I have two favorite recipes for this ice cream maker: Instant Pudding Ice Cream 1 (3 ounce) package instant pudding mix (any flavor) 4 cups whole milk 3 egg yolks Beat egg yolks and 2 cups milk till combined. Heat mixture over low to medium heat to near boiling. Cool 15 or more minutes, then add the rest of the milk. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Add pudding mix & stir to remove large lumps (small lumps will disappear during freezing). Turn freezer on before adding mixture. Add mixture & freeze . It usually takes about 30 minutes for soft serve ice cream. Freeze any leftover. It will get very hard. I take it out & place it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds & it will be thawed a little. Be sure your freezer bowl is well frozen before starting.

I have quit using mine, it doesn't work the lid bounces up and down when its running and normally the ice cream is caked to the inside of the bowl, I was glad I didn't spend more on this than I did, not A good investment:(

Mine didn't really work either...I was disappointed. It's probably flour or something.

Hi, I made my first batch of ice cream today and it was fabulous. My recipe called for 1 cup milk, and I used 3/4 cup of lactaid fat free milk and 1/4 cup of light cream. I also used some heavy cream, fresh strawberries and sweet n low (I'm not lactose intolerant, just avoid sugar). It was great, very creamy and easy to scoop, not at all runny.

I dearly wish you had asked this two weeks ago. I received my Thermos and the liner was pulverized. I tried desperately to find a new liner, but they are no longer made. You have to buy a whole new Thermos. So I finally threw away a perfectly good brand new container and pump assembly. I hope your note goes out to all who order your Thermos. Some of them will certainly arrive with broken glass liners. People need to know that SOMEONE can use the parts. I REALLY HATE throwing away good stuff. I tried giving it away to no avail. It SEEMED worthless without the liner. SORRY! Ivan

Mine ,which is just over a year old and having problems for 6 months finally crapped out. It won't even turn on! I am REALLY struggling with having to send it back on MY dime ($25) PLUS send another $10 for them to send me a new one!! What did I do to deserve to have to pay for their crappy machine??? Hoping the store (Kohls) will even-exchange it for me.Update...I walked into Kohls with the machine...in the original box.....explained it was still under warranty. I walked out with a brand new machine...no questions asked! YES! And I didn't pay Cuisenart a dime!

you're welcome. Also, this machine works very well. We have made some really good ice cream with it!

My bowls are fine. Anyone reporting broken bowls must be dropping them while frozen. If you only want to make single servings ice cream occasionally for fun, this is the machine for you. If you want to make a lot of ice cream, go with a bigger machine.

I don't know what's wrong with this ice cream maker, I had to return mine. I followed the instructions and still had much waisted time and ingredients. I've resorted to the good old fashion crank barral ice cream maker and I get perfect ice cream every time now. Try a different maker.

When I bought mine about three months ago I believe there was no power supply in the box? I was not happy given the expense of the HD and then this item. So I bought the power supply. It was either missing the power supply or the Thunderbolt cord. Inspite of feeling nickel and dimed to death when the entire pkg came together Shazam incredible download speed!

Lol!!! Yours was probably dried out. I just slid my fingernail in the lid opening and pop it right up

I had the same problem. It just wouldn't feed. I inpected the paper and found that the top corner was slightly curled. I replaced it with brand new paper from a ream, still it wouldn't feed. I tried it over and over. I used a flashlight to see if there is any paper left inside the printer. I found none. So frustrated after wrestling with this problem for an hour, I shut off the printer and turn it back on. The problem went away. Who knows what really went wrong and what fixed it.

Did you ever figure this out? I lost the little paper that came with it and now I can't use it!

I think the secret to good ice cream with this machine might be to start out with a good, thick custard. I just made the vanilla bean "premium ice cream" (page 8 in the cusinart instructions/recipe book) and it came out great-I substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream and milk (cheaper that way) and used 1 tsp of vanilla instead of vanilla bean. Other than that-I followed the instructions exactly. After 30 minutes in the machine-it came out somewhere between soft and hardserve-so I am letting it firm up in the freezer. Tastes delicious (I ate about 1 cup before I put it away).

The cooling and freezing components have restarted for me. HOWEVER this machine has the absolute WORST ice maker I have had the misfortune to own. I am on a first name basis with the repairman due to several new circuitboards, firmware updates, factory ordered modifications and others. Several times a year! My extended warrenty has expired and the thing gets junked the next time it quits. I'd suggest you buy something else!

Mine couldn't even blend ice cream and milk for a shake, much less crush ice. I ended up buying a Faberware10-speed blender with preprogrammed settings and it's awesome! I've never been able to make such smooth smoothies at home before. No ice chips.
