Free UK Delivery on Eligible Orders Traditional Kaimaki Ice Cream Recipe This traditional egg-free greek style ice cream that's has been eaten for centuries. Both on its own or with baklava and kataifi based sweet treats. What makes it unique is its stringy texture that comes from the addition of Salep. Throughout most of Greece, this ice cream is called Kaimaki ice cream, a word rooted in the Turkish word, "Kaimak" and no doubt referring to the cream in this ice cream.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have kaimaki ice cream using 6 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Kaimaki ice cream:

1. Get 1 l full fat milk
2. Prepare 250 ml heavy cream
3. Prepare 1 cup sugar + 2 tbsp sugar
4. Get 2 tbsp pure salep powder
5. Prepare 3 mastic grains
6. Prepare 1 tbsp orange flower water

Other ingredients are cream and sugar, no eggs. Even if it melts, Kaimaki has always a creamy consistency. Pour the milk and sugar in a saucepan and heat it, taking care that it won't boil. Pour a little of the hot milk, mastic crushed, salep and vanillas in another saucepan and mix them well, so as to dissolve the salep.

Instructions to make Kaimaki ice cream:

1. Take a small pot and fill it halfway with milk.
2. Place the rest of the milk in a pot together with the heavy cream, add one cup of sugar and place the pot over moderate heat to boil, mixing with a wooden spoon.
3. Place the small pot over moderate heat as well and when it starts getting tepid add the 2 tbsp of salep. Mix until it dissolves, preferably with a whisk to avoid lumps and then add it to the larger pot after the mixture in it has boiled for a couple of minutes. Continue to stir at regular intervals.
4. Blend the mastic grains with 2 tbsp of sugar in a food processor for a few seconds and add them to the mixture stirring until it dissolves.
5. Turn down the heat and simmer without stirring until a layer of kaimaki -kind of cream with the consistency of a pudding- forms (it won't take more than 20 minutes).
6. Remove the pot from heat, move the mixture into a metal container and place it in a slightly larger baking dish that you have filled with water and ice cubes. Stir softly and when the mixture chills add the orange flower water. Cover the metal container with a lid and place in the fridge overnight.
7. Move the mixture to the ice cream maker that you have already prepared according to the instructions of the manufacturer. When the ice cream has thickened adequately (it won't thicken completely in the ice cream maker but in the freezer) move it once more to a metal container and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze thoroughly for a few hours.
8. Before you serve it place it in the fridge for at least 15 minutes so that it softens a little bit.

Pour the milk and sugar in a saucepan and heat it, taking care that it won't boil. Pour a little of the hot milk, mastic crushed, salep and vanillas in another saucepan and mix them well, so as to dissolve the salep. This fabulous, creamy ice cream calls for gum mastic, that gives it an almost chewy texture, and salep, used as a thickening agent. Both give the ice cream a unique taste. In the Adjara region of Georgia, bordering Turkey, კაიმაღი or kaimaghi is made from cow's milk in homes in the mountainous municipalities of Keda, Shuakhevi, and Khulo.
