TYPES OF ICE CREAM
First off, for a frozen treat to be qualified as ice cream, the mixture used to make the ice cream must be no less than 10% milkfat. The higher the fat, the creamier the texture.
Sorbet isn’t technically ice cream. Sorbet is its own category, we’re considering it loosely related to ice cream. Plus, we really wanted to share sorbet recipes. You can make sorbet in the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.
There are several types of ice cream but we’re going to cover the ones we use to make Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Recipes.
Custard Based – Traditionally, many ice cream recipes begin with an egg custard. Custard based ice cream uses a combination of milk, cream, eggs, and sugar, and is first cooked then frozen. We have the perfect recipe for custard ice cream.
Philadelphia Style – Philadelphia style ice cream is simply ice cream made without eggs. It can be made in an ice cream maker, or without, using a few simple steps.
Both types of ice cream recipes work well as Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Recipes.

HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM IN AN ICE CREAM MAKER?
Because ice cream makers can vary from model to model, it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s directions when making ice cream in a Cuisinart ice cream maker.
HOW LONG DOES ICE CREAM LAST?
Unopened store bought ice cream lasts 2-3 months. Homemade Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker recipes stays good for 2-3 weeks, depending on the ice cream flavor.
When in doubt, if it looks bad or icy, throw it out.
HOW LONG IS ICE CREAM GOOD FOR IN THE FREEZER?
Ice cream stays good for 2-3 months if unopened. Once it’s open, it lasts for 3-4 weeks.
When in doubt, if it looks bad or icy, throw it out.
WHAT IS A PINT OF ICE CREAM?
A pint is a US measurement of volume. One liquid pint equals 16 fluid ounces. One pint of ice cream is 16 fluid ounces of ice cream.
HOW BIG IS A PINT OF ICE CREAM?
There are approximately 16 fluid ounces in a pint of ice cream, which is about 2 cups. I prefer to use the volume measurements vs. weight measurements when I’m measuring a pint of ice cream.
It drives us batty when ice cream shops post prices for a pint, which is a volume measurement, but weigh the ice cream on a scale as if it’s a weight measurement.
Volume and weight are different! Rant over.
HOW DO I SCOOP HARD ICE CREAM?
There are a couple of methods for scooping hard ice cream. First, you can allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before scooping. You can also use a heated ice cream scooper. We prefer to set a metal ice cream scooper in hot water for 5 minutes, dry the ice cream scoop, and use it to scoop ice cream.

I just got a Dash “My Pint” ice cream maker. Im finding that 1/4 of a Cuisinart recipe is the perfect size for the 1 cup measurement needed to make ice cream in this.
I wish you had included dairy free recipes. Your recipe looks like you are thinning out the heavy cream with milk. So, most likely, coconut milk would work. Coconut cream alone would be too thick.
Hi Judy,
We are adding more dairy-free recipes 🙂 We recently got our coconut ice cream recipe up and we have an oat milk ice cream on the list for this next month. Here is the link for the coconut ice cream. You can leave out the toasted coconut if you like, and use it as a base for other flavors. I hope that helps!

Can You supplement Splenda for Sugar?
Yes, you can use Splenda in place of sugar. The ice cream may no be as creamy in recipes that use milk and sugar for the base. I recommend sticking to ice cream recipes that use egg yolks in the base, to help it stay creamy. I hope that helps.

I just recently was given the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker to replace my old style ice cream maker when the motor burnt out. Anyways… I’m trying to make White Chocolate Ice Cream (no egg recipe) for Easter. I’ve made 3 batches & done are what I’m looking for. Batch 1 – 2 cups heavy cream, 2 cups white chocolate creamer, 1 cup white chocolate syrup … too soft, too sweet, after being in freezer … turned gummy and then started to separate. (determined not enough fat). Batch 2 – 3 cups heavy cream, 1 cup half & half, 1 cup white chocolate syrup … not bad texture (still too soft for my liking, but tolerable), but just tasted like vanilla ice cream. Batch 3 – 2 cups heavy cream, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 16 oz melted white chocolate chips… yuck! way too soft (runny/gummy), way too sweet, gritty/chunky texture (chip bits must have reformed…ugh). Does anyone have a good White Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe (with no eggs)? PLEASE HELP!! 🙂
Hi Christie,
White chocolate flavor usually comes from using cocoa butter. They also make white chocolate extracts. One idea is to start with a regular base of 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, and 3/4 cup to 1 cup of sugar, then add in the white chocolate extract. Mix it, then poor it into your ice cream maker bowl. You could also chop up cocoa butter and add it during the last 5 minutes of churning.
Remember to let your bowl freeze overnight to make sure it’s completely frozen before using.
I hope that helps.

Can you use all half and half milk ?
Hi Cheryle,
You can but just note that it may not be as thick or creamy depending on the recipe, since the milk fat ration with be different.

Hi, I always end up with a layer of ice cream on the walls and base of the bowl, is this normal?
Thanks
Hi Nigel,
It’s pretty common for ice cream to stick to the walls and the bottom of the ice cream maker bowl. One thing that we like to do, let the bowl sit for a couple minutes, and then take a rubber spatula and scrape down the sides. We don’t typically get clumps doing it this way, as it all freezes together.

I have a 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker. The instruction and recipe booklet got ice cream mixture on a few pages and then stuck together. I finally got the pages to separate but in doing so I lost the recipe for Simple Vanilla Ice Cream and part of the Simple Chocolate Ice Cream.
Your website does not show a recipe for Simple Vanilla Ice Cream. Can you print it?
HI Catherine,
We do have a vanilla ice cream recipe that you can make in the 1.5Q ice cream maker. I hope that helps. You can use vanilla extract in place of the vanilla bean, if you like. https://icecreamfromscratch.com/vanilla-bean-ice-cream/

Hi got a quisinart ice cream maker a few yrs ago for Christmas, I absolutely love it, and use it literally every day, can’t get enough ice cream, makes great sorbet also❤️
Do you have some sorbet, ice cream or gelato recipes replacing sugar with Monkfruit sweetener, Grade A Maple syrup, honey or Agave nectar?
Hi Sally,
You can use honey in most of our recipes, in place of sugar. We also have sugar free ice cream recipe that is going live around the 15th of June, that uses powdered sweetener.
