Ülker Biskrem is the crunchy Turkish biscuit with a smooth cocoa cream centre that generations grew up on. Two crisp halves are sandwiched around a soft chocolate-hazelnut filling, so every bite gives you the snap of the biscuit and the melt of the cream at the same time. It is one of Turkey's most recognised snacks, and the kind of thing Turkish households keep in the cupboard for tea time, lunchboxes, and the afternoon coffee break. Ülker first made Biskrem in 1991, and it was the very first filled biscuit the company ever produced. It became a sensation almost overnight and has stayed a staple on Turkish shelves ever since. Ülker itself was founded in 1944 in Istanbul by the brothers Sabri and Asım Ülker, and Biskrem is one of the names that built its reputation as Turkey's biggest biscuit maker. The cocoa cream filling is rich with cocoa and hazelnut, which is what gives Biskrem its familiar chocolate-nut flavour. The biscuit is made on a wheat base, and it is designed to be sturdy enough to dunk: a few seconds in tea, coffee, or cold milk softens the biscuit and warms the cream without it falling apart. How people eat it: straight from the pack as an everyday snack, dunked in Turkish tea or coffee, crumbled over ice cream or yoghurt, or packed into a child's lunchbox. It travels well and keeps its crunch, which is part of why it has stayed popular for more than thirty years. Choose the pack that fits you. The 2-piece option (100g each) is the easy way to try Biskrem or keep a small stash. The box of 18 (100g each) is for households that go through it fast, for sharing, or for anyone who would rather stock up once than re-order often. Allergen note: contains wheat, milk, soy, egg, and hazelnut, and may contain other tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame. Always check the on-pack label for the most current ingredient and allergen information.
