Anyone else make home made icecream using a gelataio machine? I am always looking for more recipies/methods. I reduced the amount of commercial ice cream I eat because of all the added sugar.

I found that using the whole milk with the lactaid tastes the best to me. I blend the milk in a blender first at high speed to add a lot of air before freezing it in the gelataio- the texture is way better. I add frozen berries to the blender for flavor (fresh berries that I froze myself- because commercial frozen berries are heated first to kill bacteria and I can remove rotten berries). Freezing the berries first results in a better blend.

Any further ideas?

    You can make an easy super healthy and all natural soft serve ice cream by freezing banana slices and putting them in the blender. The texture is EXACTLY like real ice cream and its naturally sweet so you don't even need to add any sugar. You can also make flavor variations like chocolate and strawberry by adding in cocoa or other frozen fruit. Google frozen banana ice cream and you'll find a ton of cool healthy recipes :)
