A modern take on baklava — filo rolls filled with spiced crushed nuts and a lemon-vanilla ricotta cream, baked in sugar syrup and drizzled with dark chocolate. Makes 48 large pieces or 96 mini. Looks impressive, tastes extraordinary. Take your time with the filo and it isn't as difficult as it looks.
