Goat’s Milk Frozen Yogurt with White Tea Infused Cantaloupe

A refreshing goat milk frozen yogurt is served with white tea infused cantaloupe.

Goat's Milk Frozen Yogurt with Tea Infused Cantaloupe

I just have to say, thank goodness for frozen yogurt.

Having a general fondness for frozen confections, I try to keep a stash of my “flavor of the moment” in my freezer.  Between the heat and a lingering sore throat the past couple weeks it’s been my saving grace.

Lately goat’s milk frozen yogurt has been preoccupying my taste buds. Even if you don’t tend to like goat’s milk cheese, I think you’ll like goat’s milk frozen yogurt.  With a delicate taste that’s hard to describe, it’s a quiet comfort with a silky, smooth taste and heat and throat soothing properties.

Contrary to what you might think, it’s not “goaty” or even as tart as regular yogurt.  In fact ,goat’s milk yogurt has a naturally creamy texture and a mild flavor that makes for an incredible frozen yogurt.

This isn’t like those cloying sweet, pumped full of air, frozen desserts masquerading as frozen yogurts.  This one has a slight twang of yogurt softened by the mild taste of wildflower honey and a velvety richness while remaining light on the palate.

It has a sophisticated and subtle flavor that is pure luxury and just begs to be paired with juicy seasonal fruit, and the market is just bursting with sweet melons at the moment.

One of my favorites is the French Charentais cantaloupe.  With its heady floral fragrance, it’s juicy and sweet and full of flavor; a real multi-sensory treat.  Infused with a delicate white peony tea, I thought it would be the perfect match for the frozen yogurt.

The subdued floral note of the white tea honey is balanced by the sweetness of the cantaloupe.  The floral flavor of the tea lingers on your tongue for a refreshingly bright finish.

Perfect for when temperatures are soaring and darn good for an irritated throat.

    Sylvie, I am surprised to say I've never even tried goat's milk yogurt! But I do like goat cheese and was going to make Charlie Trotter's goat cheese ice cream, but never got around to it. If this is even milder, everyone should love it. Very refreshing served with the infused cantaloupe! (You've done a spectacular job with the photography and presentation. So difficult with a white ice cream.)

    I was sent some goat milk yogurt last year when I did a series on goat products and was quite surprised at the flavor. While I love goat cheese, I wasn't so sure it would translate to yogurt but you're right; it seems less 'goaty' in yogurt form. Feel better soon...I feel better seeing your photos!

    I actually tried goat's milk yogurt for the first time last week and yes, it's not as "goaty" as goat's milk is. I made a dip with goat's milk yogurt and redcurrants and it turned out pretty well. I have some yogurt leftover and would love to try making a frozen yogurt with it. Thanks for the inspiration!

And your photos, they are just so pretty. Truly inspiring and sure keeps me wanting to improve further. Love your posts on Summer photography too.
