Mastic ice cream is a special kind of ice cream.
It's known for being super stretchy and sticky!
This unique texture comes from a special ingredient called "Mastic".
Mastic is a natural gum, like a resin, that comes from a tree called Pistacia lentiscus.
Besides mastic, these ice creams often use ingredients like Salep (a type of flour from orchid roots) or cornstarch, and rose water.
These ingredients, especially the mastic resin, give the ice cream its unique stretchy feel.
Mastic ice cream first came from Turkey.
It was invented during the time of the Ottoman Empire, about 300 years ago!
In Turkey, this ice cream is called "Dondurma".

We called it in our 2025 Hospitality Trends Report: Turkish cuisine is having a moment—and dondurma (aka Turkish stretchy ice cream) is what’s coming next.
Not because it’s new—it’s been around for centuries—but because it delivers a texture most Americans have never expe…

Dondurma is the Turkish name for ice cream.
Dondurma is commonly sold from both street vendors' carts and store fronts, where the mixture is churned regularly with long-handled paddles to keep it workable.
Vendors often perform magic tricks and practical jokes, with examples including presenting the ice cream cone on a long stick or pole, and then taking away the dondurma by rotating it around, or serving it with an extra cone that comes away from the actual cone when the stick is lifted.
The popularity of salepli dondurma has caused a decline of wild orchids in the region and led to a ban on exports of salep.
As of 2010, the average rate of consumption in Turkey was 2.8 liters of ice cream per person per year.
A distinct variation of dondurma is also consumed in Greece, especially in the north of the country, where it is called "dudurmas" or "kaimaki".
Dondurma is typically made from cream, salep, mastic, and sugar.
The Kahramanmaraş region is known for Maraş dondurması, a variety which contains distinctly more salep than usual.
Two qualities distinguish Turkish ice cream: hard texture and resistance to melting, brought about by inclusion of the thickening agents salep, a flour made from the root of the early purple orchid, and mastic, a resin that imparts chewiness.
