Recipe Ingredients:
Honey Sauce:
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Pinch allspice
- Kosher salt
To Serve:
- 8 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 baklavas, store-bought
- Canned whipped cream, for topping
How To Make Baklava-Inspired Sundaes?
- Make the Honey Sauce: In a saucepan, combine honey, pistachios, butter, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium until simmering, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Sundaes: Place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into each serving bowl.
- Drizzle with Sauce: Spoon the warm honey sauce over the ice cream.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Serve each sundae with a piece of baklava and a dollop of whipped cream.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Warm Honey Sauce: Let the honey sauce cool slightly but keep it warm when drizzling over the ice cream—it blends better and enhances the flavor.
- Toast the Pistachios: Lightly toast the chopped pistachios in a dry pan for extra crunch and a deeper nutty taste.
- Soften the Baklava: If your baklava is too firm, microwave it for 5-10 seconds to make it soft and flaky before serving.
- Chill the Bowls: Serve the sundaes in chilled bowls to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- Balance the Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dessert, use unsweetened whipped cream or a pinch of sea salt to cut through the richness.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Since this dessert is best enjoyed fresh, only the honey sauce can be stored. Let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Warm it slightly before serving.
