Breast Milk Butter
Who knew you could turn your own breast milk into butter? All you have to do is put an ounce or two of breast milk in a sterile jar, screw the lid on tightly and shake, shake, shake until you have butter.
Breast Milk & Mushroom Risotto
If you love undeniably creamy and comforting risotto, why not add the comforting extra ingredient of mom’s breast milk? Psychologist Dr. Wendy Walsh tried it and shared her story on Momlogic. She “accidentally” used breast milk instead of cream in her rich mushroom risotto that she was preparing for dinner guests. Surprisingly, her mom-made meal didn’t scare away the party.
Your Milk Yogurt
If you’ve ever made yogurt before, you know the process can be time consuming. When using your own breast milk, the process remains the same, plus add a few extra minutes for pumping. We found a yogurt recipe from a reader on Food.com that calls for breast milk that’s worth a try. The creator of this recipe intended the result to be fed to babies, but you of course, can decide if you dare to indulge.

Step 1 Ingredients
Gather all of the needed ingredients. This is enough for one serving, but you may double or triple as you see fit, depending on how much breast milk you can pump out.
1/2 cup breast milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups crushed ice
4 tablespoons salt
1 standard sized coffee can
1 economy sized coffee can
Hand towel or gloves (to protect your fingers)
Step 2 Making the Ice Cream
Combine the breast milk, vanilla and sugar into the standard sized coffee can and mix thoroughly. Tightly seal the can with its plastic lid and place inside the larger sized coffee can. Fill that can with the crushed ice, then sprinkle the salt over on top.
Now, use your gloves or towel to protect your hands as you roll the can back and forth on the ground, until the ice cream sets. The time required depends on the number of servings in the can.
Tips
The salt cause the ice to melt slightly, lowering its freezing point. Water freezes at 32 degrees F. water with 10% salt freezes at 20 degrees F.
You can use plastic ziplock freezer bags instead of coffee cans. Just combine the breast milk, vanilla and sugar in a 1-quart freezer bag, then putting that bag inside another 1-quart freezer bag to protect it from the salt. Now, put those bags inside a 1-gallon freezer bag, pour the ice and salt in, and use gloves to mix it around until set.
About 8 minutes is needed to freeze one serving of the ice cream mixture.
Apple Cream
2 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup breast milk
Ground cinnamon (optional)
In a blender container combine low-fat ice cream, applesauce, and the 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice. Cover and blend until smooth. Add breastmilk. Cover and blend until just mixed. Pour into glasses. If desired, sprinkle each serving with additional cinnamon. Serve immediately.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups mother's milk 2 cups milk (just about any animal milk will work) 1 1/2‑teaspoon yogurt (must be active cultured yogurt) 1/8‑tablet rennet (buy from supermarket, usually located in pudding section) 1 teaspoon sea salt such as Baline
PREPARATION:
1) Inoculate milks by heating (68 degree Fahrenheit) then introduce starter bacteria (active yogurt) then let stand for 6 - 8 hours at room temperature, 68ºF covered with a lid. Bacteria will grow in this way and convert milk sugar (lactose) to lactic acid. You can detect its presence by the tart/sour taste.
2) After inoculating the milk heat to 86 degrees Fahrenheit then add rennet (I use tablets which I dissolve in water) and stir throughout. Cover pot and don't disturb for an hour until "clean break stage" is achieved, meaning with a clean spoon lift a small piece of curd out of the milk - if it is still soft and gel-like let pot stand for an hour longer. If curds "break clean" cut with a knife into a squares (cut inside the pot a 1?2-inch cube pattern).
3) Raise temperature slowly continuously stirring with a pastry spatula (this will prevent clumping of cut curd). This is what I call the "ricotta stage" if you like this kind of fresh cheese - here it is. For cheese with a little bit more of texture heat curds to 92 degree Fahrenheit - for soft curd cheese, or as high 102oF for very firm cheese. The heating of the curd makes all the difference in the consistency of the cheese. When heated the curd looks almost like scrambled eggs at this point (curd should be at bottom of pot in whey liquid).
4) Pour curd through a fine strainer (this will separate curd from whey) then transfer into a bowl and add salt and mix with a pastry spatula (this will prevent curd from spoiling). Whey can be drank - it is quite healthy and its protein is very efficiently absorbed into the blood stream making it a sought-after product in shakes for bodybuilders.
5) Give curd shape by lining a container with cheese cloth (allow any excess of cheese cloth to hang over edges of container). Transfer drained, warm curd in the cheese cloth lined container (I used a large plastic quart containers like a large Chinese take- out soup container and cut 4 holes in the bottom with the tip of my knife). Fold excess cheese cloth over top of cheese then weight curd down (with second container filled with water or such) then store in refrigerator (14 hours or so - put container into a second larger container - this will catch draining whey liquid).
6) Take pressed curd out of container (flip container upside-down then unwrap carefully not to damage structure of pressed curd). Rewrap pressed curd with new cheese cloth then age in refrigerator for several weeks (cheese will form a light brown skin around week two - this is normal). Age cheese longer for a more pronounced/sharper cheese flavor.
BREASTMILK SOAP (Συνταγή για σαπούνι με μητρικό γάλα)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup lye (NaOH)
1 1/2 cups vegetal oil
1/2 cup cocoa butter
1 cup breastmilk
Don't use metallic material, since it may react with lye. In a small bowl, add to lye to water (NOT water in lye). Mix well to dissolve lye. Let sit until it reach 115°F (like a warm bath). Mix oil and cocoa butter. Heat until 115°F. You can microwave 60 seconds on HIGH. Add lye to the oil mix (DON'T pour oil in lye). Mix until it takes a silky look--about 10 minutes. Add breastmilk, stirring slowly. The color will change according the amount of fat in your milk, so each batch may have a different colour. Stir until the mix looks like instant pudding - between 45 minutes and 1 1/2 hours. Pour into moulds - You can use almost anything you want; muffin tin is good start. You may want to oil moulds, or cover them with saran wrap or wax paper to make unmoulding easier.
Let sit for 3 days then unmould - some people freeze the soap to unmould it, but it should really be avoided. Let cure in a dry place for at least 4 weeks. The more your soap will cure, the more neutral it will be. You can taste it (I don't mean eat it!) to see if it is neutral.
This recipe will give you 24 oz (if you used a muffin tin then you'll get 12 soaps.)
Lye can be purchased in some supermarkets or grocery stores but it is harder to find it today, since products like Drano are widely spread. You have to use PURE lye to make soap. Usually it is sold in a 12 oz can. If you can't find it in your area, you can always buy it from a chemical laboratory or a chemical supplies retailer, but many of them sell it in 50 pound bags.

A SHORT VERSION OF BREASTMILK SOAP
2 cups vegetable oil (such as olive, coco, canola, cocoa butter, etc.)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup lye (solid NaOH)
1 cup breastmilk
Heat oil to 115°F. In a glass measuring cup, add lye to water. (Not water to lye). When the solution reaches 115°F, add to oil. Stir until the mix is silky; then add milk. Color will change; it is normal. Stir until you get instant pudding consistency (this is what we call "trace"), approximately 60 to 45 minutes. Pour in moulds. You can use almost anything, like muffin tin or cookies tray. Take care to not use metallic material. Let sit 2 or 3 days, until you can unmould soaps easily. You have to let your soap "cure" 4 to 5 weeks, until it becomes neutral. You'll get approximately 12 2-oz soaps.

BREASTMILK BREAD STARTER
2 1/2 cups warm (110 degrees) breastmilk
1 package (1 tablespoon) active dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
In glass or ceramic bowl, soften the yeast in 1/2 cup breastmilk. Stir in the remaining 2 cups breastmilk, flour and sugar. Cover loosely with a dish towel and let stand at room temperature until bubbly. This may take up to 10 days--the warmer the room, the quicker the fermentation. Stir 2 to 3 times a day. The starter will develop a strong "sour" odor as it ferments. When fermentation has occurred, refrigerate the starter until needed.
To keep the starter going: After using 1 cup of starter, add to the remaining 3/4 cup of water or breastmilk, 3/4 cup flour and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir well. Let stand at room temperature until bubbly, at least 1 day. Cover and refrigerate. If not used within 10 days, stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar. Repeat the addition of 1 teaspoon of sugar every 10 days.
