Nutella Baklava
Baklava is a popular treat this time of year, but we love this variation using Nutella, almonds, and pistachios wrapped in a crispy phyllo crust. You could easily make this recipe into bite-size desserts by layering the filling in our Athen’s Mini Phyllo Shells (#1816).
Can this be made ahead of time?
It sure can! In fact, since this recipe has to set for at least 4 hours to overnight, it is best prepared ahead of time. Simply prepare, cool, and wrap in plastic wrap (#6127). It can be frozen for up to 2 months, then thawed as desired.
