A light, refreshing dessert from Malatya, made by simmering dried apricots in sugar water until tender, then filling them with kaymak and walnuts. Served chilled, it brings together the apricots’ natural sweetness and kaymak’s creamy texture.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the apricots

25 min

Simmer the dried apricots in sugar water over low heat until tender but still intact.

2

Drain and cool

15 min

Drain the apricots and leave them to cool completely.

3

Fill with kaymak

10 min

Make a small slit in one side of each apricot and fill it with kaymak.

4

Garnish with walnuts and serve

10 min

Sprinkle the stuffed apricots with chopped walnuts and serve chilled.

Reminder

Allergens: contains milk (kaymak) and walnuts. Important: Do not let the apricots boil over as they simmer. If overcooked, they can fall apart and will not hold the kaymak filling, so keep the heat low and check them occasionally.
