One of the world-renowned desserts of Turkish cuisine is baklava. Baklava is made either with pistachio or walnut. Turkish cuisine has a range of baklava-like desserts which include öbiyet, bülbül yuvas, saray sarmas, sütlü nuriye, and sar burma.
Kadaif ('Kadayf') is a common Turkish dessert that employs shredded yufka. There are different types of kadaif: tel (wire) or Burma (wring) kadayf, both of which can be prepared with either walnut or pistachio.
Although carrying the label "kadayf", ekmek kadayf is totally different from "tel kadayf" Künefe and ekmek kadayf are rich in syrup and butter, and are usually served with kaymak (clotted/scrambled butter). Künefe contains wire kadayf with a layer of melted cheese in between and it is served hot with pistachio or walnut.
