- Publish date: Sunday، 01 December 2024 Last update: Wednesday، 19 February 2025
Kazandibi is a traditional Turkish dessert known for its unique caramelized, burnt-like crust and creamy texture. The name translates to "bottom of the pan," highlighting its distinct preparation. It is made with milk, sugar, and a thickening agent such as rice flour or cornstarch, cooked to a pudding-like consistency. The mixture is poured into a pan, where sugar is caramelized on the bottom, giving the dessert its signature browned surface. After setting, it is sliced and rolled or served as squares. Kazandibi is sweet, silky, and slightly smoky, offering a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
