You guys…. just look at these little cuties!!! I am so excited to share them with you today! These Creamy Baklava Bites are delicious, easy and oh so addictive. 

They are one of our favorite hand held treats that we love to bake and bring to all the holiday gatherings. I love baklava alone, but I wanted to switch it up a little.

And let me tell you, not only is this easier than your typical Baklava they might taste even better…might, baklava is amazing so it’s hard to top the real deal.

Some of my other favorite nut based desserts on my site include Mixed Nuts Double Chocolate Bark, Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs and Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pecans.

Why this recipe works:

  • With only  6 ingredients this recipe is easy to whip up.
  • It makes a large batch that you can easily halve if you want to.
  • The flavors together work well and create a creamy and crunchy texture.

I just love it when a recipe I have concocted in my head comes out even better than I expected! That’s exactly what happened with these Creamy Baklava Bites!

Now, obviously, this is not a traditional baklava recipe. It is far from it, there is nothing creamy about traditional baklava but the flavors in this treat just work!

I love reinventing traditional flavors if you haven’t been able to tell that already! It’s kind of sorta my thing so don’t expect me to stop anytime soon!

We go crazy for honey in this house and then baklava jumped in my head. I just had to make these! Are you a honey fan? I love honey when it is mixed into recipes but on its own, I’m not that crazy about it.

But, Jeremy can’t eat a biscuit without it! You want to make sure the pecans are hot but still a touch warm so they are easily spoonable onto the fillo cups.

How to make Creamy Baklava Cups:

  1. Place phyllo cups on a sheet tray, set aside.
  2. Using a whisk or hand mixer, whisk heavy cream and the pudding powder together to form stiff peaks.
  3. Pipe into the fillo cups evenly. Place in fridge for one hour.
  4. While the cups are in the fridge, make the pecan mixture.
  5. Place remaining ingredients into a small sauce pot and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6. Lower heat to medium low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until half of the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Take off the heat, allow to cool.
  8. Evenly distribute the pecan mixture on top of the fillo cups. Serve and enjoy!

Can you see how super easy this is compared to regular baklava with the layering and brushing? I mean it’s a no brainer, if I can have something that tastes similar, I’m making it.

And this tastes oh so similar, and we are completely hooked! I could eat probably 10 of these in one sitting if I let myself, and that’s not even a stretch.

No shame.

Feel free to add a touch of cinnamon or pumpkin spice into the whipped cream mixture if you like!

That would also be super yummy, but I really wanted the natural honey flavor to shine through. They are light, crispy, creamy little bites! And so cute I must add!

How to store:

These need to be stored in the refrigerator as they contain milk based products which will help ensure that they will not go bad.

You can place these in a single layer in an airtight container and then place in the refrigerator which they will keep up to 2-3 days.

I don’t recommend freezing these unfortunately, will all the different components especially the topping you may end up with a mess when defrosted.

Tips and Tricks:

  • No worries if you cant find phyllo cups you can use phyllo dough and cut into about 3″ circles and layer them 5-6 sheets deep so it is thicker.
  • Walnuts will work well with this recipe as well.
  • We have tried it with French vanilla pudding and cheesecake pudding and both taste great!
  • These need to be refrigerated.
