Description

Creamy goat milk ice cream with a unique tang.
Topped with honey-caramelized walnuts and cherries.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups (710 ml) goats milk
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp (100 ml) honey
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 cups (473 ml) cream
  • 1/2 tbsp whiskey
  • 3/4 cups (177 ml) chopped walnuts
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) cherries, cut in half and pitted

Instructions

  1. Combine goats milk and honey in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often until thickened (approximately 12-15 minutes).
  2. Lightly beat egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly temper the yolks by whisking in about ½ cup of the hot milk mixture.
  3. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the saucepan. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat, strain, and let cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Add cream to the cold mixture and churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. While churning the ice cream, prepare the caramelized walnuts: Combine walnuts and 1 tbsp honey in a nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat (approximately 338°F/170°C) for about 4 minutes, stirring often. Set aside to cool.
  7. Once the ice cream is ready, fold in caramelized walnuts and cherries.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat goat milk and heavy cream.
  • If you don’t have whiskey, omit it or substitute with a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
