Chocolate Pistachio Rolled Baklava

Chocolate baklava with nuts? Yes! And a very easy recipe too!
I'm using ready made filo dough this time (you could check my made from scratch recipe here), which saves enormous amount of time.
Also, in this recipe the dough is just rolled into "tubes" and placed tightly together. You don't even need to take time to cut it nicely, just in half.
It's tasty, chocolatey, sweet and no fuss at all. Enjoy!
around 300g filo dough
200g crushed pistachio nuts
180g milk chocolate, chopped
250g butter, melted
30g cocoa powder
2.5tb.s. corn starch
Syrup:
3 cups vanilla powdered sugar
juice of half a lemon
2 cup water

Onto lightly floured surface place one by one thin layers of filo dough (brush with some melted butter if the dough get's too dry and I found it's easier to use two sheets of dough instead of only single sheet), sprinkle each evenly, but not too much with crushed nuts and chocolate, roll each piece beginning from one side and place onto baking (I use pyrex glass dish) dish tightly to each other.
Melt butter in microwave, add cocoa powder, starch and mix well. Evenly distribute the butter over all rolls and place the dish onto preheated to 180C oven. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until golden.
In the meantime cook on low powdered sugar with water and lemon juice during 15 minutes or so.
When baklava is baked, take it out of the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Now brush baklava with syrup, using all of it and let it cool until it can be placed into the fridge. Wait for 2-3 hours before serving.
