Homemade Frozen Treats with a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
Nothing beats a cold treat on a sizzling hot day. Instead of driving out to the ice cream shop when you want to cool down with something sweet, try making your own frozen desserts from the comfort of your kitchen. Whether you're craving frozen yogurt, sorbet, ice cream, or all of the above, Abt carries Cuisinart frozen treat makers to churn out delicious desserts. With 1.5 or 2 quart options, you can make enough for the whole family or a gathering with close friends. For reference, these sizes are the size of a large container of ice cream you would find at your local supermarket. Despite their ability to make large quantities of ice cream, these appliances are surprisingly compact. If you have the counter space, they can easily be tucked away while not in use but are also not too large to fit into your cabinets. One of the biggest benefits about adding a Cuisinart ice cream maker to your kitchen is that you can completely customize your frozen treats. There are options that make various combinations of frozen yogurt, sorbet, ice cream, or a combination of the three so you can make your favorite dessert as often as you want. Customization is also a factor in the specific recipes you choose. If you don't consume dairy, you might be frustrated at the lack of tasty dairy-free options at the store. With your own ice cream maker, you can use your favorite non-dairy alternatives to create the exact flavors you want. Cuisinart ice cream maker machines are also great for people with food allergies or sensitivities; if you're making your own frozen treat from scratch, you'll know exactly what's going into the recipe and can avoid cross-contamination with potential allergens.
There's no limit to what you can do with your ice cream maker. Making ice cream is a great activity to do with your kids whether it's hot out or not. Come up with fun and funky flavors using their favorite cookies, candy bars, or even chips. The great thing about ice cream makers is that they're easy to use so it's not complicated for little ones; you more or less dump the ingredients into the frozen bowl and press a button to start churning. Delight guests at your next dinner party when you serve everyone their own scoop of sophisticated fruit sorbet. If you're looking for a unique gift idea, why not make your loved one a custom ice cream using their favorite flavors? Cuisinart includes recipes with all of their ice cream machines so if you're not sure where to start, you can start with their recipes as inspiration.
