yes, it's one of the way we can help out isn't it. I'm still trying to train myself to use the google search at the top of the pages. I use google a lot but apparently if we use the one on this site they pay money into the coffers as well...but it's so hard for me to remember.

We've been having Rolo ice cream and Munchie ice cream (tonight is crunchie). Smile

Use the standard cream base and add to it.

Whatever you make, if it's with your own eggs, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The Ice cream maker you're purchasing, sounds like mine, and it is fine for our needs Laughing

Hi all,

This is Pat, George' OH, He's allowed me on the PC.

Is there an ice cream recipe that doesn't require milk?

I have a good friend who is allergic to a numerous amount of products, she also suffers from asthma which is made worse if she eats even the smallest amount of manufactured ice cream.

She loves ice cream and I would love to be able to make some that she could eat.

Thanks

Is she allergic to all milk or just cows ? Maybe it could be made with goats milk ~ don't know about soya ~ stephen will know better than anyone. Hope he comes along soon to help out

I know she can have soya, but not sure about other milk Crying or Very sad

Well in "The Definitive Guide" it says

'always use full cream milk with a minimum fat content of 4%. Do not use skimmed, long life or ultra pasteurised milk as these upset the flavour and texture of the ices'

In several places it goes on again about the fat content - that seems to be the critical thing, not what type of milk it is. The fat is important to stop large ice crystals forming.

I have found a specific recipe for Goat's Milk Ice Cream.

375ml goat milk
100g sugar
3 egg yolks
185ml of whipping cream

The proportions don't look majorly different to standard ice cream - the fat content is the critical thing. If you can get the fat content up enough, it'll be fine.

Thanks Stephen,

I have managed to get a text message back from her the only milk she can have is soya which appears to about 2% fat Crying or Very sad

I'll have a look about at the weekend, if I'm not meshing the chicken run

I done a google search using the search box at the top of page for ice cream with soya milk and there were a number of sites, I have to be especially careful when doing anything for her as she has hypersensitivity level 1 & 2, which basically means that she is allergic to most things that contain E Nos, nuts, melon, anything with sunset yellow in (that's butter etc).

In saying all that we went to Mardi Gras in Sydney in 2002 and had three great weeks eating out etc, I just checked with the chefs what they were using and asked that they ensured that there was no chance of cross contamination. The Austrailians are great about things like that, they all asked if I wanted to inspect the kitchens.

It's too hot over there for George though so doubt I'll go again :'(

I don't think you'd get a similar response in the UK Pat Sad

what about the cream though, would she be allowed to have that? If she can, wouldn't it mean just having a higher ratio of cream to milk to keep the total fat content up?

you bet Nigel, she hates going out with me; she can take a tablet before eating food (the preparation of which is unknown) which is suppose to stop any allergic reaction; however I have this firm believe that if you take tablets for something like you reduce the bodies immunity, so I always ask. We were out one night George, Jane and myself, I was extremely tired and when I am tired my tolerence level is zero, we'd oredered drinks and I had expressly said that we didn't want lemon (another thing Jane' allergic to) when they delivered the drinks there was a slice of lemon split across the glass. I thought that I was polite but firm when I asked for the glass to removed immediately and a fresh one returned without being near a lemon. George informed me that I was infact rude to the waitress, I did apologise when she returned. But when you are dealing with someones life and she has been my best friend for 20 years I think I'm allowed to be touchy..

Summayah - that makes two of us, we haven't even ordered one yet. depending on who can eat what we can make will reflect on how much we spend on buying one.

I thought keeping Chickens would be cheap, two new shed bases a chicken run, ice cream maker what next? d'oh!
