Pakhlava is Armenia’s take on the classic baklava-style pastry, made by layering thin sheets of dough with a filling of ground walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon, then baking until crisp and golden. Once out of the oven, it's soaked in spiced sugar syrup or honey, sometimes flavored with clove, vanilla, or orange blossom.

Traditionally baked for Christmas, Easter, and weddings, Armenian pakhlava is typically cut into diamond-shaped pieces and topped with a single clove or nut. Regional styles vary from Yerevan to Western Armenian diaspora kitchens, with subtle changes in spice and shape.
