In July of 1984, President Reagan declared that this month be recognized evermore as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. (Ah, those were simpler times back then...)
So you can celebrate as the month winds down, I'm giving away six pints of Laloo's gourmet goat's milk ice cream to five of you, with one of you winning an all-out old-fashioned office party, complete with a silver scoop, cones, cups, and toppings - whatever you need to get the boss off your ass for a few hours. Or, use the goods for a private party for you and few special (read: female), invited guests.
They've got 11 gourmet flavors of ice cream including: Black Mission Fig, Capraccino, Chocolate Cabernet, Choc-O-L'Orange (arriving on shelves in August), Deep Chocolate, Lemon Chiffon, Molasses Tipsycake, Pumpkin Spice, Rumplemint, Strawberry Darling, Vanilla Snowflake, and four frozen yogurts: Brownie and Clyde, Cajeta, Cherries Tuilerie, and Raspberry. A far cry from your ordinary vanilla.
And in case you're thinking your ice cream fest is going to be a kid's affair, think again. Laloo's has a bunch of recipes that are designed to take full advantage of their rich, bold flavors. For example, last St. Patty's Day I posted their recipe for a
Deep Chocolate and Guinness Float, adding their ice cream and a little chocolate syrup to 5-ounces of Guinness
for an adult after-dinner float. You can also use their ice cream to make Affagoato, where you pour a shot of hot espresso over a scoop of Vanilla Snowflake, or make some easy Almond Fried Ice Cream for a play on the classic Mexican dessert. I think she'll be duly impressed.
And here's the deal on Laloo's, and why ice cream from goat's milk is better. First, it's got a lot less fat than regular ice cream, about 4.5 grams for Laloo's, vs. about 17 for ice cream. And since it's richer than cow's milk, you get a great flavor without it tasting like something's missing. Second, it has more vitamin A and D than regular milk. It also has the ProBiotics those yogurt lovers are always bragging about. And besides the other health benefits of goat's milk vs. cow's milk, it also has lower lactose, meaning you lactose intolerant guys (and your girls), can enjoy some Laloo's and not suffer the embarrassing side effects.
