Breastmilk icecream

[gosling.livejournal.com]

I am planning on making breast-milk icecream with rintrahroars, surrealestate and any other nursing moms who are interested in contributing. (Actually it will need to be more like gelato if we don't use any non-human milk I suspect, as separating out additional cream seems impractical.)


I'm asking for advice from folks who have done this in the past and also letting anyone who wants to contribute milk to know ahead of time so she can start stockpiling a bit to bring if she would like. (I plan on expressing as much as I can on site, but with a voracious nursing toddler I'm not sure how much that will be.) There seems to be a shortage of good recipes that I can find, but I suspect someone will have useful suggestions here. I'd prefer not to use any non-human milk, and ideally not add any sugar. (Human milk is quite sweet, far more so than goat or cow's milk is.) Also, I want to pasteurize it in is easy a method as possible, so suggestions for that are useful too. (All this may well have to be done with a squirming toddler on my back.)

Someone did this a few years ago when Baitcion was still at Mink Hollow. I think it was the same year as the Chocolate covered grasshopper and mint ice cream. If memory serves she used a vanilla recipe and added some cow's milk to make a small batch. She flash pasteurized it on the camp stove. A few people, myself among them, didn't taste it until we learned the human breast milk in it had been pasteurized. I think "Cooking for Geeks" has temperature ranges for pasteurization. I would go with the temp ranges meant for cow's milk or higher.
