How to Make Brownie Baklava
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the Brownie Batter:**
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate squares in a double boiler, stirring every 30 seconds, until completely melted.
- Let cool slightly before stirring in 2 cups granulated sugar.
- Beat in 4 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.
- Sift in 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; mix until just combined.
- Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts and ½ cup chopped pistachios.
- Set brownie batter aside.
- **Assemble the Baklava:**
- Roll out one package (14.1 ounces) phyllo dough onto a work surface. Keep phyllo covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- Place a 9-inch springform pan in the center of the phyllo and cut around the edges with a sharp knife, shaping the phyllo to fit the pan.
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan.
- Spread some melted butter on the bottom and sides of the springform pan.
- Place one sheet of phyllo in the bottom of the pan; brush generously with melted butter.
- Repeat with 6 more phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
- Spread half of the brownie batter evenly over the 7 phyllo sheets.
- Layer 6 more phyllo sheets, brushing each with melted butter, on top of the brownie layer.
- Spread the remaining brownie batter over the phyllo.
- Top with remaining phyllo sheets (approximately 7), brushing each with melted butter.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the unbaked baklava into desired shapes (e.g., diamond, chevron, star).
- Brush the top with the remaining melted butter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with 1 cup honey.
- Let cool completely (at least 3 hours).
- Drizzle with ½ cup honey and ½ cup chopped pistachios before serving.
