Creating up to 1-1/2 quarts of ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, or frozen drinks at home takes only about 20 minutes with this electric appliance, and salt and ice are not needed. After the machine’s chilling chamber has been in the freezer for about eight hours the liquid between its walls becomes thoroughly frozen. The chamber then goes atop the power base, the unit’s paddle goes into the chamber, the transparent top is locked in place, and the machine is turned on. Ingredients …

So far, my wife and I have made a batch of mint chocolate chip, and cookies and cream. Both were excellent! We made these using the “simple” recipe (no eggs or cooking required). These recipes taste like Breyer’s (which is an A+ rating by our standards). Not a surprise, because if you examine a carton of Breyer’s, you’ll see the same simple ingredients (cream, milk, sugar, real vanilla or mint extract) — no “xantham gum” or what-not. I disagree with the other review here that says the ice cream doesn’t freeze well (after making) — in fact, we think the texture is better after it firms up a bit. We compared this product to a similar one by Krups, but the Cuisinart has a more powerful motor and a better warranty. We are looking forward to trying frozen daquiris, slushies, and other ice cream flavors. This is a great machine!

Not so impressed
This made ice cream fast, but not impressed with the recipe or how the ice cream froze on the sides of the bowl while making it.

I asked my husband to buy this machine for me for Christmas instead of jewelry, and have no regrets! I love all the sorbets, ice milks and ice creams that we can make. It is simple to use, and the results taste great!
My only complaint is how loud the machine is. I can’t really let the machine run while we are having dinner unless I put the ice cream maker far away from the kitchen and dining room. But other than that inconvenience, I can’t complain.
I would agree with the other reviewers — use cold ingredients, and start your ice cream as soon as you take the bowl out of the freezer. I let my bowl freeze for at least two days before using it. I put it in a plastic bag, and then put a zip-loc bag of ice in the container just to be sure.
I have a hard time using all of the egg yolks and heavy cream to make true “ice cream” (although a splurge once in awhile isn’t a bad thing!). I try to stick to the lower fat recipes. You can find endless recipes and ideas on the internet. I must admit that when in a hurry I just throw together some milk, half and half, real mexican vanilla, sugar, and a pinch of salt (no recipe here, just taste it to your own creaminess and sweetness level) to make ice cream for dessert. It’s like having fresh soft serve. Yum!
If you would like your own ice cream maker, you can’t go wrong with this machine!

Ice cream is soup
I’ve rarely had such a highly rated item fail me, but I’ve tried this thing a half dozen times over the last few months and finally have to give it the worst review I’ve ever…

Excellent but not for my waist…
I love this ice cream maker. It is easy to use and quick. Some people said that it is loud but I haven’t found that at all. And fresh homemade ice cream is great.

finally an ice cream maker that gets it right
Over the years I have purchased and received four different ice cream makers. The results from all four were completely unsatisfactory. This one is different.

ice cream maker review
I got this machine because my daughter-in-law had this same one. I had used it at her house. My grandson was coming for a visit, and I thought he’d enjoy homemade ice cream.

Superb.
Found mine at a goodwill store brand new in the box. Thought ‘ah what the hell’ because it was so cheap. A true whim purchase.

Great home-made ice creams or sorbets!
I bought mine after sampling some of my sister’s home-made sorbet, and my husband & I love it! So much better than even expensive store-bought ice cream, and you can make any…
