Monday, April 24, 2006 - Goat's Milk Ice Cream

Posted in Goats

Just made my first ever goat's milk ice cream. It turned out pretty good! We have a little 1-1/2 quart electric ice cream maker that in the past we have used somewhere between seldom and occasionally. With plenty of fresh pastured goat's milk and grass-fed chicken eggs this spring, this is a great treat! Maybe that little gadget will see more use over the next few months (my kids can only hope).

I used a recipe that came with the ice cream maker's manual, but I changed it all around. It was just all wrong. Here's what I whisked together to pour into this handy-dandy little appliance:

3-1/4 c. goat's milk
1/4 c. maple syrup
1/4 c. honey
3 egg yolks
1/8 tsp. Real Salt
1 Tbsp. vanilla

It makes wrestling a goat totally worthwhile.

I had been told that Goat milk is naturally homogaenized, and therefore was a REAL pain to get cream for ice cream and butter. not true? different goats?
thanks!

Goat milk is sort of "naturally homogenized", but it is so creamy in general that it works. My "regular" ice cream recipe calls for some cream, and some milk, so I combined the two amounts together, and just added that much whole goat milk.
