is it just regular ice cream maker?
Yes, it's a regular ice cream maker - has an inner canister with a mixing paddle and a big outer bucket where the ice/salt goes.
The pumpkin mixture I made tonight takes about 25-30 mins to freeze. I just started it when we sat down to eat dinner and it was done when we were.0 -
I just throw 32 oz of plain non fat yogurt mixed with sweetener in it. It tastes exactly like the sweet/tart frozen yogurt from tutti frutti0

Sorbet is always a good option. It is just fruit juice or fruit pulp or a combination of both with sugar to taste. Some fruits need less sugar obviously. I suppose you could use sweetner, but I hate the stuff so I use Fructose which is sweeter than sucrose so less is needed. I also like the tartness of some fruits so don't need so much sugar with many of them.
I saw a recipe for Sorbet Sushi the other day that I want to try - sorbet instead of rice, fruit instead of fish, wrapped in nori and frozen. Lemon sorbet with a strawberry, etc...0 -
Thank you CurvyCowgirl!0

Bumping for the recipe. I have a Cuisinart with a canister that I keep in my freezer. Scored that baby on Overstock for about $6!0

Here is tonight's creation (all the pumpkin threads made me want to try something pumpkin!)
Pumpkin Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (60 cals)
2 tbsp jello sugar free cheesecake pudding (the powder, not the prepared pudding!) (50 cals)
1 5oz container of fat free honey greek yogurt (130 cals)
1/2 cup pure canned pumpkin (20 cals)
1 packet of splenda
1 generous shake of cinnamon
Put everything in a bowl, whisk until combined. Put in the ice cream maker, wait 30 mins (how long it took for me). Eat and feel like you are cheating! The entire batch is 260 cals, I split in two, so 130 cals for a bowl full!
(I guesstimate it turned out to about 4 cups total/2 cups per bowl after the expansion while freezing)
So. freaking. good.
This sounds so yummy!0 -
Tonight is chocolate/raspberry, I think.
Raspberries are on sale near me!0 -

BUMP!!!
I have an ice cream maker but have only used it a few times because I had trouble finding good recipes for it.0 -
I have been thinking of getting an icecream maker.....I have so many I'd like to make, chocolate/cherry, chocolate/coffee, vanilla/lime, ohhhhh the possibilities would be endless and I could totally make them all dairy free, the variety of non milk based icecream is not very good so this would be so nice to have.0

Thanks for the recipes Curvy Cowgirl. My wife makes great icecream in ours but it's not always healthy so these will be great ones to try. I especially like the sound of the pumpkin one. I like everything pumpkin and my wife makes a great pumpkin Cayanne soup that IS healthy and filling. Keep those recipes coming for the rest of us!!0

i live in europe and the general consensus here is: have a little bit of the real thing or have nothing at all. with that in mind, i make REAL ice cream which includes double cream, milk, egg yolks, raw sugar, a pat of butter and whatever flavoring i choose. then i scoop out my little portion which is about 1/4c (60g) and enjoy it. ok so granted that tiny portion is 250 calories, it is worth every single bite. and that little portion with all its creamy-smooth silkiness (thanks to the double cream) goes a very very very long way.0

I ordered a Vitamix that you can make ice cream in. Is a bit pricey but I can also make soup with no salt (actually is hot and cooked in 4 min) and ice cream in about 1 min. In the same machine. It has a lot of other options so I was ok with the price. Still waiting for it to arrive so I can play with it.0

I do have one of those, I'll try it. I love icecream!0
-
wow You all have the best ideas
I'm gonna make that pumpkin ice cream
