Instructions
- 1
Put the milk, cream, and salt in a wide-bottomed pot.
- 2
Keep the mixture over very low heat for 55 minutes, until a thick kaymak layer forms on the surface, without letting it boil over.
55 min55:00 - 3
Remove the pot from the heat and let the skin settle at room temperature for 20 minutes.
20 min20:00 - 4
Carefully transfer the kaymak layer to a tray with a spatula.
- 5
Place the tray in a 120°C oven for 10 minutes, until the surface dries slightly.
10 min10:00 - 6
Cool the dried kaymak for 15 minutes, then cut it into small squares.
15 min15:00 - 7
Add honey and walnut kernels for serving and present it without waiting.
💡 Tip: Keep the milk in a wide pan over very low heat; when the thin skin forms by itself, the dried kaymak lifts off more neatly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kaymak kurusu in small squares as a dessert plate with honey, walnuts, and unsweetened Turkish coffee.
