Review: If you love excellent ice cream, you really couldn't do better - Amazing piece of kit - makes the finest ice cream you'll ever eat, with minimal effort and you don't have to keep waiting 12 hours for a bowl to freeze! Believe me, once you've had this ice cream, you'll never want to touch any commercial variety again (not to mention goodness knows what additives.) This is a heavy chunky machine that you probably won't want to keep dragging in and out of a cupboard (and it really shouldn't be moved around anyway) so you ideally need permanent space on your worktop. I've sat mine on one of those black oven liners so I can easily slide it aside when I want to clean the granite worktop underneath etc. When the machine arrived, I left it to settle for 24 hours before using it. Next day I made a batch of strawberry gelato and blackberry/mango gelato, using the gelato paddle - pic attached shows the strawberry. The results were out of this world - smooth, creamy and full of fruit. I used one of the online recipes from the excellent 'Ask Chef Dennis' website using fresh strawberries, half full-fat milk/half double cream, lemon juice and granulated sugar (I used less sugar than the recipe called for, as the fruit was quite sweet.) And that was it. No messing about with egg yolks and making custards. You can substitute virtually any fruit. I don't find this machine excessively noisy at all - it's a lot quieter than even most kettles and you can easily talk over it. Some people have also marked this machine down because they say the ice cream is hard to remove from the paddle but I had no problem with that at all - I just used two small silicone spatulas. TIP: get a teaspoon ready to just eat the residue left on the paddle - it's too good to waste! Getting the lid in place can be a bit of a knack but once you've got it, it's very easy - just make sure the small lock icons line up on the lid and the machine. The handbook is very clear and well-written. It's got a small but good selection of basic recipes but I find the (free) 'Ask Chef Dennis' recipes much less of a faff to prepare and give great results. Although the handbook states that 1 litre is the total maximum quantity you should make at a time, I'd actually recommend using slightly less because as the mixture freezes, it expands massively and depending on what you're making and how long your chosen cycle is, it rises right to the very top of the bowl. If your paddle squeaks as it goes round when the mixture starts thickening, a tiny drop of cooking oil or butter on the top part of the paddle spindle where it touches the lid should stop it. You'll probably have to re-apply the oil every time though because it will come off when you wash the paddle. All in all, although this is a relatively expensive machine, it's solidly built and imo worth every penny. My only regret is not buying one much sooner.
Review: It makes delicious ice cream - This is a wonderful product. I have used my Cuisinart FreezeEase Ice Cream maker many times and I an delighted with it. I am diabetic so I make the ice cream without any sugar and I use creme fraiche or low fat healthy yoghurt. The ice cream is delicious. It is ready in under an hour and there are only 3 pieces of the machine to wash. The paddle, the bowl and the lock handle. Everything else only needs a quick wipe with a damp cloth. Love it

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to put alcohol in between the machine and container? In my last machine we had to do this.**
A: No alcohol required to operate the machine.  You can put a little alcohol in the ice cream for flavour but not too much (about a couple of tablespoons) or the ice cream won't freeze!

**Q: Does it work on 220 volts power supply**
A: The UK voltage is actually 230 volts plus 10% and minus 6% which means it can be anywhere between about 216 and 253 volts. So anything rated between these voltages will work - provided the appliance is designed for 50Hz.

**Q: Can I use condensed milk to replace milk  Or cream in the vanilla ice cream recipe**
A: It’s not suitable as a replacement (the consistency comes out semitranslucent and slightly icy) but, you can use sweetened condensed milk as part of the recipe providing you’ve got heavy cream or a substitute heavy cream working alongside it.

**Q: can you make lowfat ice cream**
A: Buy yourself a copy of Cook Nation's book "The Skinny Ice Cream Maker", published by Bell & Mackenzie (ISBN 978-1-909855-49-6), it is full of low fat and low calorie recipes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrade for true ice cream aficionados
*by S***Y on 13 May 2021*

Fantastic ice cream maker! Made several types of ice cream including some with mix-ins. All came out delicious and a lot easier than my old freezer bowl maker as I didn’t have to remember to freeze bowl the day before. The best part is using your own everyday ingredients for any type of ice cream you can dream up. You can control, to a certain extent, how you want your ice cream to taste. Making ice cream doesn’t take as long with this type of machine either. Pour your cold cream base into the insert, set timer and start. Ice cream churns a lot quicker (40-50 minutes) and it keeps ice cream cold for a bit so you don’t have rush to get it into your container. The consistency of ice cream is a good deal better than freezer bowl IMHO so you can eat it straight away or put it in the freezer for a few hours to harden. Wash and dry insert and paddles after and machine is ready to go for the next batch. There are a few minor issues that I found while using it. Pouring the ice cream base directly into machine was a bit messy so I took out the insert to pour the base in and then re-inserted it back into the machine. It’s also a bit fiddly to scrape out just churned ice cream from the paddles but I just use a small spatula and a spare plate on the counter. The unit itself is quite big so you need a bit of counter space near an outlet. I had put off purchasing this since last year due to the price and size but I treated myself a month ago and have absolutely no regrets (except for the extra cm’s around my waist!). If you love ice cream all year round, have people to share it with and have the space, this Cuisinart ice cream machine is a great little investment.
