An easy, yet delicious microwave version of the delicious classic treat we all know. With only a few ingredients and time needed this is an ideal make-it-any-time treat. This also makes for an ideal gift that can be wrapped up in a gift box of your choice and given as a enchanting and delightful gift.

Ingredients:

• 1 1\2 Cups water
• 1 Cup sugar
• 3 Tablespoons gelatin
• 3/4 Cups icing sugar
• 3/8 Cornflour
• Pinch of cream of tartar
• Teaspoon lemon essence

You'll also need...

• Large microwave safe bowl
• Bowl
• Tablespoon
• Teaspoon
• Measuring cups
• Cooking spray
• Glass tray (I used a 21 x 21 cm tray that was about 5 cm deep.)
• Knife

You might also need...

• Beater

Combine water, sugar and gelatin in a large microwave safe bowl. Mix lightly. Next microwave the mixture on high for 3:30 minutes. After microwaving it, stir it well till all the sugar is dissolved, then microwave it again till it starts boiling.

Combine icing sugar, cornflour and cream of tartar in a bowl. Stir it into the sugar syrup till it's thoroughly dissolved.

Note: You might need to use a beater to dissolve it completely.

After completing the previous step, microwave your mixture on high for about 3:00 minutes.

Note: Your mixture should be thick when you've done microwaving it.

After microwaving your mixture, blend in the lemon essence.

Note: You could also swap the lemon essence for rose water and add some pink food coloring.

Pour mixture into a lightly oiled glass tray and spread evenly. Refrigerate till firm.

You're almost there...

Cut it into cubes and dust it with some more icing sugar.

Enjoy your divine Turkish delight either by eating it as a delicious treat, or by giving it as a marvelous gift!
