Turkish Rose Milk Pudding Güllaç - featured image
Print Recipe

A fragrant, silky Turkish dessert featuring rose-infused milk soaked into delicate güllaç sheets, creating a creamy, floral pudding that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Güllaç sheets (thin, dried starch-based sheets)
  • 4 cups (950 ml) whole milk
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rose water
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pistachios (optional)
  • Dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until warm but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract, whisking continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Remove from heat and gently stir in the rose water.
  4. Tear the güllaç sheets into pieces that fit your dish size.
  5. In a shallow heatproof dish, layer the güllaç sheets and pour warm rose milk over them slowly, allowing each layer to absorb the liquid. Let soak for about 5 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  6. Alternate layers of soaked güllaç with a light sprinkle of chopped nuts if using. Optionally, add a spoonful of thick yogurt or clotted cream between layers.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors meld and texture set.
  8. Garnish with extra nuts and dried rose petals before serving. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use food-grade natural rose water for best flavor. Avoid overheating milk to prevent skin formation. Do not oversoak güllaç sheets to maintain texture. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Can substitute phyllo sheets if güllaç sheets are unavailable but texture will differ.
