Finally I found a light dessert recipe that I liked. The pudding doesn't contain any sugar or fat! In fact I did not set my hopes up when I decided to prepare it but we really enjoyed it as soon as we got the first spoon.
I don't recommend you to taste before dressing though because it is practically tasteless!
Dressing turns it to be something else!
As for Pekmez dressing... It is something like molasses. I used a kind made of grapes. Since I didn't try any other grape molasses than Pekmez, I won't be of any help to tell you how similar they actually taste. For more information you can check Wiki (

I believe I could use this light pudding with some other sauces and dressings. I haven't tried yet. I update if I try any
