Baklava Sundae With Grilled Peaches

Submitted by dojemi

""There’s no denying that baklava is great on its own, but it’s over-the-top sensational when combined with peaches and ice cream in the guise of a sundae. In honor of outdoor cooking season, this recipe adds grilled peaches to add some extra flavor..........you can use roasted pears or apples during fall or winter." You can make your own Baklava recipe or buy some (good quality) from the store. Try it with Greek yogurt. Cook time posted is when store bought Baklava is used."
