Kerebic with Walnut is a traditional semolina-based pastry filled with walnuts, associated especially with Mersin in southern Turkey. It is commonly served beneath a distinctive white foam made from çöven root, rather than with ordinary whipped cream.
Kerebic with Walnut is best known as a specialty of Mersin, on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. It is often served for holidays and gatherings there, though family recipes vary in their dough, filling, shaping, and use of çöven foam.
Kerebic with Walnut is made by shaping semolina dough around a walnut filling, traditionally pressing the pieces in a patterned mold, and baking them. The finished pastries are often topped with foam made from çöven root before serving.
The white topping on Kerebic with Walnut is traditionally çöven foam, made using the root of the çöven plant. It is not whipped cream or a dairy topping, and its light, foamy texture is part of the dessert’s customary presentation.
The filling is the main difference: Kerebic with Walnut contains walnuts, while pistachio Kerebic is filled with pistachios, often Antep pistachios. The semolina pastry and traditional çöven-foam topping are otherwise broadly similar.
Kerebic with Walnut is generally served at room temperature rather than hot. This keeps the semolina pastry pleasant to bite and the walnut filling from becoming too firm; the çöven foam can be added just before serving.
Turkish coffee or tea is a common accompaniment to Kerebic with Walnut. Coffee offers a bold contrast to the sweet pastry, while tea makes a lighter pairing; the choice often depends on the occasion and local custom.
Yes. You can reduce added sugar or fat in a homemade Kerebic with Walnut recipe and make smaller pieces. Keep the walnut filling if you want it to retain its traditional character, and use a modest amount of çöven foam when serving.
Store Kerebic with Walnut in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and add çöven foam close to serving time. Once topped with foam, refrigerate it if needed; refrigeration can make the pastry firmer, so let it come back toward room temperature before eating.
Yes, Kerebic with Walnut can be frozen before the çöven foam is added. Wrap the pieces airtight, thaw them before serving, and allow them to return to room temperature. The foam is best prepared fresh rather than frozen with the pastry.

Kerebic with Walnut is a traditional sweet associated especially with Mersin in southern Turkey. It is made from a semolina-based dough shaped around a walnut filling, often in a patterned mould. In the local version, it may be served with a light, white foam made from çöven root, a distinctive pairing that sets it apart from many filled biscuits.
The shell is crumbly, while the centre is rich with walnuts; it is commonly shared with tea or served at festive meals, including during Ramadan. It is a sweet, energy-dense treat, with 410 calories per 100 g. Serve a piece with unsweetened tea, or offer the foam on the side so everyone can choose how much to add.
