Goat Milk

 

 

With the fresh sweetness of blueberries and pineapple,  this homemade fruit ice cream screams Summertime. Additionally, fruit ice cream is a great way to “chill out” from the summer heat.

 

This recipe is for a 4 quart ice cream freezer, and produces a mild ice cream treat. If you prefer a richer ice cream, just replace some of the liquid with heavy cream, or make it into a custard by cooking a few whisked egg yolks with the milk and sugar.

 

Ingredients:

 

• 6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) goat milk
• 2 cups half and half  or heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups blueberries – fresh or frozen-thawed
• 2 cups pineapple – fresh or canned
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

 

 

Directions:

 

• Blend the blueberries and pineapple in a blender or food processor until mostly smooth. If you are using a blender, you may need to add a little goat milk for liquid to ease in blending.

* Note – If you are new to ice cream making and if you are adding fruit to your ice cream, remember to puree it first! Otherwise, those lovely fresh slices of fruit will be frozen and end up hard as a rock in your ice cream. Actually, the pureed fruit adds much more flavor than simple fruit chunks.

• Pour 1 quart of the goat milk in a sauce pan and heat to scalding – there should be steam coming from the milk but, it should not boil. Remove from heat and add sugar and salt, stirring until completely dissolved.
• Place mixture in refrigerator or freezer until chilled. When cold, add the remainder of the goat milk, the half and half, vanilla extract and fruit mixture.
• Pour into ice cream freezer canister and follow the instructions as per  your ice cream maker.

 

 

To store ice cream, if you have ice cream left over that you must store in the freezer, store it in single-portion sizes, as homemade ice cream becomes brick-hard in the freezer, and will be impossible to scoop unless you first melt it.

 

*More suggestion:

You can use your single-portion leftover ice cream to make a smoothie by throwing it in the blender with some extra goat milk.

Goat Cheese Ice Cream           

 

                             

 

 

One of my favorite desserts!

 

Fresh goat milk adds an excellent creamy texture and favor to chocolate pudding. A good amount of *dark chocolate (85% cocoa) and a good amount of cocoa powder create a dark rich flavor. Egg yolks and cornstarch thicken the pudding as it simmers, resulting in a wonderfully dense pudding that is as comforting served warm as it is refreshing served chilled.

 

Ingredients:

• 2 2/3 cups of fresh goat  milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 2 tbs. cornstarch
• 1 tbs. butter
• 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
• * Optional – 3.5 ounces dark chocolate (85% cocoa)

 

Directions

• *Optional – Break the dark chocolate into pieces and place in a metal bowl or top section of a double boiler. Bring about a cup of water to a simmer in a small saucepan or the bottom section of a double boiler. Place the vessel holding the chocolate over the simmering water and turn off the heat. Allow the chocolate to melt gradually.
• Meantime, in a medium saucepan combine sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch. Stir in goats milk.
• Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for several more minutes. Remove from heat.
• *Optional – At this point you can stir in the melted chocolate.
• Gradually stir in about 1 cup of the hot mixture into beaten egg yolks (*Note: use a wire whisk and beat briskly or else lumps will form).
• Return all of the egg mixture to the saucepan and beat briskly with a wire whisk and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour pudding into dessert bowls or 4 individual serving cups.
• Serve warm or chill until ready to serve.

Now that you have made your Dill Bread and if you still have a lot of left over whey, firstly, let us get started and experiment it on your skin and hair.

 

Whey, the nutritious liquid left over from curdled milk when the curds are removed. Whey contains the water-soluble proteins, vitamins, and minerals in the milk. And there are many things you can do with this leftover whey. Besides using it in bread baking, soup stock, to cook pasta and in a pinch to ripen your cheese if you are out of culture, you can even drink whey plain or sweetened. When taken internally, whey protein is rapidly assimilated by the body and it provides your body with the complete protein it needs to regenerate and rejuvenate the protein-rich hair and skin cells.

 

Whey can be used on your skin as  cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Whey is gentle and slightly anti-microbial. Recent personal testimonies have stated that whey helps with acne. In fact, it was shown in a cosmetic pre-development research that whey helps lighten skin pigmentation like, age spots. And several commercial skin products have incorporate whey in their skin care products due to its benefits.

 

The simplest way to use whey for skin care is a whey bath. Simply add 1-2 cups of whey to a tub of fresh water. Soak for 10-20 minutes. The acidity of the whey is great for restoring the pH level of the skin, and the whey proteins will help rejuvenate skin cells.

 

For tired eyes, wet a tea bag with cold whey and place over closed eyes. It is best when apply in the morning. In five to ten minutes, you should feel completely refreshed!

 

For any homemade skin care recipes that use water, use whey instead, and when using a dry clay mask, wet your face first with whey.

 

Now that you have a list of whey benefits so, go ahead and make your own whey toner.

 

Why make whey toner?

 

Whey is a fantastic product for the skin, as well as for hair care.

 

Whey toner is one of my favorites  for mornings and it is inexpensive.  Make the night before and store in the refrigerator. Use ice-cold over face for a great way to start the day. Leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

 

If you already have leftover whey from making cheeses, then this is great! Just use about 1 cup of whey to make the tea as per instructions below. But, if you do not, this recipe is a quick way to make instant whey and toner.

• 1/2 cup Goat milk buttermilk
• 1 Chamomile tea bag

 

Place the tea bag and the buttermilk in a small, microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the buttermilk has separated into “curds and whey,” and is steaming hot, but not boiling.

Strain through a tea strainer into a jar and refrigerate. Use the next morning to make your face feel alive! Additionally, your face will feel incredibly clean, but not dry.

How Whey Benefit Your Hair?

 

Whey is an excellent hair care product. Whey nourishes, strengthens and softens hair. You will probably find that after using whey on your hair, it is much healthier and shinier looking. And, because it is slightly acidic, whey helps improve the health of your scalp – where your hair gets its nourishment.

 

There are several variations of uses for whey on your hair. If your hair is not extremely filthy or oily, you can use whey in place of a shampoo to cleanse your hair. Just rub in thoroughly and rinse with cool to lukewarm water.

 

If your hair needs a thorough cleansing than shampoo first, and follow with a whey rinse. Leave on the hair for 5 to 15 minutes, then gently rinse with water.

 

Need some serious conditioning? Wet clean hair thoroughly with the whey, brushing with styling brush to distribute evenly, then let dry naturally. Rinse with warm water, dry and style. You are really going to love how soft and silky your whey-conditioned hair looks.

 

Another of my favorite hair care uses for whey! If you use styling gel, cream or mousse on your hair, try using whey instead. Just spray or comb whey through your wet hair and style as usual.

 

The whey adds great texture and body to hair, and is especially useful for fine or limp hair, because it does not weigh it down like many hair products. Just be sure to keep separating the hairs as you dry, or the hair will tend to clump together, just like gel, cream or mousse would do.

 

Whey is the best heat and humidity-resistant hair styling product that I have come across. Even in an extreme heat index of over 110 degrees F, the whey would hold your hair without collapsing.

 

And, not forgetting, you are getting the benefit of all that protein for your hair as well!
