Hi Charlotte,
Did you find the dairy free base you wanted? I was thinking of using Silk Full Fat Oat Milk, it seems to have nice body to it. I was also thinking of playing with Bird’s Custard Powder. So much experimentation and so little freezer space!

Hi Mark,

I haven’t tried it myself, and I’ve never evern tried Turkish ice cream, although I would love to try both!

I did look into it in some detail several years ago, and as far as I remember Salep, comes from an orchid bulb and is controlled and difficult to get hold of outside Turkey.

There was a decent looking recipe that used Guar instead of Salep, but I can’t find it anymore.

If you Google, you can find a few, but again, I haven’t tried them

It sounds like you’ve had some success, though, so feel free to post your basic recipe if you like.

Thanks!

Carl

I just came across your site and wanted to thank you for all the information. My Turkish wife and I go to Turkey every year and my favorite ice cream is Turkish ice cream. I like it because it is as hard as rock but very creaming at the same time. It’s so hard that the servers use a scoop that is about 2 feet long so they can use both arms to get a scoop.

I asked my wife why it was so hard and chewy and she said it is made with tree gum and salep. I had been making my own plain vanilla ice cream but after having the Turkish version I wanted to try adding the gum and salep and it has been successful for me and meets my taste. I wondered if you have any experience with gum and salep. The gum makes it chewy and the salep makes it hard.

Hi Melroy,

That depends on what ingredients you have in mind?!

If the other ingredients have a high water content, you can reduce the milk.

If the other ingredients contain lots of solids, you may want to reduce the SMP.

Cheers

Carl

How do you add other flavors to this recipe? Do I have to remove another ingredient?

Hi Charlotte,

I’m about to start experimenting with no sugar and reduced-sugar recipes. I think reduced-sugar ice creams are much easier to get right.

But check back in a couple of weeks: I should have something for you.

Cheers

Carl

I’m a little confused by the English conversion. I’m pretty sure the sweetened condensed milk is supposed to be LESS than a half cup. So maybe that was supposed to be 1/3 cup + 1 tsp? That’s what I used and I was very pleased with the results.

I’m searching for a DF vanilla ice cream base recipe [mild dairy allergy]. I’ve been using a canned coconut milk/cream combo that’s quite lovely. Would actually prefer a cooked custard type since I grew up with that and it adds to the science of the crystal formation. Also, a lower sugar content for medical reasons [could use fruit or honey]. Is this too much to request that you experiment with different ingredients? I’ve been experimenting with various recipes and not adding any sugar which doesn’t produce the results I’d enjoy. Thanks so very much1

Glad you like it Steve!

Just made it, I poured some extra condensed milk in right before freezing and it tastes amazing so far. I Just put it in the freezer.

Also, your blog has brought me back into the icecream game. Love the mixture of science and passion. Thank you!
