Frequently Asked Questions About Plain Maraş cut ice cream
What is plain Maraş cut ice cream?

What is Plain Maraş cut ice cream?
Plain Maraş cut ice cream is the unflavoured version of the traditional ice cream associated with Kahramanmaraş in southern Turkey. It is traditionally made with milk, sugar and salep, which gives it its notably elastic, dense texture. Rather than being scooped, it is often sliced with a knife and served in pieces.
In Turkey, it is enjoyed as a refreshing summer dessert or after a meal; its plain style lets the milky flavour come through. It is a rich dairy dessert with some protein, but much of its energy comes from fat and sugar. For a lighter serving, have a smaller piece with fresh fruit, or enjoy it alongside coffee.
