Chocolate Flavors
Plain Chocolate Ice Cream
When all else fails and things tend to go down, uplift the moods with chocolaty goodness. With the Cuisinart ice cream maker at your disposal, you can create as many flavors as you like in the comfort of your home. The best thing is the chocolate ice cream preparation is as easy as ABC.
This yummy flavor requires the basic ice cream mixture and cocoa powder. Reduce the amount of milk to half if you need dark chocolate ice cream. Serve it with Chocolate Fudge cookies, or Caramel no-bake cookies for a whole dessert.
If you are calorie-conscious and want to make Ice cream without heavy cream, incorporate some butter into the mixture. Prepare the ice cream custard and allow it to cool before setting it in the bowl of the ice cream maker. Your delicious cool dessert will be ready in 30 minutes. Garnish with chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles.

Chocolate Marshmallow Ice cream
What could go better than a sweet homemade, chocolate ice cream with super soft and gooey marshmallows? It is rich and creamy, and just like a rocky road ice cream, but without nuts. So if you have a Cuisinart ice cream maker at home, do give this a shot. And you require only basic ingredients like whole milk, vanilla essence, dark chocolate, and some mini marshmallows to make this.
Raspberry With White Chocolate Ice cream
When I talk about creativity and the blending of flavors, this is what I mean. A rich, fruity, and chocolatey blend of flavors, all created in a home-based Cuisinart ice cream maker.
For this ice cream, always use fresh raspberries and blend them to make a thick puree. However, you can keep them chunky for a thick, crunchy texture. Add to the Melted white chocolate and the usual ice cream batter and let the appliance do the rest. Use white chocolate chips (dark ones also go fine) and some sprinkles to make it a colorful dessert after a festive family meal.

Classic Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Skip all those low-calorie diets and indulge in the creamy, crunchy no-bake cookies and homemade ice cream. With the combination of Milk, heavy cream, sugar, and our favorite Oreos, this dessert is worth melting for. Try keeping the Oreos chunky to give a more chewy texture to the ice cream.
Set the ice cream base in the Cuisinart ice cream bowl and allow it to churn well. The final texture depends on the size of the crushed cookies. However, for a solid scoop, freeze for a while.
Fruit Flavors
Strawberry Ice Cream
One of the easiest and most loved Cuisinart homemade ice cream recipes is the Strawberry ice cream. One of the classics, most loved, and creamiest flavors, Strawberry ice cream gets ready in no time.
And for all the vegans out there, this is an egg-free ice cream recipe. You can use vegan milk alternatives, and it will give you the same great taste.
Blend everything except the strawberries. Crush them separately and combine the two in the Cuisinart ice cream bowl. You can always give a twist to the classy strawberry ice cream.
Why not make a strawberry sauce with some flavorful sorbets to pour over the scoops of different flavors you have just made? Serve them for desserts at fun summer pool parties.
Peach Ice Cream
Just like you make Mango ice cream with fresh mango chunks, you can incorporate the peach slices in the usual ice cream batter and make the fruity, healthy homemade ice cream. You can also use a can of frozen peaches if out of season. This is what Cuisinart ice cream makers are for.
If you have the Cuisinart Ice cream machine at home, get creative and make a lot of variations. You can prepare a peach sauce with a vanilla sundae, peach sorbet ice cream, or peach frozen yogurt ice cream. A Chunky peach blend gives a better fruity flavor and texture, but you can make a fine puree if you like smooth ice cream. Blend different flavors and create your own family-special ice cream dessert. The choices are endless.

Banana Chip Ice Cream
If you are looking for a low-fat ice cream recipe for Cuisinart ice cream makers, start taking notes. With zero sugar, zero milk, and absolutely no heavy cream, it is a low-calorie, highly nutritious fruity dessert.
The banana chip ice cream derives its texture from solely one ingredient. Ripe bananas. They make a smooth, creamy consistency to the batter. Chocolate chips not only add a crunch and texture but blend well with the fruit’s taste. Roasted pecans or walnuts also add to the crunch and nutritional value of the desert. So all the health-conscious people out there, this is your dessert!

Mango Kulfi
As I remember my time in Southeast Asian countries, I sometimes crave their rich and hearty desserts. So once I tried to make Mango Kulfi in my Cuisinart ice cream maker, and it turned out well. What’s even better is that it is gluten-free and vegetarian.
Lemon Ice Cream
The tang of lemon and the sweetness of heavy cream and condensed milk! Aaah! Makes a refreshing Lemon Ice Cream as a perfect summer dessert. When churned and frozen, I serve it on waffle cones – that I usually make with the best waffle cone maker – to give a lemony surprise to my family!
This is the best dessert for summer potluck meals or any potluck side dish where you want to enjoy a light and citrusy dessert. The tang of the lemon, with the creamy ice cream, creates a perfect contrast that is sure to please everyone.
To further enhance the flavor of Lemon Ice Cream, incorporate fresh lemon juice and zest for an intense citrus flavor. Besides, you can experiment with toppings such as crushed lemon cookies or lemon curd for extra layers of flavor.

Whenever I have so many frozen strawberries in my freezer, I can’t stop myself from making a dessert. With my Cuisinart ice cream maker, it is even easier. Creamy cream cheese, a blend of strawberries, and heavy cream make a perfect dessert for your sweet tooth.
Nut Flavors
Pistachio Ice Cream
I love pistachio but cannot eat more of it because it’s summertime. Sounds so familiar because it’s precisely me. So why not chop all these nuts and make crunchy pistachio ice cream? It is delicious, nutty, and rich!
Grind pistachios to make a fine powder but keep some of them for chopping to give a good nutty texture. Add to the basic ice cream mix and use the Cuisinart ice cream maker to churn it up. Use a dash of green food color if the mixture appears colorless. Garnish with chopped pistachio and a mint leaf each on one scoop.
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Those who love peanut butter on their toast every day will go crazy for this lovely ice cream. Use your Cuisinart ice cream maker and prepare this nutty and crunchy ice cream flavor.
To make this recipe, you’ll need two ingredients. Some rich and creamy peanut butter and salted caramel. The resulting sweet and salty mixture will give you an indulging ice cream scoop.
The best thing is that if you’re allergic to peanuts, you can use any peanut butter substitute in this recipe. Add it to the regular vanilla ice cream base and let the Ice cream machine do its job.
Butter Pecan Ice Cream
A rich custard base toasted bacon and browned butter make the best version of Classic Ice-Cream. Butter pecan is an all time favorite ice cream of everyone. It makes everyone love its rich, deep, and nutty flavors. It becomes extra special when served with homemade Caramel sauce. Butter pecan is a much-liked ice cream in Summertime. When you want to amuse your friends and family, its crunchy, salty, and heavenly flavors make them wonder how you could make this yummy ice cream at home.
Vanilla Flavors
Philadelphia-Style Vanilla Ice Cream
While many people adore fancy ice creams with blends of flavors and a handful toppings, my all-time favorite is still the classic vanilla ice cream. Serve the vanilla ice cream with options like chocolate molten lava cake, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, or pumpkin blondies for a complete dessert.
So why not make this in a Cuisinart ice cream maker? And yes, this is egg-free Ice cream recipe. So if you are into Philly-style vanilla ice cream, this ice cream is the right recipe.
Beat together the usual ice cream mixture of sugar and milk. Gradually add some heavy cream and a bit of vanilla essence. Churn it up in the bowl of the ice cream maker until a desired smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. Serve as it is, or top up with some colorful sprinkles.

Vanilla Ice Cream With Eggs
Though the Philly-style ice cream might be a good option for all vegans, I must admit that the ice cream gives a great, smooth texture when made with eggs. So here is an awesome recipe for our all-time favorite vanilla ice cream with eggs.
Beat the eggs well and add to the sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the vanilla ice cream mixture. You can also add heavy cream if desired.
Eggs bring out the classic, smooth ice cream texture and make ice cream settle sooner. Churn it in the Cuisinart ice cream maker. To make the ice cream more solid, freeze it for a while and then let it sit for 15 minutes before serving.

Specialty Flavors
Coffee Ice Cream
Who else loves the coffee flavors in all the desserts? The sweet bitterness of coffee tends to reduce the extra sugary flavor, balancing the taste. One of the best ice cream recipes for a Cuisinart ice cream maker is this mildly sweet, coffee-flavored ice cream.
Like your regular iced coffee is chilled, sweet, strong, and aromatic, this scoop of coffee ice cream is similar but indulges you with every bite.
Condensed milk and some vanilla essence add to the flavor and make a nice dessert for executive indoor summer parties. Use your favorite coffee flavors, even decaf, if you want to cut on the caffeine.

Soft serve / soft ice
Soft serve or soft ice is a type of ice cream known for its smooth and silky texture, which you can compare to traditional hard-packed ice cream. It is usually made in a machine that ideally accumulates the air in the creamy mixture while freezing it.
The resulting dessert has a light and creamy texture with lower milk fat than regular ice cream. It is dispensed directly in a cone or cup. The soft serve is available in different flavors like chocolate vanilla or swirls of both flavors.
Fruit Sorbet
Summer is all about those small, flavor-bursting nutritious little berries. They are sweet and pleasantly sour, and when combined with milk, they become smooth in texture.
Grab some fresh produce of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. It’s time to turn them into a delicious cool dessert. Use your Cuisinart ice cream maker and get your kids the frozen goodness of fruits.
To prepare the sorbet, make simple water and sugar syrup and blend it with berries. Use a bit of lemon juice to introduce a slight tang and unique flavor. Add this with the usual ice cream mixture in the Cuisinart ice cream maker for churning. Freeze if required before serving.
Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream
If you have some frozen mangoes in your freezer, then you can use your Cuisinart ice cream maker to prepare delicious frozen mango yogurt ice cream, and that too, all around the year. Not just mangoes, you can use frozen peaches, strawberries, or blueberries too.
It is cool, refreshing, and has a unique, tart-like flavor. Blend the frozen fruit batch with Keto yogurt and all the ingredients to make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. It will yield a soft serve ice cream. To make it firm for serving in scoops, freeze it for up to 2 hours before serving.
Custard Gelato
Ice cream in its purest, whitest, and yummiest form! Custard Gelato is a safe option when you cannot think of any other flavor. It is without any additional aroma or flavor. Just the usual ice cream custard churned into the ice cream.
Nowadays, ice cream is all about fancy flavors, colorful toppings, and liquid syrups to drool for. But the classic crema custard gelato is becoming a rare treat. So give your Cuisinart ice cream maker something different to make, and serve this velvety custard gelato to your family on a hot summer afternoon.
Birthday Cake Ice Cream
If you have a birthday celebration in the peak summer months, skip the cake and celebrate with this delicious Birthday cake ice cream. And that, too, can be prepared in your Cuisinart ice cream maker.
Pick the leftovers of your favorite cake and combine them with the usual vanilla ice cream mixture. Be creative and add fruit chunks or chocolate chips to double the flavors. You can add the desired food colors as well to make it pleasingly attractive after churning it in the ice cream maker, set it in a bowl, and freeze it for a more solid scoop. Decorate with colorful sprinkles for the celebrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on the quantity of the ice cream you are about to freeze and sometimes on the ingredients. The temperature of the freezer is also a variable. Any ice cream with cream cheese, peanut butter, bananas, or heavy cream gets frozen earlier because the high-fat content freezes to a solid state quickly. Ideally, if you have prepared 900 ml ice cream, it will freeze within 30 minutes at a temperature of -12 degrees Celsius.
With a Cuisinart ice cream maker, you can prepare ice creams and desserts easily. First, mix all the ingredients, including fruits, nuts, and cream, required for the recipe. Chill the mixture in the freezer. After around 30 minutes, set the appliance.
Place the freezer bowl onto the machine’s base. Place the mixing paddle so it fixes in the center of the bowl. Set the locking lid over the paddle and twist it to lock the freezer bowl and paddle. Plug in the cord and turn the machine on. Start pouring the chilled mixture into the freezer bowl. The ice cream maker will slowly churn the ice cream and bring a smooth, creamy texture. Check after 20 minutes. Serve immediately when the desired consistency is achieved. You can also freeze the ice cream but place it out of the freezer 15 minutes before serving for an ideal scooped serving.
The key to making a soft serve ice cream in the Cuisinart ice cream maker is to check the consistency repeatedly. Prepare the mixture as per the recipe and chill. Set the appliance and pour the mixture into the freezer bowl. Turn it on at a low speed and check the consistency after 15 minutes. If you think the blend is runny, chill the contents again. Keep checking the consistency of the ice cream until your desired soft-serve ice cream is ready. Serve on cones, waffles, or bowls as desired.
This depends upon the volume of the freezer bowl coming with the appliance. However, remember that the ice cream maker incorporates a good quantity of air into the mixture, so be sure not to overfill the bowl. If the volume of the freezer bowl is 1 liter, always follow the recipe, which requires 3 cups or less than one liter of fluid. Also, always chill the mixture before pouring it into the freezer bowl.
Many factors can be responsible for the ice cream maker not churning. Number one, your mixture might not be fully chilled. Pour all your mix into an airtight container and freeze it for almost 80 minutes. Retry.
If you have added too much sugar or too little cream, milk, or fat content, then the mixture might become runny and not firm up. Try adding fat substitutes for fat if you are calorie conscious. Use the exact amount of sugar as mentioned in the recipe. If all fails, consult a technician to guess the fault in the appliance.
Once you pour the chill mixture and press the start button, the maker will start churning the mixture, and the motor will produce a sound. After a while, approximately 12 to 15 minutes later, you will notice that the ice cream has thickened and is rising. The motor will slow down, and the sound will change. This is when you will know that the ice cream is getting ready. The ice cream gets ready to its nice, fluffy, and soft serve texture in a maximum of 30 minutes.
