A woman has sold 850ml of her breast milk to be made into a new ice cream product.

Called the Baby Gaga, the dessert will be available from the Icecreamists restaurant in Covent Garden, London, from tomorrow.

The Baby Gaga mixes breast milk - from women who have been properly screened - with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest before churning it into ice cream. It is priced at £14 per portion.

Victoria Hiley, 35, said: "What could be more natural than fresh, free-range mother's milk in an ice cream? And for me it's a recession-beater too - what's the harm in using my assets for a bit of extra cash?

"I tried the product for the first time today - it's very nice it really melts in the mouth. I teach women how to get started on breast feeding their babies. There's very little support for women and every little helps. I'm passionate about the good that breastfeeding does for babies."

Hiley was one of 15 women who responded to an advert on Mumsnet offering £15 for every 10oz (285ml) of milk.

Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor, 44, from Hampshire said: "The Baby Gaga tastes creamy and rich. No-one's done anything interesting with ice cream in the last hundred years.

"We've came up with a method of infusing ice-cream with breast milk. We wanted to completely reinvent it. And by using breast milk we've definitely given it a 100% makeover.

"Some people will hear about it and go 'yuck' - but actually it's pure, organic, free-range and totally natural. I had a Baby Gaga just this morning and I feel great."
