I second the cuisinart ice cream maker. We've used it to make Maker's Mark Ice Cream.
Oh, the deliciousness. :wiggle:
Can you send me that recipe?
Ditto! Sounds amazing.

I don't want the recipe, I want a finished sample. :wiggle:

Go for it. Making ice cream is a lot of fun.
For me, I've actually never used those cuisinart freeze tub makers (though I have one in the garage). I've had the interesting pleasure of using Coldelite Soft Serve machines, Lab 100 batch freezers and now the PacoJet.
Yet, the principles of making the mix are all the same.
At the very basic, there's the creme anglaise based ice creams. Egg yolks, cream, milk, sugar heated in a pan. From there, you can go in many directions. The mexican style ice creams tend to be simpler: cream, milk, sugar and flavoring ingredient. Then you can go for a little more industrial and add agents like Cremodan 30, milk powder and other interesting ingredients.
But the experimentation is the fun part so enjoy!

I have a hard enough time avoiding the store bought stuff.

We have a less fun-looking Cuisinart ice cream maker. Doesn't get a ton of use, but has produced some excellent results for us, my favorite of which was fresh strawberry ice cream. Just too delicious.
We did attempt to reverse engineer Humphry Slocumbe's Secret Breakfast ice cream (caramelized corn flakes + bourbon), but the alcohol in the bourbon made the ice cream softer than we would have liked. Still, it sure tasted good.
Guinness ice cream is a real treat. Need to make some more of that soon...
