These mini baklava cups taste like authentic baklava but are so much simpler! The mini fillo Shells come pre-baked and make the process way easy. I hope this delicious treat becomes a new holiday tradition for you.

Bring these to your Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s party and they will fly off the plate! They are easy to serve and your fingers stay clean.

Baklava cups are completely cute and the flavor is fantastic! They are loaded with a blend of walnuts and pistachios. Feel free to create your own blend with different nuts like pecans, almonds, cashews, peanuts – any nut really! The syrup is made with honey and lemon which cut the sweetness and make these baklava cups perfectly moist and completely irresistible.

You can make these ahead up to 2 weeks and store refrigerated or at room temperature. See the awesome freezing tip at the bottom – it’s GENIUS!!
