Strawberry Goat's Milk Ice Cream - YES!!

What a better way to spend a HOT and HUMID day in Ohio than making Strawberry Goat's Milk Ice Cream!!  And strawberries are in season now and they are DELICIOUS and WONDERFUL and . . . simply the best thing on earth right now!!  And farmer's markets are back in season, so run yourself down to your nearest farmer's market and buy yourself a pint or two or three - LOL!!!

These strawberries came from a local farmer - aren't they gorgeous!!

The recipe I am going to use to make the ice cream comes from the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream & Dessert Book.

You need one pint of strawberries.  To prepare the strawberries for the ice cream, I rinsed them first.

Roughly chop the strawberries and put them into a bowl.  Add 1T of lemon juice and 1/3 cup of sugar.  Mix to combine.

Store in the refrigerator for one hour before using in the ice cream.

You can use your favorite vanilla ice cream recipe or the one I always use (which is another Ben & Jerry's recipe), BUT I substitute goat's milk for the milk in the recipe.

After an hour, if you want a "chunky" ice cream, drain the juice into your ice cream base.  (You add the strawberries the last 2 minutes of the freezing).

The recipe I use for the ice cream base is;

2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup goat's milk (or regular milk if you don't have a goat - LOL!)

Whisk the eggs until they are light and fluffy.
Add the sugar into the eggs a little at a time.

Add the goat's milk (or regular milk) and the heavy whipping cream and whisk to combine.  Take the strawberries out of the refrigerator and drain the juice into the cream base.

Pour into your ice cream maker and freezer according to the manufacturer's directions.

Two minutes before the ice cream is done, add the strawberries.

OH MY!!!  Is this EVER sinfully delicious!!  You can't buy this in the store!!

Put in freezer containers.  Will store in the freezer for about a week or two - trust me!! It doesn't last THAT long!!  ENJOY!!
