Baklava Classic Honey-Walnut Baklava with Crisp Phyllo Layers Ingredients: For the baklava: 1 package phyllo dough (16 oz), thawed 2 cups walnuts, finely chopped 1 cup pistachios, finely chopped 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup unsalted butter, melted For the syrup: 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup water 1/2 cup honey 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cinnamon stick 2 strips lemon peel Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix walnuts, pistachios, and cinnamon. Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with melted butter. Place one sheet of phyllo dough in the pan, brush with butter, and repeat until 8 layers are stacked. Sprinkle a thin layer of the nut mixture over the phyllo. Add 4 more phyllo layers (buttering each), then another layer of nuts. Repeat until all nuts are used. Finish with 8 more phyllo sheets on top, buttering each. Cut the unbaked baklava into diamond or square shapes with a sharp knife. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden and crisp. While baklava bakes, make the syrup. Combine sugar, water, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Remove baklava from the oven and immediately pour the warm syrup evenly over the hot baklava. Let it cool completely and soak for several hours or overnight before serving.

Rose Ice Cream Velvet Rose Petal Cream: Floral Homemade Rose Ice Cream Ingredients: 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup granulated sugar 4 large egg yolks 1/4 cup rose water A few drops of pink food coloring (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and thick. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in rose water, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring if using. Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until soft serve consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
