Salep Ice Cream
This ice cream is not sold anywhere else in the world. Its main ingredient - salep - is protected by Turkey and is not exported.

Muhallebi
A custardy dish that is best served cold on a hot summer day. These are among the rare types of guilt-free puddings made with starch and rice flour, and originally without any eggs or butter.
