I never thought making ice cream could be so easy. I don’t like refined sugar so I found a recipe in the recipe book that comes with the machine which used agave nectar. I substituted honey and OMG the most delicious, creamy ice cream that I’ve ever had. This machine can also make gelato and sorbet. But the best part about it is that it’s super easy. Mix the ingredients, refrigerate and pour into the machine then just wait until it’s finished. This isn’t the only appliance I have from Cusinart. I’ve been a fan for years and it’s the first brand I go to when I need an appliance. You will not be disappointed with this ice cream maker. Easy, clear instructions and the ice cream mis delicious. Can’t wait to make the gelato and sorbet.

My family loves the creative stuff I put in the one of a kind ice cream. Have been creating for 3 years.

The ice-70 works well. I have made several different types of ice cream and they all come out smooth and creamy.

I purchased the Cuisinart Cool Creations 2 quart ice cream maker based on the wonderful reviews, and for the most part we are quite happy with the purchase. The machine seems well constructed, although I do wish the churning paddle was made of metal instead of plastic for extra stability and longevity. The unit is easy to use, but you must follow the directions exactly regarding how long to freeze the bowl before use to get the best results. Additionally, we are struggling a bit to produce a product that is consistently smooth and creamy rather than grainy and icy, but I'm not sure if that result is because of the machine or the recipes we have tried.
