Tastes exactly like the peda we used to get in Varanasi as kids. Not overly sweet, and the texture is spot on. Ordered a second box within the week.
Almond Chocolate Pyramid Baklava
About Almond Chocolate Pyramid Baklava
Almond Chocolate Pyramid Baklava: Layered Phyllo with Almond and Chocolate
Almond Chocolate Pyramid Baklava from Sri Annapurna Foods is a layered baklava built into a small pyramid. Sheets of phyllo are brushed one at a time with pure ghee and stacked dozens deep, with ground almond between the layers, and chocolate is threaded over the top once the pastry has cooled completely and set.
Available as a Box of 9, a Box of 16 or a Box of 25, it suits festive gifting, dessert tables and family occasions. Made in Varanasi.
About Almond Chocolate Pyramid Baklava
Baklava is a layered pastry of thin phyllo and chopped nuts. This one is a contemporary take on that old craft: the stack is shaped by hand into a tapering pyramid, baked low and slow, then cooled completely before the chocolate goes on. Ours sits in our Baklava range as the layered, almond-and-chocolate option, next to our Pistachio Pyramid Baklava, Greek Kunafa Baklava, Nutella Bulbul Nest and Cashew Bulbul Nest.
Why You'll Love Our Almond Chocolate Pyramid Baklava
-
Layer upon Layer of Phyllo: Sheets rolled almost transparent and brushed one at a time with pure ghee.
-
Ground Almond Between the Layers: Ground coarsely, so there is something to chew against the crackle.
-
Chocolate, Added Last: Threaded over only after the pastry is fully cold and set, so it does not seep in and soften the layers.
-
Shaped by Hand: Each stack is shaped by hand into a tapering pyramid.
-
Baked Low and Slow: The exposed crown scorches if rushed, so it gets gentle heat.
-
Layers That Separate: Stacked dozens deep so the layers part when broken instead of compressing into a slab.
-
Vegetarian and Eggless: Suitable for vegetarian and egg-free households.
How It's Made
Sheets of phyllo are rolled almost transparent, brushed one by one with pure ghee rather than butter, and stacked dozens deep so the layers separate when broken instead of compressing into a slab. Ground almond goes between them, coarsely ground, so there is something to chew against the crackle. The stack is shaped by hand into a tapering pyramid and baked low and slow, because the exposed crown will scorch if rushed. It is then cooled completely before the chocolate goes on. That order matters: chocolate applied to warm pastry seeps into the layers and softens them from within, so it is threaded over only once everything is cold and set.
Ingredients
• Phyllo pastry — wheat flour
• Almonds
• Dark chocolate
• 100% pure desi ghee
• Sugar
• Lemon
Contains: Wheat (gluten), almonds, milk (ghee, chocolate), soya (lecithin in chocolate). Made in a facility that also processes other tree nuts.
Storage Instructions
Store in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place, below about 25°C — the chocolate is the part that minds the heat, and above that it softens and can develop a harmless pale bloom on the surface. Do not refrigerate: cold makes crisp phyllo limp, and it will not recover. Keep the pieces upright in a single layer rather than stacked, and reseal the box after every serving so humidity does not soften the layers.

Ordered for a family function, arrived well packed and fresh. Everyone asked where I got it from. Will reorder for Diwali.
Good taste, slightly sweeter than I expected but still very good quality. Delivery was quick, within 3 days.
