CORE CONCEPT
Baklava is one of the most sensual, layered, and love-coded desserts in human history — known across the Middle East, Greece, Turkey, and North Africa.
But traditional baklava is loaded with wheat, sugar, and seed oils.
Eros Baklava™ reclaims this ancient indulgence for the modern sacred eater, with:
• Flaky almond-cassava phyllo-style dough
• Herb-infused nut layers
• Ashwagandha + shatavari + saffron syrup
• Optional aphrodisiacs (like pine pollen, maca, or damiana)
• Monk fruit + yacon for sweetness with safety
This is alchemy by dessert — sweet, sticky, sacred, and deeply satisfying.
PRIMAL “PHYLLLO” DOUGH (GF, GRAIN-FREE)
Dry Mix:
• 3/4 cup cassava flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 tbsp arrowroot flour
• 1 tbsp psyllium husk
• Pinch salt
Wet:
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted ghee
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• ~1/3 cup warm water
Method:
1. Combine dough into elastic ball
2. Roll paper-thin between two parchment sheets
3. Cut into 10–14 large rectangles
4. Layer with ghee between each sheet while assembling baklava
FILLING – HERBAL NUT SEDUCTION
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup pistachios
• 1/4 cup almonds or pecans
• 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut (optional)
• 1 tbsp monk fruit syrup
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cardamom
• Pinch of nutmeg or clove
• 1 tsp rose petals (crushed)
• 1/2 tsp ashwagandha powder
• Optional: damiana, pine pollen, or maca for aphrodisiac energy
Pulse into fine crumble. Toast lightly in ghee. Sprinkle evenly between phyllo sheets.
SYRUP – SAFFRON HONEY ELIXIR (LOW-GI)
• 1/4 cup filtered water
• 2 tbsp monk fruit syrup or yacon syrup
• 1 tbsp raw honey (optional, low-GI safe in moderation)
• 1 tbsp rose water
• Few strands saffron
• 1 crushed cardamom pod
• Optional: 1/4 tsp shatavari or blue lotus extract
Simmer on low until fragrant and lightly thickened.
Pour over baked baklava while still hot so the layers soak in the elixir.
ASSEMBLY + BAKING
1. Grease a small baking dish with ghee
2. Layer phyllo sheets (5–7), brushing each with ghee
3. Add half of nut filling
4. Repeat phyllo + nuts until complete
5. Cut into diamonds or squares before baking
6. Bake at 350°F for 25–30 min until golden
7. Immediately drizzle hot syrup over and let sit 2+ hours or overnight for full absorption
