2 piece (medium) of Turkish delight with clotted cream (40 g) has 136 calories. That works out to 340 calories per 100 g. It contains 30 g of carbs, 0.9 g of protein, 1.8 g of fat and 0.1 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 78 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Turkish delight with clotted cream combines soft lokum—a confection traditionally made with sugar and starch—with a rich kaymak filling. It is often cut into small pieces and may be lightly dusted with powdered sugar. The delight has a tender, slightly chewy bite, while the cream adds a smooth, buttery contrast.
In Turkey, it is served in modest pieces with Turkish coffee or tea and often offered to guests on festive occasions. Elsewhere, it works well as a small after-dinner sweet or alongside coffee. It is notably sugary, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrates, and provides little fibre or protein. Pair a piece with unsweetened tea or coffee to balance its sweetness.

Turkish delight with clotted cream is a soft, sweet lokum dessert paired with kaymak, a rich clotted cream. The cream may be layered between pieces or placed inside the lokum, depending on the style.
Turkish delight with clotted cream is made by combining a starch-and-sugar lokum base with kaymak. Makers may spread the cream between layers or use it as a filling; the exact method and shape vary by producer.
The clotted-cream version has a creamy, milky component that regular Turkish delight does not. That filling changes its taste and texture, and means it may need different storage and have a shorter shelf life than plain lokum.
Serve Turkish delight with clotted cream in small pieces, often alongside Turkish coffee or tea. Its rich sweetness also works on a dessert plate; follow the package’s serving guidance if the cream needs to stay chilled.
Turkish delight with clotted cream is strongly associated with Afyonkarahisar, a Turkish region known for kaymak. Lokum is enjoyed throughout Turkey, though, and versions of the cream-filled sweet are made beyond that region too.
Keep Turkish delight with clotted cream in a sealed container and follow the maker’s instructions about refrigeration. Unlike plain lokum, its dairy filling can be more sensitive to warmth, so avoid leaving it out for extended periods.
Turkish delight with clotted cream generally keeps for less time than plain Turkish delight because it contains kaymak. Use the date and storage instructions on the package; for homemade pieces, refrigerate them as appropriate and eat them promptly.
Freezing Turkish delight with clotted cream is not ideal: thawing can make the kaymak watery and alter the lokum’s soft texture. For the best consistency, buy or prepare an amount you can enjoy while it is fresh.
Discard Turkish delight with clotted cream if it has mold, an unusual sour smell, discolored cream, or another clear change in appearance. Because it contains dairy, do not eat it if it has been stored outside the stated conditions.
Turkish delight with clotted cream is a sugary sweet and can raise blood glucose. Anyone with diabetes should account for its portion in their eating plan; a clinician or dietitian can help with individual guidance, especially when medication is involved.
