Easy (40 second) egg free vanilla icecream

[Meagan]

You obviously threw out enough hints Cookie  Tell me, why is it called a compressor icecream machine - are all ice-cream makers called that?

Judy that is the icecream churn/maker that doesn't have a bowl that has to go in the freezer. You just put the mixture in and hit the button and it churns it instantly then you can do another batch straight away.

Thanks Meags, crystal clear now - that is the type I would want. Who has room in their freezer in which to store a permanently empty bowl

That was my problem too. Dh has just placed an order with Snyder's in the US for some Model A parts so I thought what the heck. It makes 1 litre at a time and I thought we could have 2 or 3 flavours going at once. I looked at the instructions for the machine on line and you can make low fat icecream without the icicles appearing in it. Now I just have to wait until Chriustmas day.

I made this recipe again today-I used 30g of cocoa and 1 tablespoon of kahlua for a chocolate taste this time.

Nice what sort did you ( father Christmas) order lol

Sunbeam. The Cuisinart looked good too, but I couldn't really justify the extra $200 or so. The Good Guys at Cannington gave me a very good price with the opening of their new shop. Oops-gave Santa a good price.

Could I substitute the cream for coconut cream?

[cookie1]

Does it have a similar fat content? Maybe half and half. Why not give it a go? I'm sure it will taste nice.

Well the cherry ripe icecream was a hit!  I used the recipe in this thread as the basis for it but here's my version...

100gm block chocolate (I used Black & Gold organic Maya Gold)
400ml coconut cream
200ml cream
395gm sweetened condensed milk
250gm frozen cherries

Chop chocolate 4 seconds speed 6.  Remove from tmx.

Butterfly in.  Whip coconut cream, cream & condensed milk (I did this for 1min20sec on speed 4 waiting for it to form peaks but it doesn't, so I guess 30 seconds on speed 4 would probably do)

Add 175gm frozen cherries. 15 seconds on speed 5
Add 100gm chunked up chocolate. 6 seconds speed 3
Add the rest of the cherries & mix 5 seconds speed 1

Pour into freezer container & freeze.  After a couple of hours give it a stir.  I didn't stir mine (I fell asleep!) so all the chocolate & cherries settled on the bottom.  But it was still AWESOME!

Enjoy!

Congratulations. I made peanut butter icecream yesterday. Lip smacking good.

[cookie1]

We had a box of maltesers from Christmas so I blitzed them in the TMX and added them to this icecream. It is lip smacking good. Really beautiful.

cookie1 - was the peanut butter one made from this version?  Mmmm maltesers one does sound good, did you leave it chunky or blitz it fine?

For Christmas I made:

*  The caramel version (with top & fill), I reserved a little caramel to dob on the top of each individual serve cup.
*  Strawberry and marshmellow with 100s & 1000s on top.  I used the dried strawberries as previously suggested and added in some chopped up giant marshmellows.
*  Coffee with some sugar coated almonds on top.

I was very happy with them all, as was everyone else.

Rubyslippers the maltesers one I blitzed them to a fine powder and just folded them through this versioin of icecream. The peanut butter one was a different recipe. Would you like me to post it? It's yummy.

cookie1 - I am looking forward to trying out the malteser version, I am sure my DS will love it too!  I would really like to try the peanut butter one (especially if it's anything like Reese's Pieces, which I love).  If it's not too much trouble please?

Cookie1 how are you finding your new ice-cream maker?  Am thinking of getting one, but not sure I can justify yet another kitchen gadget, especially since we can just make icecream in the TMX and throw it straight into the freezer.  Do you make churn it in the icecream maker and then transfer it to another container to store in the freezer??  How does it work?

[cookie1]

KJH I love it. I make the icecream in the TMX, then transfer it to the icecream machine. It stirs and freezes and aerates for 40 -50 minutes, then we sometimes have some as soft serve but usually I then put it in the freezer. I guess it is an expensive toy. One of the ones with a bowl you put in the freezer is good too. I had one but do prefer this one.
You transfer it from the icecream machine to another container for the freezer. If you wish you can then make another lot immediately.

Will post the peanut butter icecream over the weekend. It is only peanut butter flavour, not like Reeces peanut butter and chocolate things)
