What is Sütlac?

Sütlac is a popular dessert in Turkish cuisine. It is a rice pudding that is spread on heat-resistant bowls after cooking and baked in the oven.

Round grain rice is used for its preparation. Traditional Turkish rice pudding tastes quite sweet. It is often flavored with cinnamon or vanilla.

Which rice should I use for Sütlac dessert?

Round grain rice is best for the Sütlac recipe, just as it is for the rice quark casserole with apples. It has a high starch content, which gives the dessert a creamy and thick consistency. You can use any type of round grain rice for this.

How to enjoy and store

Turkish rice pudding is ideal for dessert after a meal, alongside the vanilla pudding and the vegan chocolate mousse. You can also serve it for breakfast, just like the Guryevskaya kasha or the chia pudding. It tastes delicious both warm and cold.

Keep any leftovers covered in the fridge. The rice pudding can be kept for up to three days.

Toppings for serving

You can also spice up the Sütlac dessert with various toppings, similar to the frozen yogurt. For example, sprinkle it with cinnamon and other spices directly before serving instead of stirring them into the rice porridge.

Turkish rice pudding also tastes delicious with a fruit, chocolate or caramel sauce. Fresh fruits and roasted nuts also go very well with it.
