This doesn’t seem to be a traditional Turkish dessert, as my Turkish friends all found it to be rather unusual. Traditional or not, it is truly memorable. I have been dreaming of having my lamb gyro platter followed by this refreshing dessert. It’s like a panna cotta with sliced almonds. The texture is less gelatinous than panna cotta but slightly denser than rice pudding. I am always attracted to desserts with almonds, and this one definitely stands on its own.
