Set the Turkish Delight:
Once thickened, wet the inside of a square or rectangular container with water (this prevents sticking) and pour the hot mixture into it. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Let the Turkish Delight cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours or overnight for the best texture.
Prepare for Serving:
Once set, remove the Turkish Delight from the refrigerator. Run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the container and turn it out onto a cutting board.
Sprinkle coconut flakes on a flat surface. Cut the Turkish Delight into small squares and roll each piece in coconut flakes to coat.
Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy this sweet, chewy treat with Turkish coffee or tea. It’s a delightful dessert that everyone will love!
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of Turkish coffee or black tea for a traditional experience.
You can also dust with powdered sugar instead of coconut if you prefer a different coating.
