Chocolate Goat Milk Ice Cream Recipe

Goat milk ice cream is delicious!

Sometimes goat milk can have a strong “goat-y” flavor. Some people like it and some people don’t.

We have dairy goats. I’ve seen the reaction on some people’s faces when they tried it for the first time.

With this ice cream recipe, you won’t subject yourself or your friends to that strong goat flavor.

Goat Milk Ice Cream Recipe

Finding Goat Milk

If you don’t have the luxury of your own goats in your own backyard, don’t worry! Goat milk is easy to find.

Most grocery stores stock Goat Milk.

It’s right beside the regular cow’s milk in my grocery store, but some stores may stock it in the alternative milk section.

Whatever the case, it shouldn’t be hard to find. Goat Milk is often tolerated by some people whose body cannot handle dairy.

I love having my own supply of goat milk right out my back window.

As an avid ice cream maker, I can never have enough milk, folks.

Look at this little cutie who was just born a couple of weeks ago.

Easy Goat Milk Ice Cream

In order to produce goat milk, a goat has to have babies every year.

Making Variations of This Ice Cream

This is a recipe for Chocolate Chocolate Goat Milk Ice Cream, but you could easily make it into plain vanilla. Simply leave the chocolate out.

I really like the texture of this ice cream. It is soft and silky.

This was my first taste of ice cream with goat milk.

I thought it was delicious.

Serving Tip:

If you want to add a little bit of flair to your scoop of ice cream, you can garnish with shaved chocolate.

Tutti Frutti Goat Milk Ice Cream Recipe

This goat milk ice cream recipe is a deliciously fun ice cream recipe.

You should give it a try! Let us show you how to make this ice cream from goats milk!

Fruit Goat Milk Ice Cream Recipe

Just What Is Tutti Frutti Ice Cream?

Tutti frutti ice cream flavor – what’s that? It’s a delicious goat milk ice cream base with cherries and pineapples mixed in to produce a delightfully fresh flavor.

You’ll savor every bite!

Making a Pink Ice Cream

For a nice pink color, and more flavor, substitute the cherry juice for some of the milk.

This will, however, result in a slightly harder ice cream because you are substituting a watery substance (cherry juice) for a more fatty liquid (milk). One of the reasons that ice cream is smooth and creamy is because of the fat content in the milk.

If you would like to have the pink color (but not the extra cherry flavor) without sacrificing the texture of the ice cream, simply add a bit of food coloring instead.

Tutti Frutti Goat Milk Ice Cream

Chill the Fruit

This recipe calls for a jar of maraschino cherries and a can of crushed pineapples.

It’s a good idea to chill the fruit before adding it to the ice cream.

The fruit is added during the last 5 minutes of churning when the ice cream is mostly hardened.

If you add fruit at room temperature, the fruit will warm up the ice cream and the ice cream will not freeze as fast.

One of the keys to a smooth and creamy ice cream is freezing time.

The faster the ice cream freezes, the better the texture of your ice cream.

So help the process by chilling the fruit before adding it to your ice cream.

Serving Tip

Garnish this goats milk ice cream with whole cherries and pineapple chunks!

Gingerbread Ice Cream Recipe

This Gingerbread ice cream recipe results in ice cream that is full of flavor.

If you like the spicy goodness of gingerbread cookies, this ice cream flavor is sure to be a treat during the holidays!

Gingerbread Ice Cream Recipe

What would Christmas be without the smell of gingerbread wafting through the air tantalizing our taste buds?!

Gingerbread

Gingerbread has been enjoyed in some form since before the year 1000.

This dessert has history, folks!

Gingerbread was part of German Christmas tradition and was popularized to the rest of the world by Queen Victoria.

The love of gingerbread at Christmas times continues to this day.

What better way to enjoy the flavor of this Christmas treat, than by combining that flavor with the creaminess of ice cream?

 

Easy Gingerbread Ice Cream

Adjusting to Taste

This recipe produces a delicious ice cream with the all the glory of gingerbread.

Gingerbread can be too strong of a flavor for some folks.

Yes, there are some that don’t like gingerbread or gingerbread cookies because the flavor is too strong.

So, I suppose when it comes to gingerbread, “delicious-ness is in the mouth of the taster!”

I think this ice cream is perfect as is, but if you would like to have a less strong gingerbread flavor – simply cut back a bit on the spices.

You can always add more spice later, but it is hard to take the spices out of the ice cream base after you put it in.

Gingerbread Ice Cream

Serving Tip

Place one scoop of ice cream in a shallow dish. While the ice cream is still hard, quickly press a cookie stamp into the scoop of ice cream to create a decorative image.

Easy Ginger Ice Cream Recipe

Here’s an easy ginger ice cream recipe that’ll be the perfect complement to any hot fruit dessert.

Ginger Ice Cream Recipe

 

Easy to make and, oh, so good! Pair it with a tasty dessert and you’ve got yourself a guest pleaser.

The Ginger

Ginger is a fun and versatile spice.

Not many spices can compete with it for its versatility.

It is beloved in many different cultures.

You’ll find it in many different cuisines and a wide variety of dishes.

It provides the flavor to main dishes, sides, and desserts.

You can use it to spice up meat, vegetables, fruit, breads, and, yes, dairy too.

Kinda crazy, eh?

What would we do without ginger?

The Flavor

Hmmm…how to describe ginger?

I think the best way to describe an intense ginger taste would be biting.

It’s hot, spicy, and slightly sweet. I think sharp is another good way to describe it.

But that’s when it’s intense, we want to create a hint of that flavor in ice cream – not burn your mouth with its intensity.

Adding Ginger

Ginger is a strong spice. A little bit goes a long way.

Since ginger adds a strong flavor, when adding this spice to your ice cream…be careful  not to add too much!

Add a bit and combine well. Taste the ice cream base and then add more if needed.

Easy Ginger Ice Cream

Serving Tip

Serve this ice cream alongside your favorite hot fruit dessert…even add a little whip cream if you’d like!

It’s the perfect complement for pecan pie or cherry cobbler!

Get the Toppings Race

Ice Cream Toppings

Here’s a fun ice cream game that combines skill, speed, and a whole lot of laughs! It’s best played by teens and adults.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 straw for each person
  • 1 bowl for each person
  • 2 dice
  • 1 bowl full of marshmallows, M&Ms, or a similar sized sundae topping

How to Play

Give every person a straw and an empty bowl.

Place the bowl full of marshmallows (or whatever topping you’ve chosen) in the center of your guests.

Give one person the 2 dice and have him roll both dice at the same time.

Pass the dice around the group until a 6 is rolled on one of the dice.

The person who rolled the 6 must try to get as many marshmallows out of the main bowl and into their bowl. They do this by using the straw to suck on the marshmallows.

Meanwhile, the rest of the people continue to roll and pass the dice around.

When another 6 is rolled, the person trying to get marshmallows out of the bowl must stop and the person who just rolled the 6 starts his quest of getting as many marshmallows out of the bowl as he can.

The game continues until all marshmallows have been taken out of the bowl.

The person with the most marshmallows in their bowl at the end wins.

Gelato vs Ice Cream

Gelato vs ice cream – what’s the difference? You’ve had ice cream before and maybe you’ve even tried gelato – they’re both frozen treats…so how are they different?

gelatovs ice cream

Ingredients

Gelato and ice cream are made from completely different recipes.

Most gelato recipes have more milk, more egg yolks, and less cream than ice cream recipes. Because of this, Gelato is a less fatty dessert than ice cream.

The fat content in ice cream helps give ice cream its creaminess, but don’t worry, even though gelato isn’t as fatty, it is still dense and rich.

Texture

Ice cream has much more air mixed in during the manufacturing process. Because it has a milkier recipe, this is necessary to keep the ice cream from freezing too solidly. Some ice cream brands consist of more than 50% air in each carton.

Gelato, on the other hand, usually features less than 15% air mixed in. Gelato, therefore, is a smoother and denser treat than ice cream…after all – you’re eating less air when you eat gelato!

Serving

Gelato vs ice cream? Who would have thought there would be a difference even in how its served?

Because gelato is denser (less air mixed in), it is served at a higher temperature than ice cream.

While ice cream is usually scooped from buckets, gelato is spooned out of special serving trays. This slightly warmer temperature means that you won’t be able to eat it lazily: you’ll have to focus all your attention on its delicious, creamy goodness before it melts away!

Taste

Because gelato has less fat content, it can offer many more subtle and unique flavors.

The higher fat content in ice cream covers some flavors and limits gourmet creativity. Gelato’s flavorful capabilities allow much more unique flavors: like “biscotto cookie crunch,” “valencia orange,” “stracciatella,” and “toasted almond.”

Gelato is usually crafted in much smaller batches than ice cream, so it often has fresher ingredients and a richer flavor.

If you’re looking to get out of the ice cream standard flavor box, try gelato. But in the end, the choice will be up to you – gelato vs ice cream – which taste do you prefer?

Source

Ice cream originated in the 1700s in Britain and America. Until technology for modern refrigeration had advanced, only rich people could enjoy ice cream as a special treat because it was so difficult to keep it cold.

The period from 1980 to now has seen the rise of several specialty ice cream brands like Haagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s.

Gelato is an Italian creation that was invented in the 1600s by a Sicilian named Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli. Many people don’t realize that gelato is named after the Italian word for “frozen,” not after the word “gelatin.”

Health

Because it has less cream and more milk than ice cream, gelato has a significantly lower fat content. Yet, with its soft, dense smoothness and remarkable flavors, it still tastes absolutely decadent! As a general rule, gelato does contain less fat.

Keep in mind, however, that ice cream has more air in it – which is also non-fat! So if you eat the same volume of gelato as you would ice cream – you may be consuming a similar fat content.

Of course the best thing to do is to read the nutrition information before you buy if you’re really concerned about the health factor.

We’ll start with the basic gelato supplies you need for daily business. Then we’ll discuss location and creating atmosphere, in case you haven’t gotten to that point yet.

Gelato: Basic Supplies

Gelato Maker

Be sure to do your research before purchasing a gelato maker. You may need more than one if you plan to offer several flavors.

Ingredients

Of course, one of the most important gelato supplies is the basic ingredients to make the gelato and any fresh fruit or other flavors and add-ins you intend to use.

Ingredients are usually available at wholesale prices and can be delivered to your shop on a regular basis.

Storage Containers

You will need to purchase big containers for storage and display.

Serving Containers and Spoons

You will also need disposable containers in various sizes for take-out orders. You will also need either disposable or reusable serving bowls and spoons for in-store orders.

If you plan to use disposable serving bowls and spoons, they can also be delivered to your shop.

Location, Location, Location

Where you decide to open your shop will have a big impact on the number of customers you’ll serve…and how many customers you can draw in.

Will you aim to catch the tourists as they spend an afternoon downtown? Do you want your primary clientele to be college students looking for a short break from their studies or celebrating the end of another semester?

Would you prefer to serve families who enjoy taking an evening walk to the local gelato shop?

As you consider your goals, you must also consider which location will bring the most successful business.

Atmosphere: Setting up Shop

Once you’ve found a location, you’ll need to develop an atmosphere that will keep people coming back again and again.

Think about the types of chairs and tables you want: hard chairs with tables or a combination of chairs, tables and couches?

Another big item that is important to the atmosphere of the shop is the dipping cabinet. You’ll need to choose one that will showcase your flavors.

For instance, if you only intend to have a dozen or less flavors, keep the display case small, otherwise it will look empty.

Once all your gelato supplies are in place, you’re ready to hold your grand opening!

Owning a gelato shop can be so much fun as you see your customers enjoying a sweet treat with family and friends!
