What is Kilis katmer dessert?
Kilis katmer dessert is a regional sweet from Kilis in southeastern Türkiye, made by layering very thin pastry with clotted cream, pistachios and sugar. Baking gives the pastry crisp edges while the filling stays soft and rich. The pistachios bring a fragrant, lightly nutty taste against the sweetness of the cream and dough.
In Türkiye it is served as a dessert or alongside tea, though katmer pastries are also enjoyed at breakfast in some parts of the country. With pastry, cream and sugar at its centre, it is energy-dense; pistachios contribute some protein and fibre. At 410 calories per 100 g, a smaller piece or sharing one makes a practical choice, especially after a substantial meal.
