Making more ice cream with all the sheep's milk I have. I toasted nuts in butter but this time added a little sugar and cocoa powder. Yum! Chocolate crunchies that remain crunchy in the ice cream.

It is sweeter than cow or goats milk. Otherwise it tastes more like cow's milk. I switched from dairy goat to dairy sheep last fall and I am very happy.
