Frequently Asked Questions About Walnut-filled kerebic
What is walnut-filled kerebic?
Walnut-filled kerebic is a traditional Turkish semolina cookie filled with walnuts. It is commonly served with a distinctive white foam made from çöven root, which gives the dessert its characteristic presentation.
Where does walnut-filled kerebic come from?
Walnut-filled kerebic is especially associated with Mersin, a city in southern Turkey. Kerebic is popular there during Ramadan, but bakeries and home cooks make it at other times of year too.
What is the white foam served with walnut-filled kerebic?
The foam served with walnut-filled kerebic is traditionally made using an extract from çöven, a plant root, rather than being ordinary whipped cream. It adds a light, soft contrast to the semolina cookie.
How do you eat walnut-filled kerebic?
Walnut-filled kerebic is usually eaten with çöven foam spooned over or served alongside the cookies, often with a dusting of powdered sugar. Add the foam shortly before eating so the cookie keeps its texture.
Does walnut-filled kerebic foam contain egg whites?
Traditional çöven foam for walnut-filled kerebic is made with çöven-root extract and sugar, not egg whites. Recipes and commercial versions can differ, so the traditional foam should not be confused with meringue.
How is walnut-filled kerebic made?
Walnut-filled kerebic is made by wrapping walnut filling in semolina-based dough, shaping the pieces in a mold, and baking them. The çöven foam is prepared separately and added when the cookies are served.
How is walnut-filled kerebic different from ma'amoul?
Walnut-filled kerebic is a Turkish semolina cookie traditionally served with çöven foam. Ma'amoul is a different filled pastry found in several Middle Eastern cuisines, often made with a distinct dough and served without that foam.
Can walnut-filled kerebic be made with pistachios instead?
Yes. A pistachio-filled version of kerebic is also made, particularly in southern Turkey. The filling changes from walnuts to pistachios, while the semolina dough and traditional çöven-foam serving style may remain similar.
How should walnut-filled kerebic be stored?
Store walnut-filled kerebic without the foam in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keep the foam separate and add it just before serving, since it can soften the cookie.
Can you freeze walnut-filled kerebic?
Yes, walnut-filled kerebic can be frozen without its çöven foam. Thaw the cookies at room temperature and add freshly prepared foam for serving; the foam itself is not a good candidate for freezing.

What is Walnut-filled kerebic?
