That machine had some issues, but I've since had great results with the Purple Mega Ball. My long-term secret plan is to get an antique, wooden-basin, hand-crank machine from back in the ancient 20th century when things were made with parts, instead of fused together with plastic by slaves while dumping toxic effluents in the local river.

Does your machine shut off automatically when it is supposedly done? I've found those that do often shut off too early. Unless you happen to have a model with an optional hand crank, you're kind of out of luck. Even with our hand cranked model, we ALWAYS cranked until it was almost impossible for a teenage boy to turn any more, then carefully opened the top, pulled out the churn, carefully replaced the top, and then packed the whole thing for about an hour with ice over the top to allow it to set up. Acceptable alternative to place it in the deep freeze, but you probably don't have one of those, I'm guessing. Anyway, I hope one of those tips can help you. Sounds fun!

Because I made chocolate last night that filled my dreams until morning. Its consistency, not to mention taste, should be in the dictionary under "creamy." Ever have Baskin-Robins' "Chocolate Fudge"? Factor that on organic goat milk and that, plus some old Peter Tosh, was my night last night. Bijou- You’re sure your ice cream maker’s purple?

I was going to use your "chill the canister" idea the next time we try it. The canister isn't removable, so I'll have to chill the whole ball. Mine’s purple too!

That ice cream variety sounds excellent, but then any ice cream variety sounds excellent to me. I learned from the Gilroy Garlic Festival that there are almost no ice cream varieties (including garlic) that don't. April-- I don't know what would result if you tried that method -- probably something sweet and gooshy. Bijou-- I just got the Deluxe Size (Purple) of that exact kind of ice cream maker delivered today. I'm hoping for good things (read: consistency "on"). Anne– I have a rosemary bush!

I just love that first picture! Congratulations on reaching your long-awaited and well-deserved treat. My husband and I just got a funny little ice cream maker as a gift. It's literally a ball that you toss around while the ice and rock salt does its thing. We've only used it once, the consistency was a little off, but yummy nonetheless. Wishing you many more monkey bowls full of goaty sweetness. Wow! I just love that first picture!

I try to think through all my decsions and am pretty happy with my current state, but i look forward to one day making real, sustainable lifestyle changes in my future. i'm especially jealous of your goat and garden:) one day, one day... :) Anne PS, i just found a recipe for goat's milk rosemary icecream (which isn't fruity, but could probably come right out of your garden) that my friend tried and said was DELICIOUS. i probably wouldn't have looked twice at it without the inspiration of your goat's milk ice cream dreams. i plan to borrow or buy an ice cream maker to give it a go as soon as i can find one! I already found a vender at the farmers market for the milk:) Hey there,
