Erzurum kadayıf dessert is a Turkish regional sweet, usually made as walnut-filled kadayıf dolması. Shredded pastry is rolled around walnuts, coated in egg, fried, and dipped in syrup, giving it a crisp outside and a sweet, soft interior.
To make Erzurum kadayıf dessert, wrap shredded kadayıf pastry around chopped walnuts, seal the rolls, dip them in beaten egg, and fry until golden. Dip the hot rolls briefly in cool syrup, then let the excess syrup drain before serving.
No, Erzurum kadayıf dessert is not the same preparation as most kunafa. Erzurum’s version is typically walnut-filled, rolled, egg-coated, and fried before being soaked in syrup; kunafa is commonly layered or molded with a cheese or cream filling.
Erzurum kadayıf dessert comes from Erzurum, a city in eastern Türkiye. It is associated with the region’s kadayıf dolması tradition, in which shredded pastry is filled with walnuts, fried, and served after soaking in syrup.
Erzurum kadayıf dessert is traditionally filled with walnuts wrapped in thin strands of kadayıf pastry. The rolls are dipped in egg before frying and then coated with syrup; some home recipes adjust the walnut filling or syrup to taste.
Erzurum kadayıf dessert can unravel if the pastry is wrapped loosely or the ends are left open. Roll each piece tightly around its walnut filling, tuck in the ends, and handle it gently when placing it in the hot oil.
Yes, you can bake Erzurum kadayıf dessert instead of frying it, although frying is the traditional method. Baking uses less oil, but the coating will not have quite the same crisp texture as the fried, egg-dipped rolls.
Store Erzurum kadayıf dessert in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. The syrup gradually softens the pastry, so it will lose some crispness; gently reheating a portion before serving can improve its texture.
Yes, Erzurum kadayıf dessert can be frozen, though fully syrup-soaked pieces may become softer after thawing. For a better texture, freeze the filled rolls before syruping, then thaw, cook, and dip them in syrup before serving.
Erzurum kadayıf dessert is usually served on its own after excess syrup has drained, sometimes garnished with chopped walnuts or pistachios. Unsweetened tea or coffee balances its sweetness; it can also be offered as part of a Turkish dessert spread.

Erzurum kadayıf dessert is a syrup-soaked version of kadayıf dolması, a specialty associated with Erzurum in eastern Turkey. Fine strands of kadayıf pastry are wrapped around a walnut filling, dipped in egg, fried until golden and then soaked in syrup. The outside is lightly crisp, the centre soft, with a rich sweetness and nutty flavour.
It is served as a dessert, often with tea or after a meal; in Turkey it is also a familiar choice for iftar. The syrup and frying make it an energy-dense treat, with substantial carbohydrate and fat. A small piece alongside unsweetened tea makes a satisfying serving without adding more sweetness.
