Puddings Ice-cream Machine and Ice-cream Update

[ermintrude]

Mmmmm what are these actually like? I was never really going to do this but Ive seen a decent one for 20 squid so kinda thinking what the hell... But Im only really a fan of 'proper' ice cream eg Haagen Dasz, Ben & Jerry's, Green & Black's... I dont think Id want it if its like a frozen Muller or cheapo supermarket-own-brand stuff (although at 20 squid... )

I would be using the more creamy Total 2% I think, or have a go at the tofu idea?

Happy with the one I got.. Ben and Jerry's actually have an ice cream recipe book out to use with an ice cream maker..

 

[ermintrude]

I dont mean the machine, I mean the ice cream that comes out of it Is it more like a creamy Haagen-Dasz/Ben & Jerrys kind f thing, using the ingredients we do, or is it more like a frozen Muller light/cheapo supermarket own-brand ice cream? If the katter then I probably dont want one, if the former then I do.

I think you can tell that it is frozen yogurt, but until last night I have never eaten it so no idea if tastes the same shop brought frozen yogurt..but all I used was muller light yogurts, so can't comment on taste with other ingredients.. Sorry

i just had a toffee muller in the ice cream machine and put on chopped banana mixed it in omg so much better than just pouring over yogurt

No it should turn until its frozen and ready to eat.
It sets like a Whippy icecream. If you want it harder it needs to Jo in the freezer.

It isn't like Ben and Jerrys - because it's not cream. I have made real icecream - using eggs and cream and all the naughty stuff and it was delicious. For me it's lovely in summer - and it feels naughty!! Frozen tofu is yummy - I haven't tried Greek yog but would imagine it to be creamier!!

That's what I'm trying next Greek yogurt... Might just try some crunched up maltesers in with it.

Well it arrived today, put the bowl straight in the freezer and got some Onken strawberry fat free yoghurt whilst shopping. Took 20 mins to churn and hey presto. My girls weren't too keen, but that's fine more for me! I've only had a small taste for now, going to have some with fresh strawberries in a bit, so I've put it in the freezer.

Very pleased with my purchase, off to jot down all the recipes I want to try now.
