A light milk dessert built on four basic ingredients, sweetened without sugar. It has a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture, and the browned top gives it a flavor close to Turkish milk halva. A nice small treat to go with tea.
Method
Put the milk, sweetener, cornstarch and egg yolks into a saucepan while everything is still cold.
Whisk until completely smooth with no lumps.
Set the pan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens like a pudding.
Pour the thickened mixture into a dish and smooth the top.
Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 3 hours.
Sprinkle with cinnamon if you like.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 15–20 minutes, until the top browns; in an air fryer, 15 minutes at 160 °C is enough.
Let it cool, cut into four pieces and serve.

Tips
- Mixing everything thoroughly before heating prevents lumps, since the starch sets quickly once hot.
- A little cinnamon brings it even closer to the taste of Bursa-style milk halva.
- In the video, a strawberry version made with two scoops of strawberry-flavored powdered sweetener was the favorite.
FAQ
Can I use sugar instead of sweetener?
Yes. Replace the 20 g of sweetener with 40 g of sugar, keeping in mind the calories will go up.
Can I make it in an air fryer?
Yes, about 15 minutes at 160 °C does the job.
