What is Carrot cezerye?
Carrot cezerye is a traditional sweet associated with Mersin and Tarsus in southern Turkey. Grated carrots are cooked down with sugar until dense, then often mixed with walnuts, hazelnuts or pistachios. It may be shaped into bite-sized pieces and coated in shredded coconut.
Its texture is soft and slightly chewy, with sweet carrot balanced by the crunch of nuts. In Turkey it is commonly offered with tea or served to guests; elsewhere, it makes a distinctive accompaniment to coffee or a small sweet after a meal. Carrot cezerye contains some fibre from the carrots, but it is also concentrated in sugar and energy. A small piece is a practical way to enjoy it without turning it into a large dessert.
