These Easy Pistachio Honey Baklava Rolls are a modern twist on the classic baklava, featuring crispy filo dough filled with a rich pistachio mixture and drenched in a sweet honey syrup. A quick and delicious dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

For the Baklava Rolls:

  • 1 package filo dough (about 16 sheets), thawed

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 1/2 cups pistachios, shelled and finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Honey Syrup:

  • 1 cup honey

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.

  • Brush a sheet of filo dough with melted butter, then place another sheet on top. Repeat this process until you have 4 sheets of filo dough layered and buttered.

  • Sprinkle a small amount of the pistachio mixture evenly across the filo dough.

  • Carefully roll the filo dough up into a tight log, brushing each layer with butter as you go.

  • Slice the rolled filo dough into 2-inch pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Repeat the process until all of the filo dough and pistachio mixture are used up.

  • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.

  • While the baklava rolls are baking, make the syrup by combining the honey, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Once the rolls are out of the oven, pour the warm syrup over them, ensuring they’re fully coated.

  • Allow the rolls to cool and absorb the syrup for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can add walnuts or almonds to the pistachio filling for a different flavor.

  • Drizzle extra honey on top of the cooled rolls for added indulgence.

  • Add a hint of orange blossom water to the syrup for a floral twist.

  • Store the baklava rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
