The Story and Recipe of "Höşmerim" a beloved cheese dessert in my Hometown
Every region has its own cousine and own story. Turkey was really poor at that time because Ottoman Empire was just transforming in to the Turkish Republic and There was War of Independence going on in many fronts. So the tale starts like this a soldier came to home with peace and joy after he completed his duty to country.
After all those year his return to home made his wife joyful. How couldn't she not be joyful after all his beloved husband was back. After a little talking session she decided to make a table for her husband. Sadly there was not enough ingredients in the fridge. When she was thinking what should she do She saw the fresh cheese and she decides to prepare something out of
cheese.
She starts to cook the cheese in low heat and She puts inside whatever she can find at the home. Sugar , Semolina and Egg Yolk. After cooking a little she was pleased what she saw and smell then She serves this desert to her husband and asks him "Hoş mu Erim ?" It is something like is it good my husband ? in Turkish language. When people narrate this story from mouth to mouth our beloved desert Hoş mu erim ? eventually become Höşmerim.
It was my nightmare because everytime when I go outside my small city everyone was asking Do you bring Höşmerim ?
You can serve this deserve with almonds , ice cream , cream , walnut

Hikayesi güzel bir tatlı. Tarif ve yazı için teşekkürler. Elinize sağlık. Hoşmerimi severim ama kendim yapmayı hiç denemedim belki bundan sonra bu tarife göre bir deneme yapabilirim.. Balıkesire gittiğimde tattığım bir tatlıdır höşmerim. Çok güzeldir tadı, çok da hafiftir. Portakallısını yapanlar olduğunu duymuştum. Birkaç çeşidi denk geldi, en son antep fıstıklısını denemiştim. Sanırım Konyalılar da kaymaklı ve ballısını yapıyorlar. Her şehirin tarifi kendine göre farklılık gösteriyormuş. Ama hangisi daha güzel bilmiyorum :)
Mmmmmh... It looks so tasty. Thank you, I will try that at home! :D
Ülkede herkes baklavaya künefeye odaklandı. Kuzeybatı yörelerinin peynir tatlıları hak ettiği ilgiyi göremiyor diye düşünüyorum.
Paylaşım için teşekkürler. :)
Peynir tatlısı candır ya hafif tatlıları daha çok seviyorum ben ben teşekkür ederim
