Before I became vegan, I LOVED ice cream. I think it was my absolute favorite food !!!!! Ice cream was by far the hardest thing for me to give up when I became vegan.
So I searched and searched for vegan ice cream recipes. Most just did not taste remotely like the real thing. I finally came across 2 or 3 recipes that I combined and ended up with vegan ice cream that was SOOOOOO good - the closest I've had to real ice cream!!!
I actually have 2 ice cream makers; 1 that uses ice and 1 that doesn't. I really like them both.
The Hamilton Beach 68330R 4-Quart Automatic Ice-Cream Maker uses ice. You can make a bigger batch of vicecreme, and I also think the vicecreme turns out "harder" than the other one. At first I thought it would be a pain using one with the ice, but it really isn't.
The Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker does not use ice. The vicecreme is softer than the other, but still comes out good. The one thing I found is the bowl really needs to be kept in the freezer for about a week before using it. There were times I only left it in the freezer a couple of days, and the vicecreme was REALLY soft. The capacity is much smaller than the one that uses ice.
