Semi-gelatinous Turkish sweet made from caramelised carrots From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cezerye is a semi-gelatinous traditional Turkish dessert made from caramelised carrots, shredded coconut, and roasted walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios.[1][2] Cut into matchbox-sized rectangular chips, it is traditionally served on special occasions. It originated from the Turkish province of Mersin.[3] Grated carrots are boiled first and then roasted with sugar, coconut powder is spread on it, and pistachios, hazelnuts, peanuts or walnuts are put in it.
