What is Güllaç with pomegranate?
Güllaç with pomegranate is a Turkish milk dessert made by softening thin starch wafers in sweetened milk and layering them with pomegranate seeds. It is especially associated with Ramadan, when it often appears at iftar; some home versions also include walnuts or a little rosewater.
The chilled wafers become tender and delicate, with a milky sweetness brightened by the tart, juicy seeds. It is usually served cold after a meal, including at Ramadan gatherings. Carbohydrates make up much of its nutritional profile, while the milk contributes some protein and fat; it is often considered a lighter-feeling dessert than richer pastries.
