# Ingredients:
→ What You'll Need for Baklava Cups
01 -
12 ready-made phyllo shells
02 -
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
03 -
1/3 cup chopped pecans
04 -
Pinch of salt
05 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
07 -
1/3 cup sugar (granulated)
08 -
1/3 cup light brown sugar
09 -
1/4 cup heavy cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the phyllo shells on a parchment-lined baking tray.
02 -
Heat granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter in a saucepan on medium. Stir it well until the sugars melt and the mix thickens a little.
03 -
Turn off the heat. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, then fold the pecans into the caramel sauce until fully coated.
04 -
Spoon the pecan caramel mixture evenly into each of the phyllo shells.
05 -
Pop it into your preheated oven for 15–20 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the filling bubbles and the shells turn lightly golden.
06 -
Let the baklava cups cool down a bit before serving for the best taste and texture.
# Notes:
01 -
Let the caramel cool slightly before adding pecans to keep them crunchy.
02 -
Don't bake the phyllo too long—it should stay light and crisp.
03 -
These taste best when served a little warm.
