Cezerye

Cezerye is a semi-gelatinous traditional Turkish confectionery made from caramelised carrots, shredded coconut, and roasted walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios. Cut into matchbox-sized rectangular chips and served on special occasions, it is commonly believed to be an aphrodisiac in its native eastern Mediterranean Turkish province of Mersin.

While variations on the treat exist which replace the carrot with fig or date purée, the name is nonetheless derived from the word "cezer", which means "carrot" in Arabic.
