I absolutely love my new Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker! I have been using it for the last 2 or 3 months very successfully. Most of my favorite recipes are right in the recipe book included with the machine.
I originally purchased it so that I can make less fattening ice cream. Well, that is not going so well! I try to add more non-fat milk than the recipe calls for by using a little half and half and non-fat milk when whole milk is needed. It lightens it up a little bit without taking away from the flavor.
I found my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker online for $70 with free shipping. A week later I was in Costco and saw it for $50. Oh well, I do not regret my purchase, as the real good ice cream in the grocery stores cost about $4.00 per pint. We were starting to spend a bit more money than we ever planned on this stuff. I can purchase whipping cream or half and half, milk, sugar and cocoa (chocolate is my favorite!) for a lot less, making double the amount, at least.
I also found a sinfully delicious chocolate recipe online that I will share soon. Check back soon!
