No because it liquifies, it doesn't blend. Get an old fashioned milk shake maker! And some Carnation malted mix powder (plain, not chocolate) while you're at it and I'll come visit you!

I can't see why not. Its a very loud machine though so you might need one of those sound dampers for it. First time I turned it on my mom and dog both jumped off the couch :)

You can use the steamer to make any kind of drinks. Just but the pwoder with the milk and steam it and it will be the same as in any coffee shop.

This is solid, hard candy and holds up very well for warm drinks. I would imagine it would also be strong enough for ice cream.

Probably, but a blender would be a better way to go on for ice. This is more for dry food and sauces.

No, because the paddle that comes with this machine only makes gelato. Gelato and ice cream are different. Ice cream is a churned frozen dessert that has an overrun of 25%-50%(this means that if you add 1 qt of base into an ice cream machine, approximately 1.5 qts will come out). Gelato has an ideal overrun of 10%, which means 1 qt gelato base is going to be 1 qt and about half a cup gelato. The difference in ice cream and gelato is not necessarily ratios vs fats...it's about how much air is whipped/churned into the final product. The paddle for this machine is a gelato paddle. You'd need a different kind of paddle to make an ice cream in this machine.

That I am not to sure of in terms of making homemade ice cream, but I would probably put about 3 teaspoon full of the flavoring if your making a cup size batch of ice cream. If your making a cake from scratch, mix the coconut flavoring with the peach flavoring in your batter for a killer out of this world taste.

Yes and no. It is good for 1, maybe 2 scoops. If eating serving size yes, if making a big sundae this would be too small. But could put scoop, a topping, whip cream and cherry

Anything that requires a heavy cream you can use Dream Whip. We use it to make Ice Cream. Also to make carmel sauce and any sweet sauce. If you have any questions, contact me. I have been cooking at a remote lodge for 15 yrs. I will contact you in a few days. I'm out at the remote lodge in Alaska. Diana

No, it is designed for chunks of frozen fruit. It chops and purees the frozen fruit into a sort of sorbet. It does it well, mind you, but no, you'd have to buy an ice cream freezer to make ice cream.

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

The website for the ice cream maker has some recipes (www.nostalgicelectrics.com). I used the chocolate ice cream recipe. It was delicious!

One other thing. I returned the Whynter ice cream maker since it was not working properly. The better ones that I know of in the $200+ range are the Breville and Cuisinart compressor ice cream makers. Both have extensive reviews.

Yes, it is great for making a ice cream-like mixture with bananas or other fruit. It makes the fruit very creamy. I can't remember which nozzle to use but it is the one with few slots in it (that is, you dont need to strain when you are making "ice cream").

Yes it would, I just had a slushie made on this model at a friend's place, which is why I'm snagging one now. Just look up "slush syrup" or "snow cone syrup"... the options are limitless. You can also use juice, which I have to say is pretty great. Pineapple and orange in a slush, with a bit of simple syrup and lemon juice is awesome. (simple syrup: cook equal amounts of sugar and water for about 15 minutes below a simmer)

Yes, with great success. I just made the key lime ice cream recipe in Bruce Weinstein's "The Ultimate Ice Cream Book." It yielded about 1.5 quarts -- maybe a little less -- and the machine worked great.
