Walnut Tahini Phyllo Rolls - Give Recipe (2024)

These Tahini Phyllo Rolls stuffed with walnuts are game changer. They are crispy, sweet and perfectly nutty. Super easy to make with phyllo sheets.

If you love Turkish baklava with walnuts, you will love these baklava cookies too. These have almost the same taste without the syrup. Plus it has that amazing tahini flavor.

Imagine that you are having some guests this evening, but you don’t have enough time to prepare a cake or cookies to offer with coffee or tea. What would you do? Would you go buy something prepared or look for an easy-quick and tasty recipe? If the latter is your choice, I’d like to share a recipe I learnt from mom II. No sweet treat could be easier and tastier than these crispy baklava cookies with tahini.

Have you tried tahini before? You know it’s a paste made from ground sesame and used in Middle East countries. It’s a great ingredient that you can use in both savory and sweet dishes. Among several ways of using tahini, two of them are the most common ones. One is the mixture of tahini and grape molasses, which is a breakfast food and eaten in Winter days. The other is hummus, which is a great mezze/dip sauce. I guess, the function of it in these two dishes is to balance the flavors. That’s why it could be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

Tahini is a perfect ingredient for pastries too. Have you seen these tahini cookies melting in mouth? I must warn you as these are dangerously scrumptious! It balances the sweetness very well that you don’t get fed up with these even if you eat many.

These phyllo rolls with walnuts and tahini are super yummy! The best part of these rolls is that you can keep them in the refrigerator for almost a week and they are still great! These rolls are crunchy, but still melting in your mouth! Your guests will love them! No extra butter or oil, no egg, no milk or yogurt! You just need 4 ingredients!

Coat on top of phyllo sheets with tahini with the help of a brush. No different from painting walls!

Sprinkle sugar and walnuts on tahini paste.

Roll it up firmly.

Cut it into 5 or 6 pieces.
