How to Make Chocolate Brownie Baklava
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Whisk in 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 1/4 cup of your favorite liqueur (optional).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush 1 package (14.1 oz) phyllo sheets with melted clarified butter (about 1 cup) between each layer.
- Stack the phyllo sheets and cut them into 16 (4x4 inch) squares.
- Brush one side of each phyllo square with caramel sauce and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Cut the cooled brownies into 16 (3x3 inch) squares.
- Place one brownie square onto each phyllo square. Fold the phyllo dough around the brownie, creating an ‘envelope’ shape. Brush with clarified butter.
- Place the assembled baklava on a baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Bake for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, extra caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and pecans.
