Baklava is one of the most popular and common desserts in Turkey. This sweet and rich pastry is made of layers of phyllo dough, butter, and chopped nuts, such as pistachios, walnuts, or almonds, and is sweetened with syrup or honey. Baklava is typically cut into small diamond-shaped pieces and served with Turkish coffee or tea.

Other popular Turkish desserts include Turkish delight (lokum), which is a sweet confection made of gelatin, starch, and sugar, flavored with rosewater or other fruit essences, and dusted with powdered sugar or coconut flakes. Another dessert that is commonly consumed in Turkey is sutlac, which is a creamy rice pudding that is baked and topped with cinnamon.
