When looking for goat milk recipes, the first thing to remember is that goat milk is, well...milk.
So, if you're new to goat milk and wondering what to do with that gallon or so in your refrigerator, start by asking yourself, "What would I do if it were cow's milk?"Pour it on cereal, make puddings, sauces, cakes or hot chocolate, or drink it plain. Goat milk can be used in any way you would traditionally use cow's milk.
If that's the case, you may be thinking, "Then what's the big deal about having recipes dedicated to goat milk?".
Recipes that traditionally call for goat milk are those that have benefited from the several properties of goat milk that do differentiate it in taste and texture from cow's milk. Used cold, properly processed goat milk is practically indistinguishable in taste from cow's milk.
When heated or otherwise processed (as for cheese), however, the three "goat" fatty acids lend an undeniable tang to food. Some people have an immediate liking for the flavor of goat milk products, while for others, it is an acquired taste.
Goat milk is traditionally associated with dessert recipes. This is because the more even distribution of the smaller fat molecules in goat milk gives a creamy smoothness to all foods made from it. This difference in texture is even evident from drinking the milk by itself.
So, ice cream, fudges and other sweets that are known for that "melt-in-your-mouth" feel all benefit from the extra rich smoothness of goat milk.
However, all recipes can benefit from the nutritional benefits of goat milk!

Choose Your Milk
Recipes that require cooking the milk, either on top of the stove, or by baking with other ingredients, are a good way to use that canned goat milk you made during milking season.
Canned milk has a slightly cooked taste to it, which makes it less appealing for drinking and using with fresh food recipes. However, you'll never notice the difference when using it for cooked recipes.
That way,you can save your fresh milk for drinking and making cheese or other delicious dairy products!
Powdered or evaporated goat milk can also be used in some recipes. If the recipe calls for goat milk, reconstitute the powdered or evaporated milk as directed on the can and use the amount given in the recipe.
