What is this Turkish Desert?!


Question: What is this Turkish Desert?
A few years ago a foreign exchange student from Turkey came to live with my family and she would always make this desert that everyone loved, but we can't remember the name or exactly how to make it. The ingredients are- carrots, coconut shavings, some sort of cookie or cracker and possibly something else. She would shave the carrots in to thin slices (like graded cheese) and somehow mix it with the crushed cookies and then coat it with the coconut shavings. Do you know what it's called and any more specifics on how to make it? Thank you!

It is a kind of Yalanc? cezerye i.e. fake cezerye
( Cezerye is a Turkish desert but it's harder to do)

HAVU?LU TATLI TOPLAR ( Sweet Carrot balls)

4 orta boy havu? ( 4 normal size carrots)

1 su barda?? toz ?eker ( 1 glass of sugar)

1 paket vanilya, biraz tar??n ( a bit of vanilla, a bit of cinnamon)

1 paket sade petib?r bisküvi ( a package of biscuits)

K?y?lm?? ceviz i?i( some grated walnuts)

üzeri i?in:Hindistan cevizi( coconuts for smearing /coating)
===================
Yap?l??? ( How to do it)
===================
Havu?lar? soyup rendeleyelim.( wash and grate the carrots)

Bir tencereye al?p ?ekerle birlikte iyice yumu?ay?nca ve suyunu ?ekinceye kadar pi?irelim.( cook them with some water and the sugar until they become soft)

Vanilyas?n? ilave edip ufalad???m?z bisküvileride ilave edip iste?e g?re k?y?lm?? cevizde ekleyerek top ?ekli verelim. ( Add the other ingridients, knead all together to make a dough, make small balls out of the dough)

Hindistan cevizine bulay?p süsleyelim.) ( smear and coat with coconut)

It sounds like the Indian dessert called Guden Halwah, in the Arabic and Mediterranean country's they make the same desserts but throw in a different ingredient, if this is not right, just search under Turkish desserts in either Yahoo or Google, they will have 100's to choose from.
