Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these goodies, and you’ll be on your way to creating something magical:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon rosewater
- 1/2 teaspoon citric acid
- A few drops of pink food coloring (optional)
- Chopped pistachios or coconut for garnishing (optional)
Instructions to Sweet Success
Now, let’s whip up this magical treat step by step:
- Start by mixing the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 cup of water until it’s smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the boiling sugar syrup, stirring constantly.
- Keep stirring and cook for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns into a gel-like consistency. You want it to be able to hold its shape.
- Add the rosewater, citric acid, and food coloring (if using). Stir it well to combine all those lovely flavors.
- Pour the mixture into a square dish lined with parchment paper, smoothing it out evenly. Let it sit at room temperature for about 4-5 hours or until it’s completely set.
- Once it’s firm, dust a cutting board or clean surface with the powdered sugar. Carefully remove the Turkish Delight from the dish, and cut it into small squares.
- Roll each piece in powdered sugar and garnish with chopped pistachios or shredded coconut if you want to add a little flair.
And there you have it! You just made Rose Turkish Delight that looks as good as it tastes. Serve these lovely squares to your friends and family or keep them all to yourself. No judgment here! Happy snacking!
