"Formula"

Here's the formula:

1. milk pudding (a turkish must)
topped with
2. pekmez ("a molasses-like syrup obtained after condensing juices of fruit must, especially grape, fig or mulberry")
topped with
3. tahini
topped with
4. crumbled hazelnuts



I had it at an incredible local restaurant with the best mezes outside of Ephesus.

in ye-old Turkey, mothers forced this dessert down their children's throats, because it was healthy. still is, if you ask me, but we wouldn't believe it.
They love their fruit syrups, as liquids or solids (to encase walnuts, another kid-friendly healthy snack) here. I will miss them.
