Nutella Hazelnut Baklava

A delicious and indulgent twist on traditional baklava featuring layers of crispy phyllo dough, rich Nutella hazelnut spread, and crunchy hazelnuts, all drizzled with golden honey.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 24 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz) phyllo dough (thawed)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1.5 cups Nutella hazelnut spread (melted)
  • 1 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 cup pure honey

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 350Β°F. Cut phyllo to fit 9×13 dish. Melt butter and Nutella separately.
  • Layer Base: Butter dish. Layer 6 phyllo sheets, brushing each with melted butter.
  • Fill & Repeat: Add Nutella, hazelnuts, honey. Layer 6 more phyllo sheets. Repeat filling process.
  • Finish & Bake: Top with remaining phyllo. Cut into squares, then triangles. Bake 30 minutes until golden.
  • Final Touch: Drizzle with remaining honey immediately. Rest 2 hours. Add final Nutella drizzle.

Notes

  • Keep phyllo covered with damp towel while working to prevent cracking and tearing
  • Score completely through all layers before baking for clean cuts after cooling
  • Warm Nutella slightly in microwave for easier spreading and better layer distribution
  • Allow baklava to cool completely for 2 hours before serving for best texture and easier cutting
