Cultural or Historical Background

Baklava is a traditional Greek dessert made with layers of thin pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey. In this recipe, we've given it a keto-friendly twist by replacing the pastry with a rich chocolate cup and using a sugar-free syrup alternative.
