Easy, cheap, and delicious With Cuisinart ICE-21

This is so easy and fun to use...never going to eat store bought ice cream again! Have had this for less than two weeks and have made ice cream 5 times already. First time was just an experiment using things I happened to have in the fridge which did not even include regular dairy, I only had coconut milk, and I ended up with a strawberry sorbet kind of concoction that was darned good. Since then I have followed recipes for coconut pineapple custard, rum raisin, chocolate mint and vanilla custard. Each one has been outstanding and far exceeds similar flavors I have tasted in store bought, not to mention no more high-fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors and colorings. It is so easy to use and 4 out of the five times the ice cream was done in under 10 minutes. The exception was the rum raisin, the alcohol content might have slowed the freezing process down, but it still set-up in less than 20 minutes. I live in South Florida and have no problem getting the insulated bowl to freeze solid. I always make sure my base is well chilled too. When it is first done it freezes to a texture a little bit harder than soft serve frozen custard, which is delicious, but after it has been stored in the freezer it becomes more of a traditional hard ice cream texture.
I have wanted an ice cream maker for a while as I am planning on going dairy free in the near future and the coconut milk and almond milk ice creams are soooo expensive I though making my own would be the best way to go. After much research I had debated between this and the big soft-serve dispensing, mix-in machine also made by Cuisinart but decided on this one because simpler is usually better...plus this color aqua is so fun. I am very pleased with this purchase...one of the best self-bought birthday presents I ever made. I think some kind of frozen drink might be my next experiment...now if I can only decide which flavor to try...mudslide, creamsicle, frosty pina colada...

I got this ice cream maker from Bed Bath & Beyond just because we had coupons and it was on sale...so it was even more affordable! Mid $30s, I believe.
My hubby and I have used this twice so far, once for plain vanilla ice cream and once for raspberry sorbet. It came out pretty great both times - and those are just using the recipe booklet included with the maker!
Both times we made sure to freeze the canister overnight before trying to make anything, and have found that the ice cream doesn't harden too much when you put it in the freezer, so it remains smooth and easy to scoop. You may want to put the ice cream in the freezer right after making it for a half hour to an hour, because it's a smidge melty. But even if you're anxious to just eat it without chilling it, you won't be disappointed.
