I prefer leaving it up to you when it comes to how much yogurt versus jam versus baklava you use, because it’s really a personal taste thing. For me, and since it’s a yogurt parfait, the yogurt is the star of this dessert. The jam is a thin layer of fruity honey berry sweetness to freshen up the dessert.

When it comes to the baklava crumbles, again it’s a thin layer about double that of the jam (again, that’s just my taste) because I love to taste the crunch, the nuts and that contrast in textures is heavenly! The combo of creamy yogurt, chewy fruity jam and crunchy baklava with nuts is perfection.

How to make Homemade Baklava Crumbles:

There’s something quite intimidating about making baklava, so these homemade baklava crumbles are a great way to get you started.

You’ll simply need some phyllo dough, cut it up with scissors or simply tear them up with your hands into a large bowl.

Then you’ll add pistachios (any nut or combo of nuts work great!) and spices.

I’ve used cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. For a touch of sweetness, I’ve added some confectioner sugar.

Finally, you can’t have baklava without the butter so you’ll need a bit of melted butter to toss these shreds together.

Spread those phyllo shreds on a baking sheet and bake them for just 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. And that’s it!

Ingredients

For the Baklava Crumble:

  • 4 sheets phyllo dough , thawed
  • 1/2 cup shelled unsalted pistachios (any other nut or combo of nuts is ok)
  • 1/3 cup confectioner sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter

For assembling the parfaits:

  • 1 carton vanilla yogurt (Greek preferably but any other type or flavor would work)
  • 1 jar smucker’s Triple Berry Fruit and Honey Jam (any other flavor would work too)

Instructions

For the Baklava Crumble:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Take the phyllo dough sheets and layer them over each other. Take an edge of the phyllo dough rectangle and roll out the dough into a tube shape.
  3. Use your scissors to cut out a fourth of an inch strip of the rolled phyllo dough over a large bowl.
  4. Add the pistachios, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon over the phyllo strips and use your hands to toss the mixture together—don’t worry about tearing up pieces of the strips because it will crumble anyway.
  5. Add the butter a tablespoon at a time to the phyllo mixture and toss everything very well.
  6. Now spread the phyllo mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. You’ll need to rotate the baking sheet and toss the phyllo mixture gently with a wooden spoon to make sure the heat is evenly distributed.
  7. Remove the baklava crumble from the oven when it turns golden and slightly crisp. The crumble will crisp up more as it cools.

To assemble the baklava yogurt parfait:
