There are a bunch of recipes in the book that comes with the ice cream maker, but honestly you can find a ton online that fit any dietary restrictions. As for sorbet I'd have to check the book not sure as we haven't tied to make it. What this product does best over others is the amount it cam make at one time. We are a family of four and are able to make enough to store for about 2 weeks and give some to extended family in our neighborhood as well. Looking forward to the summer to make some for a BBQ.

I have never tried to make a half batch. I have made batches less than a full batch and it worked fine. Breville only wants you to use 3-1/2 cups of liquid so a full batch is only a little over a quart anyway. Most of the recipes in the gelato/ice cream books are just about right for this machine - about 3-1/2 cups of liquid. I suspect most of the machines on the market are about the same.

No. But a Viamix blender will turn granulated sugar into icing sugar. However you need to addcornstarch to final product to make icing sugar.

I do not believe you can. I know, and have made, ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt. Sorry I could not answer your question specifically.

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

I don't think this machine can help you make "mochi ice creams". I haven't done it myself, but using "mochi-ko-(rice flour)"�i���*��jis the way to do it. Make dough from this, and cover ice cream with it.

Yes you can! You can make all kinds of dough and even jams. This machine has a dough cycle so you can use it only for making dough if you prefer to shape and bake in the oven. A good book to get along with it is The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook by Beth Hensperger. It has so many easy recipes and has a great pizza dough one. I use this machine constantly and love it.

no,you can make thick shakes but it takes a little time by adding the ice cream slowly and smaller amounts.

YES! I make Sugar Free ice cream all the time with it. My Fav: 1 part Fat Free Milk, 2 parts Diet Big Red, 2 pkts of sweetner & a dash of Vanilla. SO YUMMY!

No. There are three sizes but it makes ice by freezing around a metal pole so they are hollow but smallest is about one half inch by inch. All the machines work same way. I use ice crusher for smaller chips.

No, this ice cream maker is set up to work in the US. I have family in France, so am aware of the difference in electrical appliances. I'm sure there is something similar in your particular country.

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 :)

this machine is great, but t only makes 3-4 cups at a time. i suggest getting Ben & Jerry's ice cream book because their recipes are about this size. the French Vanilla is oui oui !!

No, it is designed for chunks of frozen fruit. It chops and purees the frozen fruit into a sort of sorbet. It does it well, mind you, but no, you'd have to buy an ice cream freezer to make ice cream.

I have only made margaritas but since it crushes ice and you add ingredients one should be able to make anything including sugar free drinks.

We only made a couple of batches of ice cream before the Edgestar machine quit turning the paddle. We returned this machine and purchased a Cuisinart with the motor turning from below the bowl. The new machine has a separate paddle for gelato. Haven't tried the gelato paddle, but have had great success with ice cream. We get a nice volume increase and smooth consistency. My research after the first purchase was that others had problems with the "motor on top" type of design. Cuisinart had the same design and changed it. We are using the Cuisinart a lot and so far it is holding up well. We only made a couple of batches of ice cream before the Edgestar machine quit turning the paddle.
