Pumpkin Desert / Balkabagı Tatlısı

Shave the pumpkin and cut in to small pieces. Put them in a pot add some sugar on top and cook till the pumpkins are soft to eat..

Normally i use walnut but there wasnt at home at that time so i use hazelnuts instead. Roasted them 

it helps the oils and tastes come out. then smashed them and put them in a jar for next uses..

 

Tahini and hazelnuts on the top pumpkin desert.. I guess in two days this desert could turn into a chesecake or a filling for a cake or pudding:)

Homemade Turkish Delight

So very easy receipe is here..

Tonight i have guests for Iftar and i'll serve these after dinner with Turkish tea.

Sultan's Delight

Actually not  really looks like or tastes like a Turkish delight but it is close to.. No flour no butter.. And of course making it at home gets the bonus.

* 3 cups milk

* 7 tablespoon semolina

* 7 tablespoon sugar

* 1 package powder whipped cream

* Coconut powder

->

First take saucepan and put  milk, semolina and sugar in it. Cook it until boiling and taking a tough shape.

Let it get cooler.

When it cooled put the powder whipped cream in it and stir again with spoon.

Put some coconut powder on a tray,take a wallnut size piece from the saucepan and swirl in hand and then put it on the tray.(you can make your hands wet in this step) Make sure every delight covered with coconut powder. Then put an almond on the top.

It is ready..
