Goat
Milk Chocolate Pudding
One
of our favorite desserts. Fresh goat milk adds an
excellent creamy texture and favor to chocolate
pudding.
Ingredients
2
2/3 cups of fresh goat's milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
4 egg yolks
2 tbs. cornstarch
1 tbs. butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Directions
In
a medium saucepan combine sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch.
Stir in goat's milk. Cook and stir over medium heat
until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and
stir for several more minutes. Remove from heat.
Gradually stir about 1 cup of the hot mixture into
beaten egg yolks (note: use a wire whisk and beat
briskly or else lumps will form). Return all of
the egg mixture to the saucepan and beat briskly
with a wire whisk and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce
heat. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Remove from
heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour pudding into
a bowl or 4 individual serving cups. Chill until
ready to serve.
Goat
Milk Fudge
Courtesy
of 'Storey's Guide to Raising Dairy Goats', this is
one of the better fudge recipes that we tried. You
will need a candy thermometer for this fudge.
Ingredients
2
cups sugar
2 1/2 squares baking chocolate
1 cup fresh goat's milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup nuts, chopped
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbs. butter
Directions
Mix
the sugar, chocolate, goat milk, and salt in a heavy
saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Bring to 236 degrees F on a candy thermometer, or
to a soft-ball stage (a few drops dribbled into cold
water can be formed into a soft ball). Remove from
heat, add the nuts, vanilla, and butter. Beat until
thick and creamy. Pour into a buttered dish and cool.
Cut into squares.
