Chocolate Baklava


Baklava dessert is one of the most cherished desert and is liked by the masses. The sad part about these tempted desserts is that they follow a very strict Kosher recipe and is not so easy to make it at home. If you still are adamant to bake a baklava Dessert then it is prime importance to follow the Baklava Recipe precisely.

In order to get a perfect dessert such as the Kosher dessert or the baklava , the secret lies in the dough. If you get a perfect dough then half of your job is done. A perfect dough comes with years of experience and with lots of practice. If you want to add a different dimension to your dessert then you are more than welcome to add chopped nuts and artificial essence.

However, if you are not too confident then you must definitely start with simpler Baklava recipes such as the Baklava Fingers which are rolled into a cylinder shape and are comparatively easier to form and prepare. You can make it more interesting by adding chocolate.

Chocolate Baklava is one of the most popular baklava especially with children.. You can find the recipe and step by step procedure to make a perfect  chocolate baklava dessert from any renowned recipe book or log on to a well known website and follow the recipe step by step. If you do not get the perfect baklava the very first time you don’t have to be disappointed as practice will make you achieve perfection.

Baklava: The King of Kosher Dessert

A kosher dessert refers to one which follows the Jewish dietary rules strictly. The king of kosher desserts is said to be baklava. Baklava refers to a type of exquisitely flavored pastry that has a light flaky crust arranged in layers. These layers are a part of the special characteristics of the baklava recipe. These layers are filled sumptuously with a filling of nuts, dates, chocolates and fruits which is finally sweetened with sugar syrup or honey after it has been baked perfectly.

Although there are never ending debates as to which is the originating country of this unique dessert – Greece, Middle East Asia or China, they have caused any kind of negative publicity for the pastry.

The gourmet baklava pastries are made up of paper thin sheets of Phyllo dough that maybe layered only on the two sides or in between as well to form multiple layers of sweetened nuts and crust. While another difference still runs between the use of butter and oil for the baklava dessert, there are other differences as well. In the baklava recipe of the Mediterranean and the Middle Eastern countries as well as America, the sheets of the dough are brushed with butter. On the other hand, in the recipe of Greek baklava, the sheets are brushed with olive oil. Then again, the oil is poured, not brushed on the sheets in order to make baklava products.

The Baklava Factory is one of the best places where you can indulge your culinary senses into a roller coaster of exquisiteness of taste, when it is mixed with a beautiful ambiance of a cafe with a perfect patio, all set and inviting you.
