Best Bakla Squares And Ice Cream Recipes

BAKLAVA SQUARES WITH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay down a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and then put your first layer of phyllo dough down on it. Brush the phyllo with a little butter and then sprinkle about one-third of the walnuts. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and then sprinkle 1/3 C over the walnuts. Repeat the phyllo, butter, sugar-cinnamon and walnut steps two more times, finishing with the fourth sheet of phyllo.
• Cut the pastry into 3 inch squares with a sharp knife. Cover the pastry with another sheet of parchment and another cookie sheet.
• Bake for about 18-23 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve while warm with the ice cream and a drizzle of honey.

WARM APPLES AND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat a medium skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Peel and quarter the apples. Core each quarter. Slice the apples up. Add butter to the skillet, then apples. Saute 7 or 8 minutes, add sugar, cinnamon and cloves and cook 2 minutes more. Spoon the sauteed apples into dessert dishes and top with ice cream, whipped cream, and garnish with grated nutmeg.

SIMPLE BAKLAVA

Steps:

• Special equipment: 2 mini-muffin tins
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the almonds, walnuts, apricots, bread crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt in a food processor. Run the machine until the mixture is very finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the honey and stir to combine.
• On a dry work surface place 1 sheet of phyllo. Using a pastry brush and the remaining melted butter, lightly cover the entire sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Cover the first sheet with a second sheet of phyllo and brush with melted butter. Continue until there is a stack of 6 sheets of phyllo. Cut the stacked phyllo rectangle into 12 equal pieces (Cut lengthwise into 4 pieces and widthwise into 3 pieces.)
• Gently press each cut piece of phyllo into the mini-muffin tin cups. Press 1 tablespoon of the nut mixture into each of the phyllo cups. Gather the ends of each of the phyllo squares and twist to make a sachet shape. Continue shaping the remaining sachets in the other mini-muffin tin. Bake until the edges of the phyllo are golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the baklava sachets and transfer to a serving plate.
