صحراء شيلك

Şilke is a traditional dessert from Adıyaman, made from a base of bulgur wheat or semolina mixed with sugar, butter, and water. The mixture is cooked until thickened, then flavored with cinnamon or cloves and sometimes garnished with nuts like walnuts or almonds. The result is a dense, slightly grainy dessert that is both sweet and aromatic. Şilke is often enjoyed warm, particularly during the colder months, and is a favorite treat during religious holidays and family celebrations. This dessert showcases the region’s love for simple, comforting sweets that are rich in flavor and tradition.
