I scream, you scream, we all scream for rich, creamy ice cream, especially in the hot summer months. And, how we love it when it is homemade.

Making ice cream is as easy as pie. . . actually easier! All that you need is some space in your freezer to store a compact double insulated freezer canister, and luscious homemade ice cream can be just 30 minutes and one flick of an "on" switch away! We love the Pure Indulgence - Cuisinart 2-quart model. It is so easy to use. Simply mix the ingredients, pour it into the frozen canister and turn on the machine.

And, yes we certainly can help you rationalize the investment in an ice cream maker by explaining its benefits. The ingredients are just as you want them... frozen treats made without corn syrup and artificial ingredients. Cleanup is easy. And, best of all, it is so much fun creating delicious desserts. Enough said!

After trying several flavors, our favorites are still "good ole" vanilla and chocolate... with optional add-ins such as caramelized almonds, chocolate chips and sometimes vodka. (The vodka adds extra creaminess). However, our team of tasters (2 willing children and one husband) voted for vanilla flavored with fresh backyard grown organic mint and chocolate chips. Some of our preferred toppings are strawberry sauce and of course hot fudge with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.

We experimented with ice cream mixtures made with heavy cream and whole milk as well as lower fat versions made with 2% milk and a small amount of cream. All were delicious, but of course, who can resist the full, rich creamy variety!

Yes, non-dairy almond milk, soy milk or coconut milk may be substituted for the dairy products, so parve (dairy free) ice cream is also an option. Yes, we think that the Cuisinart ice cream freezer is a "must have" DIY kitchen tool.
