Supangle

Supangle, affectionately known as "sup" is a delightful Turkish chocolate pudding distinguished by its unique twist—a bottom layer filled with cake pieces. This rich dessert is often garnished with pistachios, coconut, and chocolate chips, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

The name "supangle" derives from the French phrase "soupe anglaise" which translates to "English soup." However, don't be misled by the name; supangle is quite different from the Italian dessert Zuppa Inglese, despite the etymological connection.

Preparing supangle is a straightforward yet rewarding process. You start by cooking milk, sugar, flour, and cocoa powder together, then add butter and chocolate for added richness. The base layer typically comprises cake, cookies, or biscuits—ideal for using up leftovers. Some variations of the recipe may also include eggs and a dollop of hazelnut chocolate spread like Nutella for additional decadence.

Once prepared, supangle is usually garnished with ground pistachios or shredded coconut and served cold. Recently, there has been a trendy twist to this classic dessert: serving it with a scoop of ice cream. Whether you adhere to the traditional recipe or experiment with the new variation, supangle is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
