Gaziburma - Carrot Slice Pistachio Baklava
Gaziburma Mustafa Carrot Slice Pistachio Baklava
The name “Havuc Dilimi” means “carrot slice” in Turkish. This baklava is cut into large, triangular slices resembling carrots—instead of the usual small squares. Each slice is layered with thin phyllo, rich pistachios, and lightly sweet syrup.
Description
This version stands out with its generous pistachio filling and perfect crisp. It's slightly lighter in syrup than classic baklava, allowing the natural nut and pastry flavors to shine. One slice feels like a luxurious individual treat.
Key Features
- Unique shape: Large, triangular “carrot slice” presentation for bold visual and flavor impact.
- Nut-focused: Always filled with pistachios—never walnuts or creams.
- Generous portions: One slice is a substantial serving, unlike small traditional squares.
- Light sweetness: Balanced syrup lets the crisp layers and nuts shine.
