We have been on a sugar free diet for some time and found a recipe for sugar free ice cream to satisfy our sweet tooth.  After digging out the old bucket style ice cream maker, we were soon reminded why we tossed in the attic so many years ago.  What a total pain it was to use, and the ice cream (or ice soup, in most cases) was terrible.  After searching for alternatives, we chose the Cuisinart ICE-21 ice cream maker.  What an amazing appliance!  It literally takes less that 20 minutes to make a delicious batch of creamy, smooth ice cream.  It is so simple to use. No fussing with crushed ice and rock salt.  No leaky bucket.  No deafening grinding for two hours.  With the Cuisinart, when you're ready to make ice cream, remove the container from the freezer, put it on the ice cream maker, turn it on, add the ice cream mixture, wait 15 minutes, then enjoy fresh homemade ice cream.   So easy!
