Ice Cream Maker

[M2G 1,836]

Was it difficult to make? I don't cook or bake much so if there are a lot of steps to follow , and a lot of ingredients to add in, I 'd probably mess it up.

I do want to make Protein ice cream though!

No, it was really simple, because, well, the ice cream maker does all the work. I doubled the recipe from eggface, and did 2 cups of 2% milk, and 4 scoops of Protein powder (I used Jay Robb vanilla flavor, it's sweetened with Stevia) and then about 2 tbsp. of vanilla sugar free Jello pudding mix (powdered form.) I whisked it with a hand whisk in a bowl (just to prevent lumps) and dumped it into the machine. The machine did the rest of the work. If you are going to add mix-ins (eggface uses all sorts of SF items to add to hers) you add it to the machine during the last 5 minutes. I didn't add any mix-ins to mine and just did plain vanilla.

And I think the cheaper ones work just fine too, but since this was a bday gift from my hubby, I wasn't going to return it and get a cheaper one lol. He bought this one because it can make 2 qts of ice cream and he thought that would be better since we are a family of 4. The smaller ones would work just fine for 1 or 2 people, easily.

That is great!! I'm wondering if Lactaid milk would work too... since I'm severely lactose intolerant it seems since I got the sleeve. If anyone tries it with Lactaid let me know. Though since I don't eat ice cream anymore, maybe its just best to keep at it with no ice cream? *sigh* What to do!!!!

You can even use soy milk. I have the cheeper one, the cuisinart ice20, I paid $31 including shipping on line for a refurbished one in the box. I'm sure they work the same, but the stainless is Sweeeeet! Happy Birthday! I am not going for anything to icy quite yet, but I made SF ice milk before surgery and it was good. Eggface almost always uses soymilk, and I see recipes for sorbets... so Im sure lactaid would work fine. The freeze is soft serve which is nice, but if you want more of a scoop, just freeze for an hour or so in tupperware. I can't wait for this summer and frozen Protein drinks! (I probably WON'T wait till this summer...)
