Mosaic Cookies
Mosaic cake in Turkey is a recipe passed down from generation to generations. It is an easy dessert that has been prepared at home for centuries and used for celebrations or simply as a treat. The no-bake cake is a rich, chocolatey mixture combined with broken biscuits and candied fruit which create a mosaic-like pattern when sliced. At Dalida, we serve mosaic cake to celebrate our guests’ important life events and we have re-imagined it as a cookie that can be shared and gifted for the holiday season.
