Purchased ice cream maker in June/July. We made the recipie that came with it. It was horrible flavor and had to be in freezer overnight to have any kind of thickness. Was waiting on vanilla beans I had ordered before we tried again.. Three more recipes later all we have is vanilla cream, no ice cream. The last recipe was a Cuisinart recipe which is a similar style unit. Extremely disappointed in not only the product but the amount of money spent on the ingredients for something that gets dumped.
