These Sweet & Crunchy Pecan Caramel Baklava Cups offer a rich and flavorful dessert option. They feature mini phyllo shells filled with a nutty mixture and topped with caramel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 mini phyllo shells (pre-baked)
  • 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pinch sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the mini phyllo shells on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together chopped pecans, walnuts, pistachios, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Fill each phyllo cup with the nut mixture, pressing lightly so the filling is compact.
  4. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the shells are golden and the nuts are lightly toasted. Let cool.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the caramel: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring just until dissolved. Once boiling, stop stirring and let it caramelize to a deep amber color.
  6. Remove from heat, carefully whisk in butter and cream until smooth. Add sea salt if desired.
  7. Drizzle the warm caramel over the cooled baklava cups. Garnish with extra nuts or flaky salt if desired.
  8. Let the caramel set slightly before serving.

Notes

  • These baklava cups are great for parties or quick desserts.
  • Feel free to customize the nut mixture to your liking.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
