Why does my Turkish Delight have lumps?
If lumps form, it’s usually because the mixture wasn’t stirred continuously while cooking. Stir constantly to achieve a smooth texture.
Can I add nuts to the Turkish Delight?
Yes, you can add chopped nuts like pistachios or hazelnuts before pouring the mixture into the mold for an added crunch.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
This recipe is naturally vegan as it doesn’t contain any animal products.
Why did my Turkish Delight not set properly?
If it doesn’t set, it might need more cooking time. Ensure the mixture thickens well before removing it from the heat.
Can I use store-bought orange juice?
Freshly squeezed juice is recommended for the best flavor, but you can use store-bought as long as it’s pure juice with no added sugar.
What should the texture be like?
The texture should be chewy and slightly firm, not too sticky or overly hard.
Can I make this dessert without sugar?
The sugar is essential for the texture and taste. However, you can try using a sugar substitute designed for cooking, though results may vary.
