Baklava consists of filo pastry layers, generously filled with chopped nuts and soaked in syrup or honey, making it a richly sweet dessert. This delightful treat spans cultures from the Balkans to the Middle East, with each region offering its own twist.

Added some margarine instead of butter, turned out great. One of my new favourite desserts!

Can I use coconut sugar ?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 18, 2024, 4:51 p.m.

Hey Yali, you can use coconut sugar if you'd like but it'll give the syrup a darker colour and a slightly caramel-like flavour 🙂

Yali - Oct. 21, 2024, 10:50 a.m.

Thank you ☺️ do you have any recommendations for refined sugar alternative?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 21, 2024, 1:51 p.m.

Hey Yali, we imagine coconut sugar would work the best, but you could also try syrups like maple syrup if you'd like 🙂

Yali - Oct. 28, 2024, 4:41 p.m.

I made this with pure maple syrup, and it has worked out perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing ♥️

Amazing. Trully.

hey! where did you buy the filo doing? its not the same as puff pastry, is it?

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 26, 2024, 7:50 p.m.

Hi Yara! Filo dough is different from puff pastry - it's much thinner and used for layering. You can usually find it in the freezer section of most grocery stores, near the pastry items. We get ours from our local grocery store called Albert Heijn 😊

Astonishingly good


Rebecca Grabarchuk - May 31, 2024, 12:29 a.m.

Any idea for walnut substitutions? I’m allergic but would love to try this! 😍

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 31, 2024, 3:18 p.m.

Hi Rebecca, you can substitute walnuts with almonds or pecans for a similar texture and flavour. Hope you enjoy the baklava 🙂

Delicious and easy to make!!


Manuela Suciu - April 21, 2024, 7:02 p.m.

My God, what a hit! 😍 I think I ate more than I should have, but it was too good to stop 🥲
PS: I swapped butter for melted coconut oil and it worked perfectly.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 22, 2024, 7:51 p.m.

Yayy so happy you enjoyed it, Manuela, and thanks for the insight on swapping for butter!


Magalie Harnois - April 15, 2024, 7:33 p.m.

Can you use Maple syrup instead. Look yummy

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 16, 2024, 10:26 p.m.

Hey Magalie, we haven't tried but you could! We are not sure about the ratio, but found that maple syrup is sweeter than our homemade syrup so maybe just start with less and add more to taste. Just make sure, that the baked baklava is well coated in syrup 😊


Constance - April 13, 2024, 6:05 p.m.

Just delicious 💖 By accident I used salted pistachios, but that was no problem at all…the syrup did a great job so we couldn’t taste any salt. Could also impress the neighbours with this lovely sweets!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 14, 2024, 1:07 a.m.

Hey Constance, aw thanks for sharing your experience with the baklava! So glad it was enjoyed 😊


sara - April 12, 2024, 12:07 p.m.

Oh wow this tasted just like how my mom makes it! I made it for my in-laws and they loved it!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 13, 2024, 4:14 a.m.

How incredible to hear, Sara! Love when recipes are homey 🥰


Malou Hollsten - April 10, 2024, 4:53 a.m.

It sounds delicious, will definitely try 🤩 it’s not gluten free though, right?

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 10, 2024, 7:13 a.m.

Hey Malou, we hope you love it! Indeed the baklava isn't gluten-free because of the filo pastry sheets 😊
