Can you make ice cream with it?

I don't know. All I've ever done was blend & make smoothies. Maybe you can look up the brand and see if that's one of its capabilities. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer.

You can make homogenous ice cream mix cum blend,( ingredients per your choice) of right consistency to covert it into smooth (without crystals) end product------Delicious Ice Cream.)

You can easily make milkshakes and smoothies for immediate consumption, using appropriate ingredients. It's not big enough to use the formal ice cream recipe and procedure.

I only use it to make English mince pies. I don't think it would make a good ice cream topping. Too sweet!

You can use this to ice about anything! It has a medium to thick consistency. I think that it tastes pretty well. Obviously, it is not as good as making it from scratch, but in my opinion, it is well worth the time saved! I plan on using this for future birthday cakes that I make.

Yes it does, in addition to ice cream, frozen yougart, sherbet and Gelato. Very easy To use and very easy to clean up. One recommendation is to make multiple batches at a time. Most base ingredients are the same it is the "flavors" that are different. Example I made today Honey & Tyme ice cream, Chocalate Bourbon Gelato and Avocado ice cream this morning. Each make about 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream and we are having company for Mother's Day tomorrow, this will be dessert.

If you pureed the fruit you could(whip out the blender lol). I was out of milk and supplies to make ice cream and made a delicious italian ice with TANG and some fresh oranges put in during the "mix-in" stage. Turned out quite well. I would be concerned about using large chunks of fruit as the motor on the beater isn't over powered.For a nice hard italian ice, i suggest putting it into a container after the ice cream maker is done and freeze it harder. Then scrape from the top with a spoon and enjoy :)

yes. that is actually all we have used it for, homemade ice cream. it is a wonderful little storage unit. I have purchased several more for Christmas gifts this year.

I'm don't think so. It's advertised as being powerful, but I'm not sure it's up to commercial grade. You have put the ice cream in in smaller portions for it to work best.

I use it when making ice cream by simply following the instructions for vanilla and adding a bit of this Matcha as flavoring. I sometimes cheat and use two tablespoons in Hagen Daz vanilla in a pinch.

We gave this to our son, who loves it & uses it a lot. I asked him & this is his response: "I'm not sure on the ice cream maker, since normally I scoop it out and into Tupperware once it's done. That's what I'd recommend; however, it stays cold for quite a while, so once you finished making the ice cream, you could probably leave it in there for a bit - maybe 45 minutes or so? That's just a guess though."

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.

Yes you can, but I would add some ice cubs to it if the item is room temperature or water if the items are chilled. You get a quicker result if you quarter a big fruit or vegetable.

I wouldn't but you could mix something thin like chocolate milk. We have only mixed little blocks, puff balls, paper pieces, etc. I don't want to get anything sweet up into the motor section of the mixer.

I don't think so, it has a specific indent on the bottom that holds it in the machine that spins it. I suppose you could use a mixer to turn the ice cream, but it would take a very long time and wouldn't mix slowly enough. Worth it to get the whole thing, it's only like $75 and includes the freezer bowl. Put the stuff in, set it and forget it!

That won't work since the resulting ice cream will be icy and freeze too quickly. Check out this site for help in making sugar-free ice cream: http://gpinzone.blogspot.com/

Yes, with a strong blender. It is easy to dissove in milk,so I'm sure ice cream wouldn't be a problem. I am assuming this is for a shake?

Yes, with great success. I just made the key lime ice cream recipe in Bruce Weinstein's "The Ultimate Ice Cream Book." It yielded about 1.5 quarts -- maybe a little less -- and the machine worked great.

Yes . Just follow the recipe. If it's ice cream, sherbet, sorbet...whatever. Makes awesome ice cream. One if my favorites is fresh peach!
