This machine will make ice cream (soft serve style) out of just about anything, and everything: frozen strawberries thrown in a blender with milk, fat free half and half with rose water, milk and chocolate syrup, etc, etc. You could get fancy and cook up a batch of custard style with cream and egg yolks...if you can afford the calories; but the low cal stuff tastes pretty darn good. I know this machine has paid for itself in the savings from buying ice cream at the store.
Makes the most perfect Pina Colada!:
The recipe had to be adjusted a bit but its perfect for this machine. 12oz. Pineapple juice
1/2 c. Milk (gives it a more fluid consistancy)
1/2 c. Heavy Cream (no ice, this freezes well)
1 c. Cream of Coconut
1-2 tablespoons of white sugar(depends on taste
Cherries
Parrot Bay Coconut Rum Put the pineapple juice in a large bowl, and add sugar and stir until absorbed. Then add the milk, cream, and cream of coconut and stir well.

Beautiful, delicious ice cream:
Perfect ice cream the first time I tried it! Just make sure to freeze the sleeve for at least 24 hours, and you'll never have a problem. Sorbet is my new favorite food... I'm using Dave Lebovitz's "The Perfect Scoop" for recipes - haven't tried any from the cookbook that came with the machine yet. I highly recommend this book!
what's not to love:
There is absolutely nothing I enjoy more than ice cream and this product is a dream come true. It is everything I expected. I love it and use it often.
