I decided to expand my vocab for Turkish desserts beyond ‘delight’ or ‘baklava’ and I found my true love (no. 3454553453th).
Ayva - a traditional Ottoman dessert that derives its sweetness from familiar tropical fruit but what makes it a phenomenon is that signature white gelatine like cream - only those of Turkish blood holds the recipe to such greatness.

Amongst the best, one can be found in Haji Abdullah Restaurant, in Taksim Square - which I had. Smile.
