Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2
Prepare the nut mixture

In a food processor, pulse the walnuts and hazelnuts until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.

3
Melt the chocolate

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth.

4
Combine the nuts and chocolate

Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl with the chopped nuts and mix well.

5
Melt the butter

Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave.

6
Assemble the baklava

Lay a sheet of phyllo dough in the greased baking dish and brush with melted butter. Repeat this process with half of the phyllo sheets, brushing each sheet with butter.

7
Add the nut mixture

Spread the chocolate-nut mixture evenly over the layered phyllo sheets.

8
Top with remaining phyllo

Continue layering the remaining phyllo sheets on top of the nut mixture, brushing each sheet with melted butter.

9
Cut the baklava

Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond-shaped pieces, making sure to cut through all the layers.

10
Bake the baklava

Bake the baklava in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

11
Prepare the syrup

While the baklava is baking, combine the sugar, water, honey, cinnamon stick, and lemon (cut in half) in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and lemon.

12
Pour the syrup over the baklava

Remove the baklava from the oven and immediately pour the hot syrup evenly over the top. Allow the baklava to cool completely at room temperature for several hours or overnight.

13
Serve and enjoy

Once cooled, serve the Chocolate Baklava with Walnuts and Hazelnuts, and enjoy this indulgent Balkan dessert!
