Ingredients

For The Filling:

  • 60 grams walnuts
  • 60 grasm flaked almonds
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

For The Baklava's:

  • 6 phyllo pastry sheets

For The Syrup:

  • 85 grams fresh orange juice
  • 115 grams water
  • 120 grams sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick

For The Topping:

  • 200 grams dark chocolate finely chopped or chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • some extra ground nuts

Instructions

For The Filling:

  • Grind nuts in a food processor until you get a coarse crumb. Combine with ground cinnamon and cloves and set aside.

For The Baklava's:

  • Unfreeze phyllo in the fridge overnight. Without removing from its package let phyllo rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before using.
  • Open the phyllo package and remove the phyllo. Lay the phyllo sheets flat open. Take one sheet of phyllo and cover the rest with a tea towel (so it won't air-dry).
  • Cut the phyllo sheet to 4 strips widthwise.
  • Gently brush each phyllo with a bit of olive oil (not too much since it will cover the flavor of the Baklava's).
  • Sprinkle some of the nut filling all over the phyllo's. Gently fold the sides of each strip inwards to secure the filling. Fold to about 1 cm on each side (not all the way through) . Fold the bottom end of each strip and roll upwards.
  • Grease a 29x21 cm / 12x9 inch baking dish with a bit of olive oil and add the Baklavas.
  • Prick each Baklava carefully with a toothpick. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until they get a golden brown color and crispy on top.

For The Syrup:

  • Add all of the ingredients for the syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the syrup over the Baklava's right as they come out of the oven (in order to absorb it all).
  • Let the Baklava's rest until they reach room temperature.

For The Topping:

  • Add chocolate in a coffee mug. Microwave for 30 seconds on medium-low temperature. Stir chocolate and scrape the edges of the cup well. Repeat process until chocolate melts completely. Stir in the vegetable oil. Let the chocolate rest for a minute or two.
  • Dip each Baklava half way through in the melted chocolate. Transfer the chocolate dipped Baklava to a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle with some finely chopped nuts.
  • Once you finished with all the Baklavas, refrigerate until chocolate is firm enough.
