“baklava has a ton of nuts, it’s practically a protein bar”
Baklava. The most known dessert of Turkey. It is made of different layers of puff pastry, honey & pistachios.
Most people only know one type of baklava, but there are a lot of variations. You have different forms and flavours, let’s take a look at it.
To begin with, you have the traditional layered baklava with honey and pistachios. They are mostly cut in squares, but you can cut them as you like, for example in a diamond form.
Then you also have this green pistachio baklava, which is made of pistachios obviously.
You should definitely try these out when you visit Turkey, or go to a multicultural market if you want to try them immediately!
Most types of baklava contain pistachios, if you don’t like them, you must try our baklava with walnuts. They are delicious!
These delicious looking baklava cups aren’t typical Turkish, but I think they look very cute and would like to try them. They would go nice with çay, which is Turkish tea and is very ften served with baklava on the side.
As a final, this one is definitely going to be your favourite…
Chocolate baklava, yes it exists. You don’t find this one very often, but I’ve tried it one time on a market and it was like heaven.
