Peach Baklava Recipes

PEACH BAKLAVA ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Add the peach slices to a medium bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the honey over the peaches and toss until coated. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
• Beat the yogurt, heavy cream and remaining 4 tablespoons honey in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan that is at least 2 inches deep with plastic wrap, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on all sides. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the yogurt-cream mixture over the bottom of the pan. Evenly layer about 14 slices (about 1/2 cup) of the peaches over the cream. Top with 1 1/2 sheets of graham crackers. Break up the remaining 1/2 sheet into small pieces and use them to fill in the gaps. Repeat twice with the remaining yogurt-cream mixture, peaches and graham crackers (making sure to end with a layer of graham crackers on top). Cover the top of the pan with the overhanging plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12.
• When ready to serve, unwrap the top of the loaf plan and invert it onto a flat plate or cutting board. Remove the plastic wrap, sprinkle with the pistachios and drizzle with honey.

PEACH BAKLAVA FLOWERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Spray eight 1-cup muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Cut each sheet of filo pastry into 8 squares.
• Line each of the 8 muffin tin cups with 3 squares of filo pastry, brushing butter in between each layer and on the top, overlapping the sheets at different angles.
• Combine the almonds, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle over each of the 8 pastry cups.
• Top each one with the 3 more squares of pastry, with butter in between each layer and continue to overlap the sheets at different angles.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, dissolve the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar in the orange juice; bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer.
• Halve the peaches and slice thinly (you can peel them or not - your preference).
• Add the peaches to the syrup and stir gently to coat them; simmer for 2 or 3 minutes.
• Remove the pastry "flowers" from the muffin tins, and with a slotted spoon, remove the peaches from the syrup and distribute evenly in the "flowers".
• Drizzle remaining syrup over them; dust with icing sugar.
• Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if you like!
