Cuisinart Ice Cream Yogurt Maker

Homemade Ice Cream Made Easy

It is hard to image anyone not liking ice cream, especially when it’s your homemade recipe. The Cuisinart Ice Cream Yogurt Maker not only makes ice cream, but also yogurt, and sorbet without having to buy rock salt and ice. Saving you the mess and spills. All you need to do is make your favorite ice cream recipe and pour it into the canister and after twenty minutes, you have ice cream ready to serve and eat.

This particular ice cream maker does use electricity but no ice or rock salt. You must freeze the bowl first before using the ice cream maker. The bowl contains a cooling liquid that freezes. Once the liquid is completely frozen, you can begin adding your recipe ingredients into the double insulated bowl.

The bowl can make up to 1.5 quarts of ice cream, yogurt or sorbet frozen treats using your favorite recipes within twenty minutes.

The parts of this machine are not dishwasher safe. You must hand wash the parts after every use. Do not use abrasive materials on the plastic parts when cleaning or you could damage the plastic surfaces with permanent scratches.

Warning: When placing the liquid freezing bowl in the freezer be sure it is resting on a flat surface.

Freezing Time and Bowl Preparation

The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is the coldest. Be sure to place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.

Generally, freezing time is between 16 hours and 24 hours. Shake the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you do not hear the liquid within the bowl moving, the cooling liquid is therefore frozen. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your cooling freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing from the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been removed from the freezer. Prepare all the ingredients first before removing the bowl from the freezer.

Note: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.

Recipe Substitutions

You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half-and-half) and milk (reduced fat or low-fat) for heavy cream and whole milk used in many recipes. However, keep in mind that the higher the fat content, the richer and creamier the result. Using lower-fat substitutions may change the taste, consistency and texture of the dessert. When substituting, be sure to use the same volume of the substitute as you would have used of the original item. For example, if the recipe calls for 2 cups of cream, use a total of 2 cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup cream, 1 cup whole milk).

What Questions People Are Asking About This Product

You can read some of the questions about this product below.

Question: Does this machine make yogurt?
Answer: Yes. I have made the lowfat frozen strawberry yogurt and even used less sugar than it called for and it was great.

Question: Yes, it’s safe to leave the bowl in the freezer longer than 24 hours? 
Answer: I leave it in the freezer indefinitely so I will have it ready for whenever a craving strikes. I do not leave the ice cream in the bowl though–that I take out right away and put it in another container.

Question: What’s the dimension of the inner container?
Answer: It is cylindrical; diameter is 7″ and height is 5.5″.

Question: How much ice cream do you all make in one batch? It holds 1.5 quarts but whats the measurement of an average recipe?

Answer: I use 3 cups whole milk, 2 cups whole cream, vanilla (whatever flavor), sugar, dash salt and turn it on. There should be room to add a cup of fresh, chopped fruit or nuts near the end of the 20 minutes. I always make the maximum amount which is about 5 cups (a quart and a cup).
