can you make Gelato and Granitas in this ice cream maker also?

I don't see why not. All this machine does is churn your base mixture. As far as I know the difference between the types involves different starting ingredients and possibly less time in the churn.

no. Gelato is a different machine that doesn't add air to the mix like an ice-cream maker. you need a different machine for that.

I must admit that I haven't tried yet but I am pretty sure it would work fine. Anything that just needs freezing while being stirred will work.

I do not believe you can. I know, and have made, ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt. Sorry I could not answer your question specifically.

I've been using store bought ice, it takes about half a bag to turn a quart of ingredients into ice cream. Better to make a few batches in advance if you're using trays!

I make homemade ice cream and use the larger size for freezing it. Works great!

Why would you want to add anything bigger than a chocolate chip anyway? The motor probably will not burn out, but it could affect the freezing of the ice cream/sorbet process.

I don't see why not , but then I have never made rose ice cream. They are dried petals. You might want to let them soak up a little water first to better release the flavor. I use them in tea and they are great!

Yes, you can either mix it with colored fondant or with the gel colors. Use a tooth pick to dot the ball of fondant with the color gel of your choice

some gelato recipes come with it, but I have personally never tried to make Gelato yet

Sorry I haven't tried to make that however, it does crush ice well and you can save lots of $$ making your own summer ice drinks like coolattas! Sometimes I put in coffee, or crystal lite, or lemon, or even tea! I have not had enough time to use it BUT when I do, no regrets!

I only have a humble Donvier, and am looking for something like this machine, but I have made Ice cream with Splenda (excellent) and Stevia (not so good, but I think it was bad stevia) and used substantially less of each than the sugar called for in the recipes. Consistency was fine, though I sometimes add a little gelatin if making a reduced fat batch. I would think you could make a no sugar added recipe that's fine as long as you use the Splenda. Not sure about other substitutes.

That won't work since the resulting ice cream will be icy and freeze too quickly. Check out this site for help in making sugar-free ice cream: http://gpinzone.blogspot.com/

You can do it. I always make mine with little or no sugar. What little sugar I do use is raw blue agave. This helps keep the ice cream from being too hard. Too much sugar is gross! Also you can use pineapple which also causes the ice cream to be softer as well as alcohol. Enjoy!

Yes you may. Needless to say, you need to make sure it's in the ice cream milk state.

Yes you can. The machine will knead the ingredients/dough. Just follow the recipe to add ingredients in order and the instructions via the machine itself. Hope that helps.

Hello Catherine, Yes, the recipe book that came with the ice cream maker has recipes for sherbet and sorbet. I have used other recipes other than the ones in the book that it came with and they worked fine. I would think that any ice cream maker would be able to make any frozen desserts. There are also recipes for frozen yogurt.

Yes it does, in addition to ice cream, frozen yougart, sherbet and Gelato. Very easy To use and very easy to clean up. One recommendation is to make multiple batches at a time. Most base ingredients are the same it is the "flavors" that are different. Example I made today Honey & Tyme ice cream, Chocalate Bourbon Gelato and Avocado ice cream this morning. Each make about 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream and we are having company for Mother's Day tomorrow, this will be dessert.

I wouldn't but you could mix something thin like chocolate milk. We have only mixed little blocks, puff balls, paper pieces, etc. I don't want to get anything sweet up into the motor section of the mixer.

I have only made margaritas but since it crushes ice and you add ingredients one should be able to make anything including sugar free drinks.
