  • Preparation: 250 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (213 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy

Ingredients

  • 120 g Milk, whole
  • 60 g Cream, heavy
  • 25 g Sugar
  • 8 g Cornstarch

Method

  1. Whisk the cornstarch into a splash of the cold milk until smooth.
  2. Heat the remaining milk with the cream and sugar in a pan until steaming, then whisk in the cornstarch mixture.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 5-6 minutes until noticeably thickened (traditional dondurma uses salep and mastic gum for its famously stretchy texture; this simplified version won't be quite as elastic but keeps the rich flavor).
  4. Cool completely, then churn in an ice cream maker, or freeze in a shallow container, beating well with a fork every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to keep it smooth.
  5. Freeze until firm, then serve in scoops.
