Homemade Raw Milk Ice Cream Without Eggs (Fresh-Milled Flour)
Paradise Acres Homestead
Making homemade raw milk ice cream doesn’t have to mean using eggs or unhealthy ingredients. Living in Texas, our chickens usually slow down in egg production mid summer due to the heat. This recipe came from wanting to make delicious, healthy ice cream to beat the summer heat, but without touching our low supply of eggs. Sweetened with honey, this homemade ice cream is made with simple ingredients, including raw milk, honey, fresh-milled soft white wheat flour, cream cheese, and vanilla, for a creamy, delicious treat the whole family can enjoy.

- 2 qts raw goat milk or milk of choice
- 4 tbsp fresh milled soft white wheat
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 255 grams honey 3/4 cup
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp lemon juice fresh or bottled
Make the flour slurry
Measure two cups of the milk into a saucepan and whisk in the fresh-milled soft white wheat flour until smooth. You will add the rest of the milk later. I just avoid heating it all to get the most of the raw milk benefits. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
This step cooks the flour and creates the thickened base that helps give the ice cream its creamy consistency.
Mix the ice cream base
Once the milk and flour mixture has thickened, remove from heat.
Add the cream cheese and mix till smooth. The warm mixture will help it combine quickly. Next, add the honey, vanilla, lemon juice, and the remaining milk. Stir until well combined.
Enjoy or freeze
Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container for a firmer scoop. Homemade ice cream will generally freeze harder than commercial varieties, so let it sit at room temperature briefly before scooping if needed.
We have tried several different brands of ice cream freezers, the Immergood is by far our favorite! When we bought ours they had a battery powered one that is no longer available. But they do sell the battery power attachment separately.
Our absolute favorite way to eat homemade vanilla ice cream is to scoop it on top of some warm Fresh Milled Skillet Cookie.
