Ingredients
Instructions
PREPARE THE PISTACHIO FILLING
Start by finely chopping the pistachios if they are not pre-chopped. Place the pistachios in a small bowl. Drizzle the honey over them, mixing well to coat the nuts evenly. Stir in the crushed baklava pieces to add a subtle crunch and additional flavor. Set aside for assembly.
Tip: Use room-temperature honey for easier mixing and crush baklava pieces finely for a smoother texture.
PREPARE THE PHYLLO PASTRY CUPS
Place the phyllo pastry cups on a clean baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use a pastry brush to coat the insides of each cup with melted butter lightly. This adds flavor and ensures a golden-brown finish during baking.
Tip: Avoid over-brushing with butter, as too much can make the pastry soggy.
FILL THE CUPS
Spoon the prepared pistachio and honey mixture into each phyllo cup. Fill them generously but ensure the filling does not overflow to maintain a tidy appearance and even baking.
Tip: Press the mixture gently into the cups for a compact fit, ensuring even distribution and preventing spillage.
BAKE THE CUPS
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Once the oven is hot, place the baking tray with the filled phyllo cups in the center rack. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the edges of the phyllo cups are lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Tip: Keep an eye on the cups while baking, as phyllo can burn quickly if left unattended.
SERVE THE BAKLAVA CUPS
Arrange the baked pistachio honey baklava cups on a serving platter. Drizzle a small amount of additional honey over the top of each cup for an extra touch of sweetness and garnish with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios. Serve immediately while still warm for the best flavor and texture
Tip: Pair with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a delightful dessert experience.
