Can you make ice cream in it?

No. Don't aware your money. I tried mine once and it was an utter waste of time and money.

Not really. It's designed to turn frozen fruit into a creamy ice cream like dessert. It has no freezing capacity.

No, it is designed for chunks of frozen fruit. It chops and purees the frozen fruit into a sort of sorbet. It does it well, mind you, but no, you'd have to buy an ice cream freezer to make ice cream.

Of course! It's a very powerful blender. I've blended many batches using frozen ice cream in the base.

NO. This is a wonderful ice cream machine. Nothing is required except to put the churning bowl in the freezer in an upright position and freeze it prior to use, then add your ingredients and turn it on.

The ice cream is cream not icy, but just be careful on the amount putting g in as it become to thick and will not run, it also will pop the top part of right off

No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question... No, i don't believe it can. It has a tiny little freezer section in the top corner but that only freezes enough to make ice. If you were to put ice cream in either frig or freezer it might stay really cold and formed but it will become very very soft like it was slowly melting or something. but ice cream bars seem to stay frozen in the freezer part (bars like ice cream snickers or just regular candy bars,butter,ice) things of that nature.Well, i hope i was of some help to you with this reply. Feel free to ask anything else you need to know about my experince with this purchase. I'm happy to help. No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question...

You can, but it makes 2 pints at a time. Normal ice cream recipes will make 2-3 pints.

You can definitely store the aluminum canister that is on the inside of the machine into the freezer. My family has always done that for years, it has a plastic twist on/off cover. You could also put your ice cream into plastic containers, leave room for expansion. It doesn't last very long, because it tastes so good!

I make homemade ice cream and use the larger size for freezing it. Works great!

Yes, you can make ice cream in this unit without eggs. The unit comes with a recipe book that includes the recipe for eggless ice cream.

The website for the ice cream maker has some recipes (www.nostalgicelectrics.com). I used the chocolate ice cream recipe. It was delicious!

I would not recommend it. The instructions state specifically for home use only. It is a wonderful ice cream maker and I highly recommend it for home use.

We gave this to our son, who loves it & uses it a lot. I asked him & this is his response: "I'm not sure on the ice cream maker, since normally I scoop it out and into Tupperware once it's done. That's what I'd recommend; however, it stays cold for quite a while, so once you finished making the ice cream, you could probably leave it in there for a bit - maybe 45 minutes or so? That's just a guess though."

Sure can! Steak, chicken, nuts, even ice for snow cones. Powerful little machine!

I think the instructions said not to, but there's not a top, I just transferred mine to a plastic bowl with a lid & it did just fine, it froze like normal ice cream although it seemed to get softer faster, which I like!! I was really impressed with it, I just followed the instruction in the manual & made the recipe for the chocolate ice cream that was in the manual

Yes. I use it for ice cream, watermelon and cantaloupe. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

It takes about 25 minutes to make the Ice cream and I used about 3/4 of a small bag of ice. I did over fill it as there is a hole that marks how much ice to put in or it runs out as it melts. If you could, have a couple more trays on hand in case.

I don't think this machine can help you make "mochi ice creams". I haven't done it myself, but using "mochi-ko-(rice flour)"�i���*��jis the way to do it. Make dough from this, and cover ice cream with it.
