Holy Cow!





Okay, I have been all about buying raw milk from a local farmer for the past several years. There are many reasons for this: food security, living foods, pro-biotics, digestive enzymes, etc.

As the kids are not milk drinkers, we consume less than a gallon a week. And I've really tried to curb the cereal consumption as well.

So, we've had a surplus of milk in the house. I've taken to making cheese and yogurt and encouraging the kids to make milk shakes.

Then one day it occurred to me how ridiculous it was to be tossing out milk to the chickens while buying ice cream.

Enter our friend the Cuisinart! Here's the first recipe we've tried:

3 cups whole raw milk (with cream)
1/2 cup sugar
2 raw egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla (steeped in vodka)
Dash of sea salt

Combine above ingredients with hand immersion blender (not standard blender- important!)

Chill mixture for 30 mins in fridge.

Slowly pour into running Cuisinart 1,5 quart ice cream maker.

Let it run until thick.

Finish thickening in freezer.

Totally relish the flavors, textures and nutrition!

Dang! I'm totally doing this again!!!
