Meşhur Sur Tatlısı ("Famous Walls of Dessert")

We were in a part of the city called Fatih today and ate at a restaurant that specializes in a dessert we had never seen or heard of before. We chose the restaurant because it was crowded and that's usually a good sign and now we know why. They have a dessert that if translated into English I think would mean the "famous walls of dessert." The outside is made of semolina halva - a kind of course wheat flour - with honey and cinnamon. The texture is almost like sweet chewy grits. Then inside is vanilla ice cream and strawberries. All I can say is I will be going back to have this again. Super delicious.
