A divine mixture of sugar, cornstarch, baked almonds and goat butter.
It is the traditional sweet of Serres. It looks a lot like Turkish delight but it has a unique and intense flavor.
They myth around this delicacy says that the Turks gave an order to the Greek stirring the hot mix to stir fast (AKA) and he tiredly answered yes (NAI).
But a more realistic explanation about the name is that it comes from the word Hakan that means prince.
And indeed akanes is a dessert for princes, as the Constantinopolitan ChatziBekirLokma filled with cream which the Turks called (H)akane halva.
