Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of VillaWare V5100 Classic Ice Cream & Gelato Maker, ElectricCustomer Review: Seems to be a great deal Summary: 5 Stars
This ice cream maker is advertised on other sites for 2 or 3 times as much. The price I paid was a great deal....but it wouldn't be if it didn't work. Well, I made a little spot in my FREEZER (not my refridgerator freezer) and left the bowl. I've decided that I will store in in the freezer to be ready at all times we LOVE ice cream. This machine did a great job in little time and with virtually no effort on my part. I made the "soft" icecream but there was about 1 cup left in the freezer bowl. By the time the dishes were done,this was frozen into hard ice cream.We packed it into a container, but my husband couldn't resist and ate that too so I don't know how it keeps. I made some delicious lower fat,lower sugar pistachio ice cream yesterday as we ate dinner. By the time we were finished,dessert was ready and it was delicious. I'll give you my recipe as it might help some that are having problems. 3/4 cup skim milk ricotta cheese 2 1/4 cups 2% milk 1 4 serving package of sugar free pistachio instant pudding 1/4 cup corn syrup all ingredients EXCEPT pudding mix in blender, blend 30 sec, pour into freezer bowl, mix in pudding mix with rubber spatula, insert paddle turn on for soft, eat dinner. In 25-30 minutes enjoy dessert. Sorry to see so many folks are having problems, but MOST refrigerator freezers don't get as cold as folks think they do. Put a thermometer in and if it isn't at least 20 degrees or colder, not only won't you be able to use this type of ice cream maker easily, the higher temperature could be dangerous to long term storage of your frozen food .
