An Australian chef has created an irresistible Biscoff baklava, fusing the popular biscuit spread with the classic Middle Eastern dessert. Taking to Instagram to showcase her culinary spin, Scarlett Holmes, known by her handle @scarlactive, has made waves online with her innovative Biscoff series.
The Perth-based cook delighted her followers last year when she shared a Reel for week three of her Biscoff-inspired recipes: “BISCOFF BAKLAVA!! Week 3 of 22 of my Biscoff series. “If you want friends pls just make this recipe and give it out because oh my.”
Scarlett continued with a playful confession: “Normal baklava is 10/10 but I have 30 jars of Biscoff that need using. Yes. I am a Biscoff hoarder. Enjoy!!!!”
Her mouthwatering video has racked up over 108,000 views, sending pastry enthusiasts into a frenzy. Amongst heaps of comments, one admirer, Lily Turton, couldn’t hold back: “I’m drooling.” Angelika chimed in with enthusiasm: “GIRL STOPPP.

Loveee baklava but biscoff baklava is next level!!,” and Annie deemed it sheer “Well this is PERFECTION.” Cravings were intense as Cherise remarked: “Literally need this right now.”
