Maraş Dondurma
Stretchy Turkish ice cream made with goat’s milk.
Maraş dondurma comes from Kahramanmaraş and is famous for its thick, springy texture, which it owes to salep, a flour made from orchid tubers. In this recipe, tara gum replaces the salep. Goat’s milk gives a bold, milky flavor, and gum arabic enhances the stretchy texture. Turkish vendors do tricks with this ice cream on a long stick; at home, a spoon will do.
