Baklava With A Turkish Touch, Keşkül ~ Turkish Almond Pudding, And Şekerpare Does almost everyone know what Baklava consists of? But have you had it with a Turkish Touch? Throughout the Middle East; the Caucasus, which is a region at the border of Asia, Europe, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea, and of course modern-day Turkey, comes a wide variety of Baklava. Traditional Baklava by nature is over-sweet, made with walnuts and phyllo dough, and then it is soaked in honey. When you are sure there is no version that is a favorite among the many recipes, you encounter Turkish Style Baklava. In Turkey, you will see that pistachios are usually used instead of traditional walnuts. There are also several other small changes made to the other recipes. The end result is amazing. This is the king of the Baklavas. Then there is the discovery of Keşkül, an almond pudding made with milk, coconut, and pistachios. It is usually served in a special bowl with a spoon. Sprinkled on top are coconut flakes and pistachio pieces. The name, itself, has an interesting story behind it. In the time of the Ottoman Empire, this was the name of a special bowl that lodges used for begging money so that the lodge could make this special pudding. The pudding was then served in these same bowls and given to the poor. This special dessert is served in these same bowls even today. Our next major desert is Şekerpare.
