Dondurma is the Turkish name for ice cream. Outside Turkey, it typically refers specifically to mastic ice cream, which is believed to originate from the city and region of Kahramanmaraş and is known as maraş dondurma in Turkish. This is made from cream, salep (the ground-up tuber of an orchid), mastic (plant resin), and sugar.
