Walnut Almond Baklava

 

The first time I ever heard of Baklava was on the show Bridezilla, in an episode where the bride was frustrated because she was not able to find fresh Baklava. That episode alone intrigued enough to make me want to try the dessert but I did not until our class visit to Artopolis in Astoria. Although pistachio baklava seems to be the most popular, I bought a piece of the walnut almond one because I’m not a fan of pistachios. I admit I was a bit surprised about the sweetness of it. I did not find it extremely sweet although it has a really sweet after taste and I would not eat more than two pieces in a day. The honey drenched filo dough was still a bit grainy very moist. The almonds and walnuts made a great combination and it tasted like a nut mix dipped in honey.The nuts gave it a crunchy texture while the filo dough added a chewy component. It was very tasty overall and I would recommend!
