Ho ş merim

A popular cheese dessert in the Aegean region of Turkey is Ho merim, also known as "peynir helvas I". The dessert is pudding-like and is made using only three main ingredients: unsalted cheese, fine powder and sugar. It can also be topped with ice cream, honey or crushed nuts.

Helva

Helva in English Halva is an easy dessert if you are limited in ingredients and don’t have time to make something special for yourself or your friends. Basically, you will need 4 ingredients to make Helva. You need butter, flour, sugar, and water. If you want to enrich your Helva, you can add pine nuts, walnuts, or pistachio to it and top it with cinnamon.

In Turkish cuisine, we have two types of Helva. The first one is Semolina Halva and the other one is Flour Halva. Both of them are usually served at funerals, but they are also known as family gathering desserts. They are the old-school type of desserts that we all love. When we say Helva, we usually mean Semolina Halva.

Katmer

Katmer is a sweet pancake filled with kaymak curd cream and a generous amount of chopped pistachios, then fried in butter until crispy. Because the day before at yeni lokanta (also highly recommended! I had a great Katmer variant, so I saw Katmer in this restaurant and decided to give it a try.

Freshly fried cake is also a bite down really amazing, pistachio filling is very enough, one entrance is fresh rich pistachio aroma, plus a little creamy cream and crispy butter crust, taste and taste are full, satisfaction is bursting! I would like to call it the best pistachio dessert, come to Istanbul must try! I think they sell it in other places besides the one I went to.

The pistachios used in dessert shops in Turkey are of good quality. They are the first harvest picked in the first wave, especially green and fragrant. In ordinary nut shops, you can only buy pistachios picked in the second and third wave, which is more suitable for eating directly as snacks.

Güllaç

Turkish cuisine is famous for its delicious milk desserts and Güllaç is one of them. Güllaç is a traditional Ramadan dessert that dates back to Ottoman Era. This delicious dessert is very popular during Ramadan month because it is very light and easy to prepare.

The Güllaç word is derived from the combination of Güllü and Aş words in Turkish. Gül word means rose and Aş word means food in English. So basically, it may sound like food with a rose. The word Güllü-Aş eventually turn into Güllaç word in time. You may be curious about the relation of rose with this dessert. It is not the rose flower itself, but the rose water has a connection with this dessert.

In Ottoman culture, rose water has a special place because in Islamic beliefs; a good smell is important. So for this reason, using rose water as a fragrant and as a food sweetener was very common at Ottoman Palace. However, today, some people use rose water, and some don’t in this dessert. Personally, I don’t love the rosewater flavor and smell, so I prefer not to use it in any recipe.
