Güllaç, a traditional Ottoman dessert, remains a staple of Ramadan iftar tables in Türkiye due to its light and milky texture.
Dessert master İbrahim Taşdemir highlighted the importance of milk, sugar, and rose water in its preparation. Layers of güllaç are softened with milk, with walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios added between them, and decorated with fruits like pomegranate and strawberries.
Konya Pastry Shops Chamber President Kadir Kağnıcıoğlu noted its rising popularity, emphasizing its digestibility and lightness. He also warned consumers to buy from trusted vendors to avoid health risks from unregulated products.
