İncir uyutması

The name of this traditional Turkish fig pudding translates as sleeping figs. It comes from the tradition of soaking figs in warm milk and then letting them rest overnight so the dish can be enjoyed the next morning for breakfast. İncir uyutması are usually served drizzled with molasses and sprinkled with chopped walnuts.

Today, the sleeping figs are also often enjoyed as a dessert, though a version called teleme has been a typical goat herders' snack for centuries before, particularly in northeastern Anatolia.
