Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker

I am in love. Never thought I'd say that about a kitchen appliance but you know what they say "never say never." There is a first time for everything. Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons because of the weather and with great weather comes ice cream, popsicles and smoothies on the horizon. This precious item makes 1 1/2 quarts of yummy goodness in 20 minutes or less. Skeptic? So was I, until I saw it with my own two eyes. The double-insulated freezer bowl contains cooling liquid which creates fast and even freezing. Long gone are the days of using rock salt and ice.


I have to say I was a little disappointed after I purchased the item just because I was expecting to make the ice cream as soon as I got home. But the box doesn't mention the freezer bowl has to be frozen before you can make the ice cream. After reading the instruction manual I learned that the freezer bowl should be placed in the freezer for up to 6 to 22 hours. So I had to wait a day. But it was worth it. I made Pineapple-Lemon Sorbet.


Jamba, what? Yogurtland, whom? It's all about JJ (Jamee Jubilee). Until next time my freezer bowl awaits. :P


Pineapple-Lemon Sorbet
