Kağıt Helva Arası Gelato

At Peyra Gelato Galata, right next to the Galata Tower in Beyoğlu, we’ve reimagined a beloved Turkish street classic into one of the best desserts in Galata. Our Kağıt Helva Arası Gelato (Wafer Sandwich with Gelato) takes two thin, round wafers and fills them with our creamy artisan ice cream. But the magic happens in the finishing touch: we cut the wafer sandwich in half and dip the edges into premium Antep pistachios, creating a crunchy, nutty crown for every bite.

This playful combination of crispy wafer, smooth ice cream, and roasted pistachios offers both nostalgia and innovation. It’s a handheld dessert that tourists love to enjoy while strolling through Taksim and Beyoğlu, making it one of the most photographed and talked-about sweets in Istanbul. Travelers searching for “ice cream Galata”, “best desserts at Taksim”, or “desserts near Galata Tower” will find this pistachio-coated creation irresistible.

Whether you choose classic pistachio ice cream, dark chocolate, or seasonal flavors, the Kağıt Helva Sandwich delivers a unique taste experience that stands apart from ordinary ice cream. It’s more than just a dessert it’s a cultural story of Istanbul, reinvented with artisan flair and the rich flavor of Antep pistachios.

If you’re looking for the best ice cream in Istanbul or a one-of-a-kind pistachio dessert, Peyra’s Kağıt Helva Arası Gelato is a must-try highlight near the Galata Tower.
