Milk dessert with kadayif and custard is a Turkish layered sweet made with soft milk pudding and kadayif, fine shredded pastry that is toasted for a little crunch. Unlike syrup-soaked kadayif desserts, it is not drenched in syrup: the pudding is creamy and mild, while the pastry adds a toasted note. In Turkey it is commonly served chilled after a meal or alongside tea, and it can also be made at home for a family dessert.
It is still a sweet, energy-dense treat, with most of its carbohydrates coming from the pudding and sugar; it provides 4.6 g of protein per 100 g. A modest serving with fresh fruit makes a good finish to a meal.
