I need a recipe.  Desperately.

Did I mention that a few weeks ago we bought a Cuisinart SupremeCuisinart Supreme Ice Cream Maker?  Well, we did.

We had an ice cream maker.  We also had two that were powered by our KitchenAid stand mixers.  They all worked great, but having to put the bowl in the freezer cut down on the spontaneity of the thing.  We were always taking the bowl out to shove in a roast or an extra loaf of bread or, you know a couple of Thanksgiving turkeys.  We never remembered to put the thing back in.

Did we need this?  No.  Did that deter me?  Ha!  Obviously not.  It’s ice cream, for goodness sake!

I remember the ice cream makers my folks had when I was a kid.  First the hand crank type that took about 4 pounds of rock salt, 20 pounds of ice and seemed to take forever.  Then the electric type.  Still the 4 pounds of salt and gobs of ice cubes.  Not too much faster, but at least your arm didn’t get tired.

This baby has a compressor built in — it’s always ready!  Like an ice cream maker on Cialis or something.  And it’s quick.  Making a frozen custard is about 30 minutes.

It’s not inexpensive.  Dennis gulped – hard – when he saw the price, but he decided after the 2nd batch that he loves it.  I sometimes see him petting it and whispering sweet nothings into it’s vents.  But that’s another story. It’s definitely worth the money, I have had always been pleased with other Cuisinart products, and well, you know, it’s kinda cool.

Anyhoo…. I made frozen yogurt a few weeks ago and I just threw it out today.  I don’t think either of us ate more than a couple of bites.

Maybe it was the yogurt I used, I don’t know, but it was just too tangy.

Does anyone have a good Columbo style frozen yogurt recipe?  Or maybe advice of the best yogurt to use when make this frozen desert?

Thanks!
