Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup flour
1 1/4 cups walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 small lemon, zest of
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 dash salt

Steps:

  • To make pastry: Dump everything into a bowl, roll up your sleeves and get your hands right into it. Work the dough well and knead for a couple of minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or more) before proceeding with recipe.
  • Make 12 balls of equal size out of the dough and tamp a pastry ball down into each of 12 non-stick muffin cups, making sure pastry covers bottom and comes 3/4s of the way up sides.
  • To make filling: Mix all filling ingredients together well. Carefully distribute filling mixture into pastry-lined muffin cups.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. The pastry should be a light golden colour (loosely tent with aluminium foil if walnuts are browning too quickly, but the mixture will be dark - like a pecan or walnut pie). Wait 2 minutes after removing from oven and very carefully, using the tip of a thin, pointed knife, gently knudge each tart out of its cup and transfer to a rack to cool. Some tarts may be a little stuck, just run the tip of the knife around then knudge gently.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pistachios, and almonds.
  • To make the tarts ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe instructions, then let them cool completely. Store the tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat the tarts, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tarts on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • Serve the tarts warm or at room temperature. You can garnish them with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Conclusion:

Baklava tarts are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are relatively easy to make, and the results are always impressive. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give these baklava tarts a try. You won't be disappointed!
