‘Eat sweetly and speak sweetly,' says an old Turkish proverb that many locals still repeat today, emphasizing the importance of desserts in Turkish cuisine.

Turkish sweets are utilized as offerings for auspicious occasions including death, birth, graduation, and the sale of a family house, and they are more than just a treat or indulgence. Here are top 3 Turkish sweets for your perfect evening :

Turkish Pudding (Asure)

The Asure is a rich pudding prepared with pulses like barley, navy beans, and chickpeas that are frequently made with a religious connotation to commemorate the ark's landing. On cold evenings, this rich pudding is the ideal dessert for sustenance.

Baklava

Baklava is perhaps the most well-known of all Turkish desserts, and it can now be purchased in most supermarkets and specialty shops. With layers of buttery filo pastry, the addition of warming spices like clove and cinnamon, the piece de resistance is all in the lashings of honey syrup drizzled atop, with a sprinkling of nuts bringing this masterpiece together.

Rice Pudding - Sutlac

Sutlac is a dish that every home cook should keep in their apron pocket for when they have an excess of cooked rice. Although simple in the procedure, it is a meal with a pleasantly nuanced flavour that is perfect for a hot summer evening because it is best served chilled, making it a healthful snack to keep in the fridge.

Indulge in a sweet Turkish evening treat with your beloved ones to wrap up your day!
