Plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream gets its stretchy, chewy texture mainly from salep, a thickening ingredient made from orchid tubers, and the traditional kneading process. That texture is denser and more elastic than the soft, easy-to-scoop texture of many ice creams.
Not always. Goat’s milk is associated with traditional Maraş ice cream, but products may use other milk, including cow’s milk. The name and chewy texture alone do not tell you which milk a particular plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream contains.
Salep is a flour made from the tubers of certain orchids. In plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream, it thickens the mixture and contributes to the characteristic elastic texture. It is not the same ingredient as ordinary cornstarch, though recipes can differ.
Plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream can be firm and stretchy enough to cut rather than scoop easily. A knife and fork make it easier to portion and eat, especially when it is served in thick slices or as a dense slab.
Traditional plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream is made by combining milk, sugar and salep, then freezing and repeatedly working the mixture to develop its elastic body. Recipes and equipment vary, so a packaged version may not follow every traditional step.
You can make a frozen dessert without salep, but it will not have the same characteristic chew as plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream. Other thickeners can help create body, yet they do not reliably reproduce salep’s distinctive texture.
Pistachios, chopped nuts and fresh fruit pair well with plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream without covering its milky flavor. Serve toppings sparingly if you want to keep the chewy texture noticeable, or offer them on the side.
Let plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream stand briefly, just until it can be cut or portioned comfortably. It is naturally dense, so it may need a little more softening than a softer-style ice cream, but leaving it out too long makes it melt.
Yes, plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream is made with dairy milk and generally contains lactose. Salep does not remove the milk sugar, so people with lactose intolerance may experience symptoms; lactose-free dairy alternatives would be a different product.
If plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream has fully melted and stayed warm, discard it rather than refreezing it. Refreezing can also make its chewy texture icy and grainy. If it is still very cold and partly frozen, return it to the freezer promptly.

Plain semi-skimmed Maraş ice cream is a lighter, plain version of the traditional ice cream associated with Kahramanmaraş in southern Turkey. It is made with milk, sugar and salep, the wild-orchid tuber flour that gives it its characteristic body; the mixture is worked until dense and elastic.
Compared with many familiar ice creams, it is notably chewy and holds its shape well. In Turkey it is served in a cone or bowl, often as a summer treat, and vendors may cut or stretch it with a long knife. It is a sweet dessert with carbohydrates alongside some protein: a 100 g serving has 185 calories and 4.2 g of protein. For a lighter finish, choose a modest scoop and serve it with fresh fruit.
