Instructions
Preparing the Milk
- Place the milk and sugar in a medium-sized pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- Whisk occasionally, making sure the sugar dissolves and then take the pan off the heat.
- Let it cool down to room temperature before starting to layer the sheets.
Layering the Gullac
- Trim a Güllaç sheet to fit your serving dish size of 35cm x 25 cm (14" x 10") and lay it on the bottom, shiny side up.
- Pour a ladle of the milk mixture on top and wait until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Repeat the same with five sheets and then sprinkle on some nuts.
- Put the other five sheets on top of the nuts, making sure you soak each of them with sweetened milk.
- When you finish with the leaves, pour the rest of the milk on them.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate it for a couple of hours before garnishing and serving.
Garnishing and Serving
- Remove the dish from the fridge and portion the Gullac. I usually have 15 portions out of this recipe but you can have smaller or bigger portions if you prefer.
- Garnish your dessert just before serving as the white colour of Gullac might change when added pomegranate seeds or pistachio nuts.

Notes
- Make sure to bring the milk to room temperature before adding it to the gullac leaves to avoid the dessert getting soggy!
- You can keep the leftovers for up to five days refrigerated in an airtight container.
- I wouldn't recommend freezing Güllaç!
