Frequently Asked Questions About Cezerye (Peanut)
What is peanut cezerye made of?
Peanut cezerye is a traditional Turkish sweet made by cooking carrots with sugar until the mixture thickens, then adding peanuts. It is pressed into a slab, cooled, and cut into pieces.
Where does peanut cezerye come from?
Peanut cezerye is associated especially with Mersin and Tarsus in southern Turkey. Cezerye is a traditional regional carrot sweet, and versions with different nuts are now enjoyed across the country.
How is peanut cezerye made?
To make peanut cezerye, grated carrots are cooked with sugar until soft and concentrated. Peanuts are mixed in, and the thick mixture is pressed into a tray, left to cool, and sliced.
What does peanut cezerye taste like?
Peanut cezerye tastes sweet and gently caramel-like, with a chewy, dense texture from the cooked carrot mixture. The peanuts add a roasted flavor and a crunchy contrast.
Is peanut cezerye the same as Turkish delight?

Can you make peanut cezerye without sugar?
Yes, you can make a no-added-sugar version of peanut cezerye, but it will not have the same sweetness or set in quite the same way. Sugar helps the carrot mixture become dense and sliceable.

Peanut cezerye is usually cut into small pieces and served with Turkish tea or coffee. Its concentrated sweetness makes thin slices convenient for a dessert plate or an afternoon snack.
How do you store peanut cezerye?
Store peanut cezerye in an airtight container in a cool, dry place so it does not dry out. For packaged cezerye, follow the storage directions and use-by guidance on the wrapper.
Can peanut cezerye be frozen?
Yes, peanut cezerye can be frozen. Wrap the pieces so they do not stick together and seal them in an airtight container; thaw them while still wrapped to limit surface moisture.
Is peanut cezerye a good choice for people with diabetes?
Peanut cezerye is sugar-rich, so it can raise blood glucose and may need to be limited by people with diabetes. A doctor or dietitian can help match a portion to an individual meal and treatment plan.
