A traditional Maraş ice cream made with salep and mastic, famous for its dense, elastic texture that can be cut with a spoon. Whipped patiently and frozen, this recipe is the way to capture that muhallebi-shop taste at home.
Put the milk in a pot and start heating it over medium heat. Move to the next step before it boils, once steam starts rising from the edges.
Mix the salep, sugar, and powdered mastic together dry beforehand, then add to the milk without leaving lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about fifteen minutes until it thickens and coats the spoon.
Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally; cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Important: Transfer the mixture to a deep container and place in the freezer. For the first three hours, take it out every forty-five minutes and beat vigorously with a mixer or spatula; this breaks up the ice crystals and gives it an elastic texture.
After the final beating, let the ice cream harden in the freezer for at least three more hours. Before serving, soften at room temperature for a few minutes and serve sliced with a spoon.
Important: Dondurma's (Turkish ice cream) famous stretchy texture depends on whipping it several times while freezing; each whipping breaks up the ice crystals and creates the creamy consistency. Contains dairy (milk); gluten-free since it contains no flour or wheat products. Salep and mastic gum can be obtained from herbalists.
If you crush the mastic with a pinch of sugar in a mortar into a powder before adding it, it dissolves in the milk without clumping and distributes its aroma evenly to every spoonful.

Bende biraz kurudu, muhtemelen fazla pişirdim. İlk denemede pişirme kabını yanlış seçtim, altı yapıştı.
Kuruması muhtemelen fazla pişirmeden kaynaklanıyor, süreyi biraz kısaltmayı deneyin.
İlk denememde biraz tedirgindim ama sonuç harika oldu.
Annemin yıllardır yaptığı tarife çok benziyor, nostaljik oldu.
