Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours and 30 minutes
Servings: 8

Necessary ingredients:

- 1 liter of milk
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (150 g) flour
- 50 g margarine
- 100 g coconut (for the base of the roll)
- 100 g ground walnuts (for the filling)
- 1 packet of powdered cream (or 200 ml of plant-based cream)
- 1 cup (200 ml) milk (for the cream)
- 5 tablespoons of sugar (for caramelization)
- 1-4 packets of vanilla sugar (to taste)

Steps for preparing the Turkish roll:

1. Preparing the pudding: In a pot, combine the milk, sugar, flour, and margarine. It is essential to mix the ingredients well, starting with the sugar and flour, to prevent lumps from forming. Gradually add the milk while constantly stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, continuing to stir until you achieve a pudding-like consistency. Be careful not to let it stick to the bottom of the pot!

2. Preparing the base: Grease a large baking tray with a little oil or margarine and evenly sprinkle the coconut on the bottom of the tray. This will form a delicious and soft layer that will support the pudding.

3. Pouring the pudding: Once the pudding is ready, carefully pour it over the coconut layer. Use a spatula or spoon to spread it evenly, without disturbing the layer of coconut underneath. Let the pudding cool to room temperature.

4. Preparing the cream: If you chose to use powdered cream, mix it with the milk according to the instructions on the package. Alternatively, if you are using plant-based cream, whip it until fluffy. Here, you can add a packet of vanilla sugar for a richer taste.

5. Assembling the roll: Once the pudding has completely cooled, add the cream over the pudding, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle ground walnuts on top, adding extra texture and flavor. Now, let everything chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

6. Forming the rolls: After the mixture has set, take the tray out of the fridge. Using a knife, cut long strips from the pudding. Roll each strip with the help of a fork and your fingers, being careful not to squeeze the roll too tightly to avoid breaking it.

7. Caramelizing (optional): If you want to add extra flavor, you can caramelize 5 tablespoons of sugar in a pan until golden. Add the ground walnuts and mix quickly. Spread this mixture on aluminum foil and, once cooled, chop it finely. This can be used as a topping or filling for the roll.

8. Serving: Serve the Turkish rolls on a beautiful platter, possibly with a caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence. These rolls are wonderful alongside a cup of tea or coffee, turning each bite into an unforgettable experience.
