Breast milk ice cream goes on sale in Covent Garden<br /><br />The makers say the ice cream is pure, organic and totally natural.<br /><br />A restaurant in London's Covent Garden is serving a new range of ice cream, made with breast milk.<br /><br />The dessert, called Baby Gaga, is churned with donations from 15 women who responded to an advertisement on an online mothers' forum.<br /><br />One of the women, Victoria Hiley, 35, said if adults realised how tasty breast milk was more new mothers would be encouraged to breastfeed.<br /><br />Each serving of Baby Gaga at Icecreamists costs £14.<br /><br />Mrs Hiley's donation was expressed on site and pasteurised before being churned with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest.<br /><br />Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor placed an advert appealing for breast milk donations and believes his new recipe will be a success.<br /><br />"If it's good enough for our children, it's good enough for the rest of us," he said. "Some people will hear about it and go yuck - but actually it's pure organic, free-range and totally natural."<br /><br />Mrs Hiley, who gets £15 for every 10 ounces of milk she donates to the company, said it was a great "recession beater".<br /><br />"What's the harm in using my assets for a bit of extra cash?" she added.<br /><br />"I teach women how to get started on breastfeeding their babies. There's very little support for women and every little helps."<br /><br />Mr O'Connor said health checks for the lactating women were the same used by hospitals to screen blood donors.<br /><br />"No-one's done anything interesting with ice cream in the last hundred years," he added.
