How is plain Bafra ice cream different from Maraş ice cream?

What is Plain Bafra ice cream?
Plain Bafra ice cream comes from Bafra, in Turkey’s Samsun province. Traditionally made with milk and salep, it has a simple dairy flavour rather than added fruit or chocolate, and salep gives it a dense, slightly stretchy texture.
In Turkey it is commonly served in a cone or bowl as a summer treat, or enjoyed after a meal. Its 4.1 g of protein per 100 g gives it some nutritional substance, but it is still a sweet dessert with plenty of carbohydrates.
