Never saw anyone do that with puff pastry! Genius!

[@lesleyfahrenkamp711]

Me neither! Looks scrumptious right?!?

[@AnnaF33]

In my country we do this 😂

[@roshacyrus2355]

I watched 15 videos for making yogurt cake and this one is so much better than the rest of them! Thank you

[@danieleloubert7526]

I love your video so much because you are not perfect and you don’t try to be either. We all make mistakes and this is ok. Love you sharing your tips. This look so fantastic!

[@gi8253]

I used to watch her videos when I was in a bad mood haha

[@pelinsumen4422]

She is a very popular and creative chef in Turkey

[@Trenchant468]

Looks great. I may try it with corn flakes and cashew coconut yoghurt to make it gluten and dairy free. Love your personality, delivery, and food.

[@WolfsToob]

OMGosh! This looks amazing, and I love that it’s way less fat! I am definitely making this at the next big family pot luck. I wish I could add 1000 more likes! 👍❤️🥧

[@maggiewickwire2936]

You are truly a magician in the kitchen. Beautiful and amazing yogurt cake/pie! Oh, the things you can do! 😊❤

[@Refika]

Thank you 🙏🏻♥️

[@sharakirkby2744]

Beautiful dish. I’ve never seen this type of crust used this way, great idea!🎉

[@AnnaF33]

In my country we do this from ages

[@majuss06]

I was recently gifted a Norwegian cookbook with recipes from Turkey and The Middle East by Vidar Bergum. It has photos by Bahar and they are just gorgeous. So if Bahar tells you to use that bowl and not the one from Ikea you do as Bahar says. She knows what she is doing 😄

[@amateurepicurean8168]

Refika (and lovely team) what a delicious looking dessert, especially for spring. Light and airy and refreshing!! We can't wait to try this and to see if our guests can know that its healthy! Bayramınız kutlu olsun. İyi Bayramlar to all who celebrate! Be well and stay safe!!

[@tommy92vercetti]

Süper duruyor. İngilizceniz de çok tatlı

[@BrooklynGirl1723]

This yogurt based cheesecake looks amazing!

[@mickleblade]

I made this yesterday and it was great. I'll make small changes next time. 1) use a pan with a removable bottom, 2) use standard pastry, the filo isn't worth it, 3) be careful not to over beat the egg white, 4) reduce quantities a bit, Refika's pan must be huge! I used the left overs to make a 2nd smaller one.

[@michele6228]

She used puff pastry, not phyllo

[@mickleblade]

@@michele6228 maybe so, but it's a load of extra work, mess and cost for no reason. A great cake though

[@ppw8716]

This looks so beautiful and I can just imagine taking a bite the fluffiness n light crunch from the puff pastry.

[@user-vr4dm8jb3q]

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely recipes, you really are a genius in the kitchen, I've learnt alot from you, I'm not turkish but you've inspired me to try Turkish cuisine, keep it up. Love from Southern Africa.❤

[@lauraellen189]

This is a beautiful dessert from bottom to top!!!

[@maryglidden2943]

Love your channel ...don't feel you need to be "professional ". Who says what professional is anyway....you are very real and i think that is what professional should be!! Congratulations on your 1st grandbaby! Your life is changed forever with these little gifts from our Father!

[@alainaaugust1932]

Isn’t professional well experienced? You can achieve that by going to culinary school and practicing. Or by spending hours and hours and days and days in your kitchen. Oh, and by not being afraid to experiment.

[@ismata3274]

Grandbaby?

[@roblatchford5923]

Hi Refika. Thanks for sharing your recipe, I’ll be making that for sure. People at work always ask for the burnt basque cheesecake. I’m sure this will be one of their favourites too. I’m glad you enjoyed vanilla from NZ. I will bring you some more when I’m over again.

[@1008tantan]

Thats nice🍀

[@trishasingh3950]

Love the idea of the yogurt filling! I think I’ll try it with a graham cracker base instead.

[@marleneroux6784]

From South Africa we loove cheesecake I'm definitely going to make it. 😂❤ Thank you 🎉

[@gozdeiremsar1791]

[@ladybuggriffis2299]

Your recipe look amazing..your videos are so good and fun to watch..thank you for all you do..I haven’t seen Borek in the videos for a bit hope he is well…be safe and God bless!🦬🐞🐢

[@melenelewis2955]

Oh,oh,oh ....this Must be Heaven sent! I just Have to try this recipe! Refika must be the Best cook in the Whole World! .......and I am not even Turkish🙃 ....I wish I was now! 😁

[@rosharnwalker7366]

This makes perfect sense in that I make cream cheese by continuing the straining process for my yogurt longer than normal until it is fairly firm and then pressing it to a block. This being said, this should be fantastic.

[@Arya-cf7vu]

Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing!

[@dafnahaliwa566]

Looks beautiful! I will be making this cake for our Shavuot festival. Thankyou!!

[@anamoragne-rq5ju]

So love that you, shared this. Yum

[@cendrillor46]

OMG ! YUMMY ! 🤤🤤🤤I have to try this one !!

[@Fiola_M]

I binged your videos on tv. Great production quality! Love Bahar & Burak. You are so fun to watch. You make turkish cuisine look less labour intensive! You are also creative. Do you have your own restaurant in istanbul?

[@vyvienvp3413]

Delicious. Thank you. When I saw you grating strips of puff pastry to put on top of the mixture, it reminded me of some English puff pastry tarts, where you fill with jam/compot, much like yours. Then drizzle a little layer of loose, runny icing layer, to cover and top with grated coconut long strips. I think you bake the mille-feuille tart bases first, before assembling the other ingredients.

[@tahirafauzia8797]

Excellent Rafika👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. I make this kind of 'yogurt' cheesecake, but the addition of the meringue is the game changer. I'll definitely be trying it. Thanks again👍🏽

[@HurairaHerbals]

This is sort of like mabroosheh but with cheesecake. Very nice idea

[@AnaMillsaps]

Ohhh my goodness!!! thank you so much for this recipe, my mold was smaller and yes is a bit difficult to take it out but the kids (grown) just loved it didn't mind the slices were not like in the picture. just fantastic!!!

[@LA-oz7yt]

That cake looks amazing!! Can't wait to make it!

[@Momzie808]

I use my used up vanilla pods to make vanilla extract, I used to put it in sugar but the vanilla extract is totally use of the pod! I never grated puff pastry, very interesting!

[@user-jo8lg7ou7n]

I love your videos and thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. It looks great and I love that it is much lighter than cheesecake. I am definitely going to make this at home!
