I bought this on the Cuisinart reputation and it did not disappoint. I wanted to make my own lower calorie, lower carb, high fat & protein ice creams, and frozen treats. PERFECTION!!! I chill my mixtures in the freezer for a short time just before combining in the mixing bowl. It’s not a bad idea to also shoot a little pam/olive oil cooking spray on the sidewalls of this when starting your ice-cream.
