Plain Cream Block – 1 kg

Plain cream is the essence of Maraş ice cream: it contains nothing but goat's milk, pure salep and sugar. The milk is boiled in a cauldron and thickened with salep and sugar, then beaten with long-handled paddles as it cools in the ice cream vat. Beating gives the ice cream density rather than air, which is why Maraş ice cream is cut with a knife and eaten with a knife and fork.

How to serve the block

• Take it out of the freezer and leave it at room temperature for 8–10 minutes.
• Cut 1.5–2 cm slices with a sharp knife dipped in hot water.
• Serve on a plate with a knife and fork, with pistachios on top if you like.

Shipping and storage

After production the blocks are hardened in a -25 °C blast freezer and shipped in an EPS box with dry ice. At home they keep for 6 months at -18 °C; do not refreeze ice cream that has thawed.
