Inspired by traditional baklava, these rolls offer a delightful twist on the classic dessert, featuring layers of filo pastry with a luscious filling of nuts. This version pairs walnuts with the bright zest of oranges, creating a sweet, nutty flavour enhanced by the citrusy freshness. It's a fun and delicious new way to enjoy the textures and tastes of filo pastry.

I wasn't sure about using the filosheeds and the butterspreading(haven't used them before),maybe because of my german language barrier, but i improved and it worked quiet well! I also used hazlenuts and added a pinch of cardamom to my syrup -sooo good!(:

Hi Lisa, it's wonderful to hear that you managed to work through the unfamiliar steps and had success! Adding hazelnuts and cardamom sounds like a delicious twist 🤗

Hi there, I absolutely love your recipes! However this time I do not quite understand the instructions. Where do the other 16 filo sheets and the 2/3 of the filling go? Thank you!

Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for the kind words – I'm thrilled to hear you’ve been enjoying the recipes! 🥰 And thank you for reaching out with your question! In step 5, it actually calls for using a third *cup* of the filling, rather than a third of the entire mixture. For the remaining filo sheets and walnut filling, you’ll keep layering and rolling until the tart tin is fully filled. I’ve updated the instructions a bit to clarify. Let me know if any other questions pop up – I’m here and happy to help! Enjoy the recipe when you make it!

Any other type of nuts you would recommend for this recipe? I would love to try it but I am allergic to walnuts.

Hey Sofia! We imagine you could use pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts instead of walnuts - they each have a slightly different flavour but work well with orange zest and the syrup in this baklava recipe 😊
