    Just invested in one that does sorbet and yogurt as well as ice cream, all for under £40 on Amazon.
    Good bit of kit.

    A few years ago, at the BBC Good Food Show at the NEC, Birmingham, I bought the display model of the Cuisinart "Gelato" ice cream maker. I have been using it at least once a month. Juxt put a slurp of vodka or brandy at the bottom of the well, so that the ice cream bucket doesn't get stuck, turn it on to allow pre-chilling, Chuck the ingredients in the bucket, start the notor, and leave it all by itself, churning happily away... 1 litre at the time

    Bliss. You have just reminded me to get the last bit of chocolate eaten, and buy some more stuff to make the next,

    I have made this a few times now. It makes a very creamy and rich ice cream:

    Take some double cream. And some frozen strawberries. Stick em in a blender. Add sugar or sweetner as required. The frozen strawberries turn the double cream into ice cream.

    i had the use of a carpiggiani commercial ice cream machine in the 70's. liquid cream "mix" went in the top--i found out an extra 20% water could be added.....pound notes came out the other end.

    Home made avocado ice cream using avocados, double cream and sweetener to taste. Delicious.

    Set up a Jim's ice cream store! Probably the best in the Philippines.

    my wife makes a concoction using clear jelly--which she scoops with a special tool to make it like spagetti--like a clear slimy wormlike mess. this is mixed up with carnation milk, thick cream, fruit cocktail and syrop. finally-grated cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top.

    its disgusting.
