So after a quick look around it appears to be down to the Proof of the spirit, so guess my Polish Vodka is not going to be used then :D

Didn’t check the strength of my rum from Barbados, guess I’ll find out later tonight when we sample my first batch.

He did a strong Rum as well in the video and that worked.

I'll look later to see if it is a particular type of spirit that doesn't freeze.

Do you know what would be easy to make in this that is quite a challenge in a gelato machine?

Pineapple Ice cream, not sorbet, actual ice cream. I've done it once, with pineapple chunks too. It was not easy to balance out the amount of pineapple/juice I can introduce into the cream to get a pineapple flavour and not have it turned into a sorbet.

I suspect you have more room to "fail" in this than a gelato machine.

I’m planning of making something with Coconut milk which is very creamy, I’ll either add lime or pineapple and will be sure to report back.
 
This was a large jar of sweetened mango pulp found in the Asian section of a supermarket and 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan gum.

Lovely and sticky with a nice texture.

I bought one of these early summer and we went kinda crazy for a while but stopped using it as teh freezer was full to the brim with fruit from the allotment.
Planning to start making some again but we were finding them a little dry so needed to add milk or something to loosen them up.

Do people get them out and leave them a bit before mixing?

I was also wondering if better pre processing would help. Adding sugar and not heating means IMO its not properly being distributed.

I have kilos of frozen strawberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants, red gooseberries, rhubarb, and raspberries

Was planning to go cheat mode on rhubarb and custard with some ambrosia and some chunks of rhubarb!
 
I'm just going off piste with recipes making do with what I have in.

Ice Cream
Can of coconut milk
Some double cream
Sugar
Mince pie syrup (coffee syrup)

Sorbet
2 cans of mandarins

Ice Cream
2 scoops Strawberry soy protein
Whole milk

See how they turn out.
 
Soy protein one, needed a bit of extra milk and a respin.
Plus I think it needs some sweetener, have to get some Stevia.
I hear Xanthan gum is handy as well especially for low fat versions.
 
Bit of a bump but I thought I'd share a recipe that has worked well, is low-ish on calories and has a decent amount of protein:


For the base
500g low fat natural yogurt
25g vanilla whey protein (milk powder and vanilla should also work)
100ml skimmed milk
1 sachet of Hartley's sugar free raspberry jelly
250g frozen cherries (Asda and Sainsbury's have 350g bags, the rest of the bag is perfect for the mix-in)

Blend the cherries and milk first, then add the other ingredients to the blender - this will fill two of the ninja creami deluxe pots.

Standard ice cream settings, then add another 25 to 50ml of skimmed milk and 50g of frozen cherries for the mix-in.
