Ramadan: A Holiday for your sweet tooth

Tara Avunduk / August 11, 2011

 

Ramadan is not just about religion but also about tradition and getting together with loved ones. Whether or not you are religious, you can enjoy the delicious desserts and sweets that the festive month of Ramadan brings with it.

 

If you’re feeling colorful and cheery, try Beyaz Fırın’s macaroons, which are available in a variety of colors and flavors, or go for their fruit-flavored marzipans.

 

If you’d rather have an all-time favorite, get a box of Divan’s Turkish delight, or go for the Ramadan classic güllaç—a special Turkish dessert that is made of a thin sheet of filo dough, milk, and pomegranate. If you’re already a fan of the classic güllaç but want to take it one step further, taste Özsüt’s  güllaç that comes in different flavors like white chocolate, raspberry, and pistachio.

 

If you’re in fact a devout chocolate fan, then we suggest you try Vakko’s hurmalı chocolate (chocolate covered dates). Baylan also offers chocolates filled with cherry, nuts, and truffles. If you need to balance out all this sweetness with something salty, get some of Baylan’s chicken or zucchini mille-feuille with chester cheese.
