Coconut Chia Pudding

Classic Greek delicacy, baked layers of paper-thin filo dough, filled with finely chopped walnuts, almonds, cinnamon & honey.

Preheat the Oven

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter and set aside.

Prepare the Filo Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, chopped almonds, ground cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well to combine.

Mix the Nut Filling

Place one sheet of filo dough into the prepared baking dish, brushing it with melted butter. Repeat this process with 7-8 sheets, layering and buttering each one.

Layer the Filo Dough

Sprinkle a thin layer of the nut mixture over the buttered filo layers.

Add the Nut Filling

Add 4-5 more layers of buttered filo, followed by another layer of the nut mixture. Repeat until all the nut mixture is used, finishing with 8-10 layers of buttered filo on top.

Continue Layering

Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.

Cut and Bake

While the baklava is baking, combine honey, water, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Honey Syrup

Once the baklava is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot honey syrup over it. Allow it to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
