Frequently Asked Questions About Mastic Keşkül
What is Mastic Keşkül?
Mastic Keşkül is a Turkish milk pudding flavored with mastic and commonly made with almonds. It is cooked until thick, portioned into bowls, then usually chilled and served as a dessert.
What does mastic taste like in Mastic Keşkül?
Mastic gives Mastic Keşkül a distinctive resinous, pine-like aroma with a gentle sweetness. Its flavor is concentrated, so using too much can overpower the almond and milk rather than make the pudding taste more fragrant.
How do you make Mastic Keşkül at home?
Mastic Keşkül is made by simmering milk with sugar, ground almonds, and a thickener until creamy. Crush the mastic with a little sugar before adding it, stir well, then pour the pudding into bowls to cool.
How is Mastic Keşkül different from sütlaç?
Mastic Keşkül is an almond-and-mastic-flavored milk pudding, while sütlaç is Turkish rice pudding. Sütlaç gets its characteristic texture from rice; Mastic Keşkül is thickened without relying on rice as its defining ingredient.
Why should you crush the mastic before adding it to Mastic Keşkül?
Crushing mastic before adding it to Mastic Keşkül helps it disperse instead of sticking together in chewy lumps. Grind it with a little sugar, which makes the resin easier to break up and mix into the pudding.
Why did my Mastic Keşkül turn lumpy?
Mastic Keşkül can turn lumpy if its thickener is added directly to hot milk or if the pudding is not stirred as it cooks. Mix the thickener smoothly with a cool portion of the liquid first, then whisk it into the pan.
Can you make Mastic Keşkül without almonds?
Yes, you can make Mastic Keşkül without almonds, but it will lose the nutty flavor and some of its characteristic body. The result will be closer to a mastic-flavored milk pudding than the almond-rich version.
How long does Mastic Keşkül keep in the refrigerator?
Mastic Keşkül keeps best refrigerated in covered bowls. Because it is a milk pudding, do not leave it sitting out for extended periods, and aim to enjoy it within a few days for the best texture.
Can Mastic Keşkül be frozen?
Freezing Mastic Keşkül is not recommended. Thawing can make its milk-based texture separate or turn grainy, so refrigerate it instead and serve it chilled.
What do you serve with Mastic Keşkül?
Mastic Keşkül is usually served on its own, with a light garnish such as sliced almonds or pistachios. Turkish tea or coffee also pairs well with its creamy texture and fragrant mastic flavor.

What is Mastic Keşkül?
Mastic keşkül is a traditional Turkish milk pudding, gently scented with mastic and enriched with ground almonds. Milk and sugar form its sweet base, while rice flour or starch gives it a soft, spoonable set. Served chilled, it has a delicate, creamy texture and a distinctive resinous aroma; chopped nuts may be scattered on top.
In Turkey it is commonly enjoyed after a meal or bought from a pastry shop, and it also makes a fitting dessert at iftar. It provides some protein from the milk and almonds, but is chiefly a sweet, carbohydrate-rich pudding with little fibre. For a lighter finish, serve a modest bowl and keep the topping simple.
