Home-Made “Goat’s Milk” Ice Cream
On the 11th January, when we were in Port Pirie, we bought a Sunbeam Snowy, but with the frantic pace of the last couple of weeks, we haven’t really had time to even think about using it. Ice-Cream makers are extremely affordable, with this particular model only costing $45.00. On Monday night my husband made a batch of ice-cream using the recipe in the instruction book, but it was VERY sweet, so last night he made another batch of home-made ice-cream using our own recipe and fresh goats’ cream, and it is absolutely delicious.
The recipe that we used is:
Goats’ Milk Ice-Cream
Ingredients
400 mls of goats’ cream
4 egg yolks
rounded 1/3 cup of castor sugar
2 mls of vanilla essence
Method
Place eggs, vanilla and sugar into a bowl and mix thoroughly until well combined, then add the cream. Beat again, put into freezer to cool down. Set up the ice-cream maker and pour the mixture through the mixture hole as per instructions in the book. It takes about twenty minutes to make about a litre of ice-cream. Place the mixture into another container of about a litre capacity (to cut down on ice formation) and freeze.
In our household, we have people who are allergic to cows’ milk, so having ice-cream used to present a real problem. My daughter used to cough and cough, and snore like you wouldn’t believe when she had ice-cream, but with the goats’ ice-cream she has no problems, and it is so delicious. This is just another way for us to use the goats’ milk that we are provided with, and another step toward self- God-sufficiency.
I am a daughter of the King of Kings, seeking to live a godly life and mirror the love of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
That sounds delicious. Our ice cream maker was broken in this last move. I’m hoping to be able to get a new one before this summer.
Hi Heather,
I was surprised at how inexpensive they were to buy, especially considering how expensive ice-cream is to buy. I am impressed by the consistency and taste of the home-made ice-cream using an ice-cream maker, too.
Have a great week,

Hi Jillian,
I’m used to blogger and not sure how this one works.
Is there a button to get the follow up comments on your lovely new blog?
I like to read what others are saying
Real vanilla ice cream is my favorite food. Yum yum. Looks like a great investment.
I’m also wondering the best way to follow your beautiful new blog.
This looks yummo!
Yummo…licking my lips right now! xx
Hi Richele,
Ice-cream is great, but home-made ice-cream is absolutely delicious, and I can tell myself that it is nutritious, too.
There is a followers button at the bottom of my sidebar.
Have a great week,

Hi Ruby,
I presume that the follow up comments would just come up as normal. :/
I’m only a newbie at this, and it’s a steEP learning curve for me, too!
Have a great week,

Hi Jeanne,
It is delicious and I can eat it knowing that it is nutritious, too – what a bonus!
Have a great week,

Hi Sarah,
I don’t even feel guilty about eating it, as it’s highly nutritious.
Have a great week,

Oh I love how you ended your entry – another step towards God sufficiency.
Oh I love the idea of making ice-cream. Think I might have to experiment a little and make some.
Hi Deborah,
It is through God that we have our being and He is the supplier of everything that we have.
I love home-made ice-cream, and it doesn’t affect my asthma like cow’s milk ice-cream does.
Have a great week,
Blessings,

I used to make tofu ice cream and tofu fruit ice blocks which the kids and I loved! I still make tofu mayonnaise. It’s lovely for potato salad, tuna or chicken salad.
Hi Kylie,
What does tofu taste like? Tofu ice-cream and tofu ice-blocks definitely sound different, but sound lovely and healthy. I must admit that I’ve never been game enough to try it. :/
Have a great and blessed week,
Jillian
Hello, good day! Your content is very uplifting. I never thought that it was feasible to carry out something like that until after I looked over your post. You undeniably gave an excellent insight on exactly how this whole scheme works. I’ll always visit for more advice. Keep it up!
Hi Wilmer,
Thank you for the encouragement.
Have a great week,
Kind regards,
