The ingredient that makes the ice cream stretchy, salep, can't be purchased readily outside of Turkey.
Supposedly, konjac flour which like salep is also rich in glucomannan, can be used as a substitute to make something very similar. There are some other recipes floating around that uses gellan gum or guar gum as well.
- treflop 2y agoCan't you buy salep online?
- can16358p 2y agoIt's very hard to buy genuine salep even in Turkey. Whatever is sold as "salep" everywhere is just some sugar powder perhaps just a little with actual salep as 100% salep is extremely expensive. If you find it, that will very likely be fake and would have nothing to do with actual salep.
- Semaphor 2y agoI make my own (low-carb) ice cream, and the mix of inulin and konjac flour does remind me a bit (not trying to emulate it, so it’s really only a bit) of the stretchy Turkish ice cream I've had at fairs.
