We ate a lot of ice cream this weekend, in part because of Foursquare's Game of Cones promotion. One place we knew we wanted to go was Victory Garden in the West Village (and not just because their badge was called "House Victory").
Victory Garden is unique because the ice cream they offer is goat milk soft serve made with local goat milk. We definitely wanted to try it to see if the goat milk made a difference.
There were 4 flavors available when we went: tangy goat milk, salted caramel, chocolate victory and mastic dream. We sampled the salted caramel and the chocolate victory, and ultimately decided to go with the chocolate victory.
The chocolate victory flavor was made with Mexican stoneground and Valrhona cocoa. The ice cream was really great in that it wasn't overly sweetened. They stuck mostly to the natural flavors of cocoa which is getting more and more common these days. Victory's ice cream was really light, smooth, and creamy. The goat milk must give it that unique texture. There was also a light goat milk aftertaste, but it was pleasant.
Victory Garden's ice cream was perfect for a humid summer afternoon. We definitely didn't feel as weighed down or heavy as we did from all the other ice cream this weekend, so the goat milk must make a difference. We will definitely return to Victory Garden!
