Description

Welcome to this delightful recipe for Pecan Pistachio Baklava Cups! If you’re looking for a sweet, nutty, and crunchy treat that’s simple to make yet absolutely decadent, you’ve come to the right place. These mini desserts are perfect for any gathering or special occasion, combining the rich flavors of pecans and pistachios with the light, flaky texture of phyllo pastry. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 12 mini phyllo shells
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar syrup (optional for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine the finely chopped pecans, pistachios, honey, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir until the nuts are evenly coated with the honey and cinnamon mixture.
  3. Brush each mini phyllo shell with melted butter to give it a rich, golden finish after baking.
  4. Spoon the pecan-pistachio mixture into each phyllo shell, filling them generously for that satisfying crunch.
  5. Bake the filled phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shells are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Optional step: Drizzle with sugar syrup for an extra hit of sweetness if you desire.
  7. Cool slightly before serving. Your Pecan Pistachio Baklava Cups are ready to enjoy!

For best results, keep an eye on the phyllo cups while they bake to avoid burning. Once they’re golden and crispy, they’re perfect!

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh nuts: Stale or old nuts can taste bitter and take away from the flavor of the dish. Always check the freshness of your pecans and pistachios.
  • Phyllo shells: Store-bought phyllo shells save time, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your own by layering phyllo dough and cutting it into small squares.
  • Syrup sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter baklava, go ahead and drizzle with sugar syrup. Otherwise, the honey in the filling will provide enough sweetness.
