzle is a delectable dessert that combines the rich flavors of nuts, honey, and fruit. This dish is perfect for those who love sweet treats with a touch of tanginess. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the Baklava:
- 1 package phyllo dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups chopped mixed nuts (walnuts, pistachios, almonds)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Fruit Drizzle:
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside. Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter.
Lay a sheet of phyllo dough in the baking dish and brush with melted butter. Repeat this process with 7 more sheets of phyllo dough. Sprinkle a layer of the nut mixture over the phyllo dough. Repeat this process with 4 more layers of phyllo dough and nut mixture.
Top the baklava with 8 more sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond shapes.
Bake the baklava for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the baklava is baking, prepare the fruit drizzle. In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the berries break down.
Once the baklava is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the fruit mixture over the baklava and let it cool completely before serving.
This Baklava with Fruit Drizzle is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The crispy layers of phyllo dough and the crunchy nuts create a perfect texture, while the fruit drizzle adds a refreshing touch. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
