INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1.4 liters milk
  • 300 grams sugar
  • 10 sheets güllaç
  • 150 grams walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon Ground pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon Pomegranate arils

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Repeat the process with 5 güllaç sheets, then evenly sprinkle the walnuts over the top.
  • 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.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours.
  • Slice, garnish with pistachios and pomegranate arils, and serve chilled.
