 Perfect for 2-4 people August 13, 2008

This machine will make ice cream (soft serve style) out of just about anything, and everything: frozen strawberries thrown in a blender with milk, fat free half and half with rose water, milk and chocolate syrup, etc, etc. You could get fancy and cook up a batch of custard style with cream and egg yolks...if you can afford the calories; but the low cal stuff tastes pretty darn good. I know this machine has paid for itself in the savings from buying ice cream at the store.
Makes the most perfect Pina Colada! August 12, 2008
Rabbit902 (Edmond, Oklahoma)
The recipe had to be adjusted a bit but its perfect for this machine.
12oz. Pineapple juice
1/2 c. Milk (gives it a more fluid consistancy)
1/2 c. Heavy Cream (no ice, this freezes well)
1 c. Cream of Coconut
1-2 tablespoons of white sugar(depends on taste
Cherries
Parrot Bay Coconut Rum
Put the pineapple juice in a large bowl, and add sugar and stir until absorbed. Then add the milk, cream, and cream of coconut and stir well.
Retrieve the frozen bowl and assemble the machine. Turn it on and pour the mix slowly into the machine. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the right consistancy.
This is the vergin part, however if you want it with rum, than your best bet is with Parrot Bay Coconut Rum (preferably cold when added) add to taste. Add Cherry.
Variations can include, banana and or orenge.
This is the machine out of four that I have tried that makes a perfect consistancy with so little freezing time of the bowl. I will admit that I keep it in my extra freezer which is colder than my main one, but the bowl was good and frozen in about 7 hours. The booklet says 6 hours is minimal but I gave it an extra hour just to be sure.
The recipe in the booklet for pina colada's is out of a single mix can. So this can give some ideas, I hope you like this as much as my friends and family.
Beautiful, delicious ice cream August 11, 2008

Perfect ice cream the first time I tried it! Just make sure to freeze the sleeve for at least 24 hours, and you'll never have a problem. Sorbet is my new favorite food...
I'm using Dave Lebovitz's "The Perfect Scoop" for recipes - haven't tried any from the cookbook that came with the machine yet. I highly recommend this book!

There is absolutely nothing I enjoy more than ice cream and this product is a dream come true. It is everything I expected. I love it and use it often.

I purchased this recently. I like making ice cream at home mainly because I control the ingredients. The ice cream has turned out pretty well. I have tried ice cream, frozen yogurt, and slushies. They all tasted excellent right from the machine, if you freeze them overnight they are not so good. The higher the fat content the longer they last. After 24 hours the texture is not good. I recommend you make just enough to eat immediately or freeze a couple of hours to make the ice cream harder.
I also agree with many other reviewers that the canister must freeze for 48 hours. I tried it once after 24 hours and it was a big disapointment. I wasted ingredients and had to start all over again.
