Hence…
Do ice cream machines make average, good or very good ice cream?
This is important as dear wife doesn’t want to part from her beloved ice-cream.
Upon making, for instance, a gallon will one save considerable over the cholov yisrael brands so that it is worthwhile?
Any recommendations?
How much does an ice cream machine cost? What is used to make the ice cream?
I dont think the ice cream is half as good as the ones that you buy
We have an ice cream maker and we use it- a few points:
– It completely depends on the recipe you use. A good recipe will produce a good ice cream (to compare to cholov stam…our ice creams have been likened to Haagen Daaz and Ben & Jerry’s). A bad recipe will not be as good.
– It is cheaper (or at least it comes close) to buy ice cream (even at current prices) then to make it. Also remember that making ice cream also requires an input of time (better ice cream=more time)
All that being said I think, if you have the time, it can be worth it- you control the ingredients & flavors, no additives, and some of the best Cholov Yisroel ice cream we’ve ever come across.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
for refference we paid about $20 for our machine about 16 years ago)
lakewood: It is cheaper to buy than to make based upon Cholov Yisroel or Cholov Akum brand prices?
cholov yisrael
If you make it yourself, and you use good ingredients, (read: fat and calories and not so cheap) it’ll be great. At the end of the day, if the cost of ingredients went up, either you pay when you make it or pay when you buy it. You can also use it for ices or sorbets.
lakewoodwife, Do you have a recipe for chocolate with no eggs (or no raw eggs) or anything good in general? TIA
Pac- Definitely C”Y but probably both.

kapusta: If it cost more to make homemade ice-cream than to buy ready-made C”Y, then by definition it is obviously more than ready-made C”A (which is cheaper than C”Y).

Huh? I was trying to say that making C”Y ice cream costs more than buying ready made and using C”S products to make it would probably cost more also than buying C”S ready made (especially since major supermarkets usually have it on sale). What was your question?

Both. But it is a great summertime project for kids.
If you make frozen yogurt you can save money (especially if you also have a yogurt maker*).
*Making yogurt is not a great kids project.
All the best recipes have eggs- but NOT raw eggs. The best ice creams are based on a custard. I do have recipes I’ll try to post them later. We use 2 basics, a chocolate & a vanilla. The vanilla serves as the base for most other flavors. We’ve done coffee, strawberry (when bugs weren’t such an issue), & mint quite successfully.
strawberry (when bugs weren’t such an issue)
The bugs only started infesting strawberries recently?
