Turkish Pumpkin Dessert (2 Ingredients) & Local Street Bazaar In Istanbul

Turkish Pumpkin Dessert is a traditional Turkish dessert from Ottoman times. It is still a very popular dessert in the wintertime. With containing only two ingredients, pumpkin and sugar you get the pure delicious taste of pumpkin to enjoy. It is served with coarsely chopped walnuts and the syrup from the dessert. In some parts of Turkey, it is also served with drizzled tahini on top and it goes very well with it too. Even though I forgot to mention that in the video I strongly suggest you try drizzling some tahini (sesame paste) if you have on hand.
