'BAAH-NILLA!' is a creamy gelato flavor from Victory Garden that swaps ordinary cow's milk for a goat milk dairy base.
In order to further enhance the flavor of the ice cream product, the rich goat's milk base is paired with whole vanilla beans and Mexican vanilla extract.
This take-home creamy gelato product sold through Victory Garden's online store is just one of the many frozen desserts it makes with a base of goat's milk. The web store also sells pints of Coachella Date, Honey Lavender and Chocolate Victory flavors. In its NYC store, all soft-serve ice cream products are made from goat's milk, which owner Sophia Brittan says is lower fat and richer in nutrition in comparison to cow’s milk.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Goat Milk Ice Cream
- There is a growing trend in the market for ice cream made with goat milk, which offers a lower fat and richer in nutrition alternative to traditional cow's milk.
- Unique Flavors
- As seen with Victory Garden's ice cream offerings, unique and unconventional flavors are becoming more popular in the ice cream market, creating innovation opportunities for new flavor combinations.
- Dairy Alternatives

Where This Applies
- Ice Cream
- The ice cream industry has the opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of using goat milk and unique flavors to capture a new customer base.
- Dairy
