Dilber Duda_ı is a traditional Turkish dessert known for its sweet, rich flavor and delicate texture. The name "Dilber Duda_ı" translates to "Lady's Lips" in English, which is a reference to the dessert's shape and appearance.

Ingredients and Preparation

Dilber Duda_ı is made using a combination of phyllo dough, walnuts, sugar, and butter. The preparation involves layering thin sheets of phyllo dough, brushing them with melted butter, and sprinkling finely chopped walnuts between the layers.

The pieces are baked until golden brown and then soaked in a sweet syrup made from sugar and water. This syrup gives the dessert its characteristic sweetness and moist texture.
