Raw Milk Ice Cream: Jamocha Almond Fudge

A new recipe has started for my Raw Milk Ice Cream stash.

My good friend mentioned that she would do my laundry for a year (or something like that) if I would only whip up a batch of Jamocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream.

In the event that you have a sudden craving for some yummy ice cream that is not vanilla, here is the recipe!

Make my Coffee Ice Cream but at the end, just before it's all firm, add some chopped almonds and some chocolate fudge sauce.

It's pretty great and I am thinking my laundry load will be lighter this year:-)

Did you mention Kahlua? Yep, it's great in the coffee ice cream too. Add a tsp to the mixture and you will thank me later:-)

Tomorrow I will be at Firestone. Remember that incident?

I will be here Wednesday to fill ya'll in on what's going down. Until then....

What Ice Cream Flavor do you want?

Raw Milk Ice Cream, the Recipes

Oh how we have indulged this week! Ice Cream EVERY night!
In all fairness I had to experiment to find the best recipe and I found more than one!

Our girl Lucy is giving us a solid 3 gallons of milk a day and with 1 qt of cream per gallon....well let's just say we enjoy ice cream!

First I wanted to have a good basic vanilla ice cream. Here is the winner, thumbs up from all family members!

Raw Milk Vanilla Ice Cream


2 C cream
1 C whole milk
3/4 C sugar
2 tsp vanilla

Combine these well, until the sugar dissolves. Chill. Make according to your machine's directions. 

Next, I wanted a treat for myself. Coffee ice cream was what I was craving and this one is delivers!

Raw Milk Coffee Ice Cream


2 C cream
1 C whole milk
3/4 C sugar
3 Tb instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1/4 C water
1 tsp vanilla


Mix well and chill. Make according to your machine's directions.

As if the coffee wasn't enough, I went crazy and threw in some cocoa and dark chocolate chips! This one I refuse to share! :-)

Raw Milk Mocha Ice Cream with Chocolate Chips


2 C cream
1 C whole milk
3/4 C sugar
3 TB instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1/4 C water
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tb semi-sweet cocoa (I used Starbucks hot cocoa mix)
4 -6 oz dark chocolate or semi-sweet chips, chopped


Mix everything but the chocolate chips well. Chill. make according to machine directions. Add chips during the end of the cycle.




Now, the main issue with having tons of milk and wanting to make lots of ice cream at once is that home made ice cream doesn't store well. Usually what happens is you put leftovers in a storage container, stick it in the freezer and then the next day it is hard as a rock! Impossible to scoop out and eat, right?

I found these containers made especially for home made ice cream and thought I would try them out. They cost under $1 each and I am really hoping they will allow me to make lots of ice cream to store for the summer.

Verdict? So far they seem to really work!! Granted, ice cream hasn't been allowed to stay stored here for longer than a couple of days, BUT my coffee ice cream lasted me 4 days and each time I went to scoop some out...I could!

Now if peaches would just hurry and ripen, we could go crazy developing an ice cream for them!!!!

More food in store tomorrow!!!!!
