1 serving (medium) of Katmer with ice cream (180 g) has 706 calories. That works out to 392 calories per 100 g. It contains 71.6 g of carbs, 12.8 g of protein, 40.3 g of fat and 4.1 g of fiber.

Katmer with ice cream pairs a thin, layered pastry with pistachios and a scoop of ice cream. The pastry is associated especially with Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey, where katmer is traditionally enjoyed at breakfast; adding ice cream makes it a more dessert-like serving. The dough is folded around butter, sugar and finely chopped pistachios, then baked until golden.
It arrives warm and crisp, with a rich, flaky centre and the cool, creamy contrast of the ice cream. The pastry is energy-dense, with much of its energy coming from fat and carbohydrates; pistachios add a little protein and fibre. For a lighter finish, share a serving or have it without extra toppings.

Katmer with ice cream is a Turkish dessert made from thin pastry folded around a sweet filling, commonly pistachios, butter, sugar, and kaymak, then served with a scoop of ice cream. The pastry is usually crisp outside and tender inside.
Katmer is especially associated with Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey, where it is also eaten as a breakfast pastry. Serving it with ice cream is a dessert-style presentation, pairing the warm, buttery pastry with a cold scoop.
To make katmer with ice cream, thin dough is spread with butter and filled, often with pistachios, sugar, and kaymak. It is folded into a square and cooked until golden, then served with ice cream added on the side.
Katmer with ice cream is folded into a pastry parcel and is usually not soaked in syrup. Baklava is made from many thin pastry layers and is typically sweetened with syrup. Katmer is often served warm with ice cream alongside it.
Katmer with ice cream is usually served with the pastry warm and the ice cream cold. Adding the scoop just before eating helps keep the pastry crisp and stops the ice cream from melting too quickly.
Plain or vanilla ice cream is a common pairing for katmer because it complements the buttery pastry and pistachio filling without overpowering them. Other flavors work too, but strongly flavored ice cream can compete with the pastry’s delicate taste.
Yes, filo pastry can be used for a home version of katmer with ice cream. Brush the sheets lightly with butter, add the filling, and fold them into a parcel before baking or pan-cooking. The texture differs from traditionally prepared katmer dough.
Katmer itself is traditionally eaten for breakfast in Gaziantep, but the version served with ice cream is more commonly treated as dessert. For a breakfast-style serving, enjoy the warm pastry on its own or keep the ice cream on the side.
Store leftover katmer separately from the ice cream in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Reheat the pastry briefly in an oven or pan to bring back some crispness, then serve it with fresh ice cream.
Freezing katmer together with ice cream is not ideal because thawing can make the pastry soggy. If you need to freeze it, separate the ice cream and freeze the cooked pastry in an airtight container; reheat it before serving.
