Raw milk ice cream recipes?

[lachingona1]

I'm looking to make some ice cream using raw milk but I cannot find a recipe that doesn't call for heavy cream and I don't think I can get that raw. I use agave, vanilla beans, salt, and milk but it isn't creamy when finished.

Any one have any recipes?

I'm interested in some recipes too. I've heard of the legendary TF cream-honey-egg yolk ice cream and I want the recipe.

You can substitute milk for cream, but the ice cream won't be as "creamy." We made some orange ice cream last summer in a similar bind. It's hard to mess up ice cream. Even a bad batch is pretty darned good.

I've been making DH ice cream with the cream I scoop of the top of our milk every week. I've been using sugar : but I really want to use honey. Unfortunately, DH won't drink the raw milk so this is one of the ways I get it into him.

I use a Vita-Mix recipe.

I suck the cream off of the top of the jar for the 1 cup of milk and I use raw honey for the sweetener. If it gets watery at all, I just toss in ice cubes until it is the desired consistency.

I believe if you want to use just milk that's technically not ice cream but ice milk. That might help your search.

I also know from a few friends that tried it that if you put this in the freezer, it sets up really firm and not scoopable so it's best to eat soon.

heehee, I am making raw milk ice cream right now! I take a turkey baster and suck the cream at the top of my gallon off of the top and use that. I can make one batch of ice cream from the cream off the top. I also have access to raw heavy cream though so I do add some of that in right before processing. I would like to try that recipe with honey if someone wants to post it. I do use eggs in mine and its very good, but would love to try raw honey. I have a good local honey source as well.

I whipped this up today and DS called it "the best ice cream I've ever been eating." so I'll settle for that review.

Honey Ice Cream
5 Egg Yolks
2 C Raw Milk
1 C Raw Cream
1/2 C Raw Honey

Warm the milk slowly and drizzle in the honey until it's completely incorporated into the milk. Take the milk-honey mixture off of any heat, and mix in the cream and egg yolks until the mixture is uniform. Then stick it in your ice cream maker and crank away.

I think next time I might decrease the milk and honey and increase the cream.

Your best ice cream sounds fabulous, and so simple, I think I'll have to try it, and I have been very intimidated to make homemade ice cream, even though I have an ice cream maker. Thanks for this!

My recipe has cream in it, but a bit less, so maybe you can save your skimmed cream and try it.

3/4 C raw milk
3/4 C raw cream
2 egg yolks (pastured eggs)
1/3 C maple syrup
Vanilla to taste (1 - 2 t)

Blend in blender/VitaMix. Chill for at least 45 minutes to blend flavors. Give a quick blend again, then pour into ice cream maker according to directions. Recipe can be doubled, but will be full for a 1.5Q machine and will not be as firm.

Dh doesn't like any higher ratio of cream to milk than this. I'd eat it made with straight cream, LOL.

Not sure which recipe you are comparing yours to, but if it is snowbunny's above, it seems to me that hers is a ratio of cream to milk of 1:2 (one-third cream), and yours is 1:1, or half cream, which would make yours much richer. Maybe I'll have to try them both. Thanks for the recipe!

I need an ice cream maker! I definitely want to try making our own ice cream!

Now, where would I find one?

i just bought a really nice ice cream maker from Overstock. its a refurbished one but the 2 yr warranty is $7.95 (i think) and its a cuissinart (sp??)...the price was less than 1/2 new.

Oh, thanks! Off to shop!

Sorry, I meant you need less cream overall to make it (since getting cream was an issue), as it is a smaller recipe.

As far as the ratio goes, I was just thinking of DH. I think the recipe in NT is pure cream, and he hated that, and I've been adjusting the ratio of cream/milk ever since. I had settled on 2:1 cream/milk, which is rich and delicious, but he still prefers less cream, so we do 1:1 (which to me tastes more like ice milk or a milkshake).

It's always a dance with us. He doesn't love the raw milk and cream from Organic Pastures this time of year (when it is moving into being the most nutritious). We're going to try Claravale raw milk instead (plus it comes in glass and OP is in plastic).

Snowbunny's recipe looks great ~ I think I'll up our egg yolks next time I make ice cream.

FYI -- Jersey cow milk expands a lot more than Holstein cow milk in the ice cream maker (or maybe raw expands more than pasteurized?) -- I just discovered this last night. So, my ice cream maker takes 3 cups of regular milk/cream. I think that the next time I use our raw Jersey milk I'll only use 2 or 2.5 cups of milk & cream.

Thanks for explaining that, KimberMama. I am intrigued by the NT recipe using all cream, but I think I would find it too rich. What I would love is a recipe that is close to Haagen-Daz chocolate. It is only about 5 ingredients...cream, milk, egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa. I would use probably muscovado sugar as that tastes to me the most like regular sugar, but sometimes like to mix several types of natural sweeteners so that none is overly noticeable. But I don't know what the ratio of those ingredients would be...though I would imagine the cream content to be fairly high? Maybe I should google it, unless any of you mamas might have an idea? Thanks to all for all the wonderful ideas and comments, I really want to find a way to make homemade icecream with raw milk!

[lachingona1]

Thanks for the recipes! I've been experimenting, first I made this pretty much ice milk with 4 cups raw milk, part of a vanilla bean, and raw agave to taste. It tasted good but not creamy.

Then I made this one, Super yummy!!! mint chocolate chip:

2 cups cream (organic, but not raw. Just ordered raw cream)
2 cups raw milk
raw agave
organic peppermint extract
organic carob chocolate chips

It makes the biggest difference with cream. I get a bunch of raw cream tomorrow. Anyone know if cream can be frozen without altering the taste?
