Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1.4 liters milk

  • 300 grams sugar

  • 10 sheets güllaç

  • 150 grams crumbled walnuts

For garnish

  • Ground pistachios

  • Pomegranate arils

Instructions

  1. Heat the milk and sugar in a pot, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil, just warm it enough to melt the sugar. It should be warm but still comfortable to touch.

  2. Break a güllaç sheet into 4–5 pieces and place them in a 32x25 cm (5 cm deep) baking dish. Pour a ladle of the warm milk over the pieces.

  3. Repeat the process with 5 güllaç sheets, then evenly sprinkle the walnuts over the top.

  4. Continue layering with the remaining güllaç sheets, pouring milk between each layer. Once all the sheets are used, pour any remaining milk over the top.

  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours.

  6. Slice, garnish with pistachios and pomegranate arils, and serve chilled.
