Dear Leesa,Yes it can. Here is a review from one of our satisfied customers:This ice cream mix is VERY yummy and VERY easy to make! We used it in the Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine and it was fabulously rich!Regards, DianeCustomer Care

I never have used the mix in a food processor and really wouldn't think it is necessary. If you have trouble mixing because of arthritis, etc. then I would use a stand mixer with a dough hook. I actually use this mix in my Bread machine. So it eliminates all "extra" steps. I use light color Basic Bread setting, 2 lb loaf (a 3 hour cycle) and it turns out great!

I only have a humble Donvier, and am looking for something like this machine, but I have made Ice cream with Splenda (excellent) and Stevia (not so good, but I think it was bad stevia) and used substantially less of each than the sugar called for in the recipes. Consistency was fine, though I sometimes add a little gelatin if making a reduced fat batch. I would think you could make a no sugar added recipe that's fine as long as you use the Splenda. Not sure about other substitutes.

I found this information on line so this is not my own saying but it's what I could find on this waffle maker. Results 1 - 40 of 1500 - Chef's Choice 838 Waffle Cone Express Ice Cream ..... Designed for regular commercial use, it's both NSF ... cETLus, ETL, NSF, ANSI 4 ( Eurodib - WECCHBAT ) ...

We've had this for a month or two - and so far with our experience it seems to depend on the recipe of ice cream you use. The "cook" recipes where you prepare something on the stove top the day before then refrigerate it and mix the following day in the maker seems to be very hard like store-bought ice cream after it's in the freezer for a night. But the ice cream we've made that does not require any cooking has stayed relatively soft in the freezer even after several days. We've only made maybe 3 or 4 different recipes though so it may just be the recipes we're using.

Hi Crystal-I have only used this mixer to make cream cheese frosting. It does well on the mixing part but beware that if you put too much powdered sugar in at once it will POOF out of the openings (there is a small space between the bowl and the splatter guard). I made a cake in it last night. I am very happy with this mixer. I use it to make my own bread. It is not a strong enough or big enough mixer to make a 3 loaf recipe.

sorry, I can't help you. I returned the dessert maker a couple of years ago. I did not like it, it never worked properly.I don't like products made by cuisinart.

Hi Marie, I have not used it for this purpose however if you have a refrigerated icecream machine (as I have-Cuisinart Brand) I would not hesitate to give it a go. The icecream should not leak out after being properly churned. I would make the custard variety mix. Although this is more work it gives a beautiful result and probably not 'leak' as much as a basic mix. Good luck, Aussiechick

Hi there,I use the cuisinart ice 100 frequently to make all kinds of ice cream. I have found that the less I fill the bucket the harder the ice cream comes out, however it never stays too hard because it gets soft very quickly at room temperature. To answer your question, it has been my experience that if you put your freshly made ice cream in a sealed container and then in the freezer, it will harden and behave more closely to store bought ice cream. However, I did notice some 'icing' if I refroze and refroze again.Edit- the responses below also make excellent points. The ingredients and recipe you use, may also be a factor. Hope this was helpful.EMP Hi there,I use the cuisinart ice 100 frequently to make all kinds of ice cream.

When I make our slushies I put the syrup in the bottom like the directions said. I'm certain that you could do the same for the iced coffee. I will have to try it! love iced coffee!

Any kind will work, we usually use on online recipe that uses dishsoap, water, and corn syrup. We love this machine, and it works well!

no if it gets to hard it well break the mixer, 60 mins should make soft ice cream, if you want a thicker add more cream to your mix, and less milk

Hi, It obviously has to touch the plastic churner inside the drum to be able to keep the ice cream moving as it freezes. It never touches the inner workings, the makings go in a removeable container, when it's cycle is complete, you remove the container and take out the plastic turner, your ice cream has the consistancy of soft serve. I usually put it in a Tupperware container and freeze for later use.

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other or the price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machine to freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.

Yes you can make ice cream with it, I had no problem making ice cream with mine, but you have to remember that you need to put a bit of liquid as well. You can watch some you tube videos about making ice cream with a blender. Thank you

Yes if you use frozen ingredients. It is more like soft serve. They have great videos on YouTube on all the features.

In our experience, the ice does dispense "dry" and doesn't clump together (as it tends to do even in my less than one-year-old double door refrigerator). We really love this machine -- to the point that my son bought another one for me for Christmas so that I never run out of ice at home. (I might add that we use unusual amounts of ice, both at the office and in our residences.) This product has been -- for us -- the perfect answer to our needs.
