I’m usually not the biggest fan of frosting as I always find it to be way too sweet, this is why this time I decided to use Isey Skyr and Philadelphia with only 25g of icing sugar. This gives the muffins that soft delicious texture and doesn’t add too much sweetness. I have also recently become addicted to pistachio recipes and I’ve discovered that by adding pistachios you can remove some sugar since the pistachios will give that added taste you are looking for.

Baklava’s can be found all over the Middle East in many different shapes and sizes as well as different nut and spice adaptations - my personal favourites are Pistachio Baklavas but you can easily exchange the Pistachios with for example walnuts - you can also play with the spices or leave them out all together. Baklava’s are extremely fun to make, yes they are quite the calorie bomb but your guests will love them (plus it’s one of those things people think takes AGES to make and will be even more impressed).

Deliciously smooth and rich pistachio cake.
