  • 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (cream included)

🍽️ What Makes Oreo Baklava Special?

Traditional baklava relies on nuts for texture and richness. In this modern version, crushed Oreos replace the nuts, creating a chocolatey filling with just the right amount of sweetness and crunch. The buttery phyllo layers balance the richness, while the warm syrup ties everything together in melt-in-your-mouth harmony.

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Syrup

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and optional chocolate syrup. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Phyllo

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush a 9×13-inch baking dish with melted butter.

Unroll phyllo dough and keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.

Step 3: Layer the Baklava

  • Place 2 sheets of phyllo in the dish, brush with butter

  • Repeat until you’ve used half the phyllo sheets

  • Spread ½ of the crushed Oreo mixture evenly

  • Add 2–3 more buttered phyllo layers

  • Spread remaining Oreos

  • Finish with remaining phyllo sheets, buttering each layer generously

Step 4: Cut Before Baking

Using a sharp knife, cut into diamonds or squares before baking. This ensures clean slices later.
