Question: Is it good for making low fat ice cream and low fat frozen yogurt? Some reviews say that it makes good ice cream if fat content is high, but I intend to buy only if it can make low fat ice cream. Thanks.
Document: It comes with a recipe book with recipes for ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbets, and frozen drinks. One can be creative and create their own recipes making them low fat, or including blended fruit to sorbets, ice cream etc. It is best to store the ice cream in a separate container (perhaps plastic reused ice cream containers). I would definately recommend this to anyone and would be pleased to give it as a gift.
I have made 5 different frozen yogurt and low fat ice cream recipes from the book and off the internet. All excellent. Need about 45 min in the freezer after making. Soft serve consistency on completion. NO problems freezing as long as all ingredients are ice cold and bowl is well frozen. I froze 24 hours. SOO easy. Clean up a breeze. List price on Cuisinart web site and most other sellers list price was same as Amazon's "sale" price.
I've tried with cream, 2% milk, and half-and-half combinations - so far the cream/2% milk combo seems to work the best. I intend to try ice milk, frozen yogurt and gelato as well. I suggest, just in case, that you do buy it from a place that has a liberal return policy, but I have had only good experiences with mine so far.
I bought this out of sheer desperation. I've been on an ice cream craving kick all summer and was starting to put on the weight thanks to all the grocery store summer ice cream specials. Since this machine makes frozen yogurt I bought it to hopefully curve my craving with a similar but less fattening frozen treat. My local grocery stores don't offer a great range of frozen yogurt flavors. After reading the reviews, I made a point of putting the insert container immediately in the freezer and left it there for 2 days.
Well, it is cute and you can make a decent ammount of ice cream with it, which I did like.I made my first batch of Fat Free Frozen Yogurt, used high end yogurt and vanilla, followed the recipe in their cook book. It tasted great. Through it in the freezer to harden up. (Was in soft-serve state.) When I pulled it out, it was a rock. Frozen solid. Unscoopable.
My husband has been trying to lose weight but loves ice cream and has always had dessert. With this ice cream machine I am able to make him low fat no sugar ice cream, gelato and frozen yogurt all of which are extremely simple yet really delicious.
Or if you throw in something room temp at the end (like fruit), it may cause the ice cream to melt. Rule of thumb: just make sure everything is cold.After trying a few recipes in the book that came with the ice cream maker, I eventually devised my own recipe for frozen yogurt. (I wanted something healthier than the usual cream and eggs.) The base is 3 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt, 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup sugar.
Well I bought this machine after like many others, mulled over which machine to buy. I have no regrets whatsoever.I orginally bought this machine to make ice cream and other frozen deserts for my family. We have a son with milk and egg allergies and I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and if that weren't enough, we're all on a low fat/healthier eating kick. Trying to find ice cream for everyone is a challenge and when you do, it can get pricey.
We bought this to make low fat ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet.We keep the bowl in the freezer, along with the bowls we use to store the ice cream.
The positive reviews for this product are overwhelming, but I'm still a little nervous after reading even a few negative reviews. I purchased it anyway and I've been SO happy with it. It's extremely easy to use, makes very good, creamy ice cream in minutes (20 for me)! I have nothing bad to say.The bowl does have to be frozen; I leave mine in my freezer so I can use it when I feel like it.
Answer: I use mine almost exclusively to make low-fat frozen yogurt. It works very well. The key is to make sure all your ingredients are cold before you put them in the machine (including ingredients, like fruit, that you add near the end). The yogurt is pretty solid after about 30 minutes. I've been very pleased with this machine.
