Between the melomakarona the other day, and these Mini Baklava Tarts, the country of Greece might as well be my official sponsor for holiday desserts. And if the country of Greece is reading this, and wants to send me back to Mykonos and Santorini, I'd gladly accept. As it turns out, I'll be spending the holidays here in Michigan. Place the almonds, walnuts, apricots, bread crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt in a food processor.
Perfect Baklava tartlets step by step
Pre heat the oven at 180ºC. Prepare the syrup by adding all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bringing it to the boil. Once it reaches boiling point, boil for exactly 3 more minutes and remove from the heat. Let it cool..
In a food processor, add the nuts, sugar, cinnamon powder and clove powder and blitz to chop the nuts some finely and some not so much. In a separate bowl, keep 3 tbsp behind for decoration..
Cut every filo sheet (apart from two) in squares. Each filo sheet will produce 6 squares. From the two filo sheets you left behind cut 24 circles using a round cutter or even a class..
Brush the squares with butter and place two in each muffin space. Add two tbsp of nuts in each tartlet..
Place the filo circles on top of the nuts and add one more tbsp of nuts. Repeat by placing the remaining of the filo circles, closing each tartlet..
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Once they are out of the oven, drizzle some of the syrup in each muffin case and let them cool. Sprinkle the remaining of nuts on top for decoration..
These Mini Baklava Cups are a cute, bite sized dessert with all the flavors of baklava - but without all the work! Lightly prick bottom of pastry crust with the tines of a fork (this will prevent the dough from puffing up as it bakes). Stir in walnuts, a pinch of cinnamon and honey until everything is sticky and combined. Some mixture might ooze out of sides, this is fine. The orange-cranberry combination is perfect! —Ninette Holbrook, Orlando, Florida Baklava Tartlets Coconut Strawberry Phyllo Cones.
