Steps:
- For the brownie batter:.
- Melt the butter and chocolate squares in a double boiler, stirring every 30 seconds, until completely melted. Let cool slightly before stirring in the sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined. Sift in the flour and cinnamon and mix. Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 chopped pistachios. Set brownie batter aside.
- For the brownie batter:.
- In a large bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate together over a low heat, stirring constantly until melted.
- Take off the heat and stir in the sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the flour, salt, cinnamon, walnuts and 1/2 a cup of the pistachios.
- For assembly:.
- Unroll the phyllo dough out on a work surface. Place a 9-inch spring form cake pan on the center of the pastry. Use a sharp knife to cut all the way around the cake tin to make circle-shaped pieces of dough. Keep the phyllo covered with a damp cloth while you are assembling the baklava.
- Brush the base and sides of the springform pan with melted butter. Place one circle of phyllo dough at the bottom of the cake pan. Brush with melted butter. Repeat this so you have a total of 7 layers of phyllo in the cake pan, each layer having been brushed with butter.
- Spread half of the brownie batter evenly over the phyllo dough in the cake pan.
- Layer 7 more sheets of phyllo dough over the brownie batter, brushing each with a layer of butter before laying on the next.
- Spread the remaining brownie batter over the phyllo.
- Top this with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with melted butter before laying on the next. This will be quite a thick section of phyllo layers!
- Chill the whole thing for 2 hours, so the brownie batter has firmed up which will make it easier to cut.
- Once it has been chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the unbaked baklava into the chevron star pattern (as shown in the video) going all the way through the top layers of phyllo.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center of the brownie, comes out with some moist crumbs and a bit of batter clinging to it (it shouldn't be completely gooey in the middle, but it also shouldn't be completely cooked through or the brownie will be dry).
- Remove from the oven and pour the honey over the top of the brownie. Top with the remaining chopped pistachios.
- Let cool completely, for 2-3 hours, before removing from the spring form pan and cutting into pieces.

BAKLAVA BLONDIES
I love baklava and I love blondies...so here they are combined into one dessert, stealing the chewy, cakey texture from a blondie and infusing it with the nutty texture and honey-heavy flavor of baklava. They come together so easily and they last for a good few days in the fridge (I can't resist a cold chewy blondie)!

Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper so that it has 2 inches of overhang on 2 sides of the pan.
- To make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, honey, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Whisk together for 1 minute until smooth. Add the egg and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Fold in the nuts, scrape into the prepared baking dish and bake until puffed and golden brown on the edges but still light in the center, 28 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan to room temperature.
- Remove the blondie from the pan and spread the Frosting on top in a swirly layer. Garnish with chopped pistachios and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the frosting to get firm for nice slicing. Slice into diamond-shaped bars and serve.
- To prepare the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), cream together the butter and honey until light and creamy, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice and salt, then whip for 2 to 3 minutes or until pale and fluffy.
CHOCOLATE BROWNIE BAKLAVA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 13-inch pan.
- Place the softened butter in a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, and whisk until it is pale yellow and light. Add the sugar and whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy. Whisk in the cooled chocolate, then add the eggs 1 at a time, whisking after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla and liqueur, sift in the flour, cocoa, and salt and fold them in until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly, and bake in the center of the oven until the brownies have puffed slightly around the edges and are shiny on the surface, about 30 minutes. They will be very moist in the center. Allow the brownies to cool 4 to 6 hours, but overnight is best.
- When you are ready to make the baklava, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush the fillo sheets with clarified butter and stack them. Cut fillo sheets into 4 (6-inch) squares. Brush one side of the 4 squares with some caramel sauce and sprinkle with half of the chopped pecans. Cut the brownies into 3-inch squares (reserve remaining brownies for another purpose) and place one on each fillo square. Fold fillo sheets around the brownies like an envelope, brush them with clarified butter, and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake until they are golden brown, about 4 or 5 minutes.
- Carefully place them on plate with a scoop of ice cream. Cover in caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and pecans and enjoy.
BAKLAVA
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the cinnamon stick and whole allspice into a spice grinder and grind.
- Place the almonds, walnuts, pistachios, sugar and freshly ground spices into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, but not pasty or powdery, approximately 15 quick pulses. Set aside.
- Combine the water and rose water in a small spritz bottle and set aside.
- Trim the sheets of phyllo to fit the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch metal pan. Brush the bottom and sides of the pan with butter; lay down a sheet of phyllo and brush with butter. Repeat this step 9 more times for a total of 10 sheets of phyllo. Top with 1/3 of the nut mixture and spread thinly. Spritz thoroughly with the rose water. Layer 6 more sheets of phyllo with butter in between each of them, followed by another third of the nuts and spritz with rose water. Repeat with another 6 sheets of phyllo, butter, remaining nuts, and rose water. Top with 8 sheets of phyllo brushing with butter in between each sheet. Brush the top generously with butter. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and cut into 28 squares. Return pan to the oven and continue to bake for another 30 minutes. Remove pan from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and cool for 2 hours before adding the syrup.
- Make the syrup during the last 30 minutes of cooling. Combine the honey, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and orange peel in a 4-quart saucepan and set over high heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Once boiling, boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and discard the orange peel and cinnamon stick.
- After the baklava has cooled for 2 hours, re-cut the entire pan following the same lines as before. Pour the hot syrup evenly over the top of the baklava, allowing it to run into the cuts and around the edges of the pan. Allow the pan to sit, uncovered until completely cool. Cover and store at room temperature for at least 8 hours and up to overnight before serving. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- In a small sauce pan, bring the milk to a boil. Stir in the farina and cook 5 minutes, stirring often. Take off the heat and stir in the nuts, 1/4 cup of the butter and sugar. Set aside to cool. Butter the bottom of a walled 8 by 8-inch square pan. Cut the phyllo sheets in half, to fit the pan. Lay 2 sheets in the pan then brush with some remaining melted butter, coating the phyllo completely. Repeat 6 more times, making a layer 12 sheets thick. Spread the nut filling evenly over the phyllo then cover with 12 more sheets, buttering every other sheet. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife cut the phyllo in 1 1/2-inch diamond shapes. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for 20 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and spoon any leftover melted butter over the top of the phyllo. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue baking until deep golden, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Tilt the pan to allow the butter to drain to one side. Remove 1 piece of baklava and let sit tilted 30 minutes. Spoon out excess butter.
- Run a sharp knife along the baklava's score lines to loosen. Heat the bottom of the baklava up on a griddle or move it over a gas burner. Ladle the hot syrup over the cut lines of the baklava and shake the tray to loosen the pieces. It may sizzle slightly. Drizzle a bit of syrup over the top. You can drain it again, letting it tilt for 2 hours. Then let it sit overnight.
- Combine all the syrup ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer then for 10 minutes.
