When I found out that Cuisinart had released a brand-new model of their ice cream machine, I asked if they would let me give two away on my site. And I was happy when they agreed!

I’ve been using my ICE-50 for a number of years, which is self-refrigerating, so I can make ice cream and sorbet whenever I want and not have to pre-freeze the canister. It’s the machine I relied heavily on when churning up with the recipes in The Perfect Scoop.

The next generation of this machine, the ICE-100 ice cream freezer will churn up 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream or sorbet with the use of an internal compressor. And now that summer is almost here, it’s the perfect time to add an ice cream freezer to your kitchen.

To enter, leave a comment with the name of your favorite flavor of ice cream, sorbet, or sherbet. Only one entry per person is allowed and please leave a valid e-mail address so you can be contacted if you win.

NOTE: The give-away is now closed. The winners were chosen at random, and are Katie S. and Blaine W, who have been contacted. Thanks to all who entered! – dl

The comments will be closed on Tuesday – June 19, 2012, at 6pm Paris time. Please read the rules below carefully before entering.

Nectarine Sorbet

Good luck – and happy churning to the winners!

    • Vicki

    Espresso ice cream, coffee with ground coffee bits throughout, served with a mini macaron in a tiny, translucent envelope at Wil Wright’s Ice Cream Parlor in Beverly Hills in the olden days. So rich that I could scrape the butterfat off the roof of my mouth with the tip of my tongue. Glorious days before cholesterol count reared its ugly head.

    • Kate

    Such a timely offer! I saw a recipe for David’s chocolate sorbet and decided to make it yesterday for my chocolate loving father and husband for Father’s Day. I had to borrow a neighbors ice cream maker. The chocolate sorbet was divine and now I am hooked! I am looking at my garden and the strawberries and raspberries growing and dreaming of turning them into ice cream! My favorite? Hard to choose between chocolate or fresh berry!

    My favorite flavor is simple…….vanilla. Or it could be the memory of all the summer Sunday afternoons spent having to sit on top of our old hand crank machine while my daddy cranked for what seemed like hours. What I wouldn’t give to have him here today & be able to do that one more time. With every spoonful of vanilla goodness I think of my daddy.

    David, how fantastic, I like the Chocolate Ice Cream from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams that you posted (made with the tapioca syrup and tapioca starch ~ which takes a little fiddling because the amounts are not the same as the corn syrup and corn starch ingredients in the substitution).

    When I was little (in the 1950s and early 60s) we made ice cream in the hot muggy summers in New Orleans with a hand churned device that was entombed in ice and rock salt inside of a wooden bucket. It said ‘Alaska’ on it and that wonderful cold place seemed unimaginably distant but probably wonderful from the vantage point of Louisiana’s sub-tropical summer. My favorite then was peach made with Georgia peaches.

    Ah now, a giveaway and an avalanche of arrivistes; après moi, le déluge!

    • JoAnn C.

    Mackinac, (pronounced Mack-in-awe), Island Fudge. Oh so good!

    • Cassie

    Toasted coconut from Perfect Scoop!

    • Sue Smith

    I know it sounds boring but, Vanilla!!! :)

    • Karen Deyle

    I think it’s not just the flavor, but the memory associated with it. For me it would be my 40th birthday, and a solo trip to Paris. I wandered all over the city, but returned several nights to a shop in the Latin Quarter for Pear Sorbet. I can’t tell you the name, and maybe the memory is sweeter for not remembering,

    • Diana

    Nutella ice cream or gelato with some caramelized hazelnuts on top

    • celia

    Mint chocolate chip, coffee and cantelope. Not all together of course. I had a hand cranked ice cream maker years ago…but I’ve been eyeing the Cuisinart for a long time. Thanks for the opportunity. It’s summer time and the weather calls for ICE CREAM!!!

    • lynn

    Love most flavors but chocolate always wins

    • Anne Bourget

    Noyau Ice Cream (kernel of apricot pits used) is out of this world. I use Lindsey Shere’s recipe in her Chez Panisse Desserts. Second choice is also another of Lindsey’s: Rose Petal Ice Cream from the same book. Both are worth the trouble.

    • Gloria

    Pistachio!

    • vivian

    grapefruit basil sorbet…….unbelievable and when made with pink grapefruit, unbelievably beautiful.

    • SteveS

    I roast my own coffee and make a tiramisu ice cream with an espresso chocolate swirl

    • A2Jen

    Wonderful! A simple lemon sorbet hits the spot in hot weather. <3

    • Colleen

    • Dan

    Coffee Oreo

    • Rebecca Angell

    So many wonderful flavors posted! They all sound like great ideas for you, David ;)
    Thank you for being so thoughtful of your readers, no doubt it’s part of the reason that you have such devoted fans!

    P. S. My favorite ice cream right now is raspberry dark chocolate chip.

    • Susan

    Hmmm. Best flavor to make is banana walnut. I can only imagine how even more spectacular it would be in a fancy new ice cream maker from Cuisinart!

    • Verna

    I love chocolate mint. An ice cream maker would make this summer perfect!

    • Lylah Ledner

    Fingers crossed here at my suburban farm in scottsdale …. Having a small herd of Nubian dairy goats I’d use this to make peach sorbet with our goats milk…then I’d pour our gourmet caramel all over the top and call it “very good.”

    • Kate Turner

    Salted caramel

    • Kelsey Bowlby

    Rocky Road- nothing fancy but always good :)

    • Patty

    Caramel!

    Vanilla. No matter how many other flavors I try and like, I always come back to the pure taste of vanilla ice cream.

    • Catherine

    I love cinnamon ice cream!

    • Rick Kazmer

    Tough call, strawberry if they are really good and in season, if it is gelato, definitely pistachio. Otherwise maybe salted caramel?

    • Carmen

    Bonjour: JAMOCA ALMOND FUDGE ice cream is to die for!

    (merci beaucoup for thinking of us all re this little give-away!)

    • Deborah Austin

    CHOCOLATE!!

    Me and my dogs like pure vanilla – Philadelphia, not French (sorry).

    • Joyce

    Pistachio ice cream!!!

    • Carolyn

    Ice Cream more than any other dessert evokes strong associations for me. So it is home made Blackberry Ice Cream…… for memories from my childhood days during the summer months after a swim in the ice cold New Hampshire lake !

    • Liz Becker

    Lime sorbet is my fave!

    • Betsy

    Dark, dark chocolate – I’ve been experimenting with a recipe that uses 85% cacao chocolate, dark cocoa, and not much sugar. Yum!

    • Kelly Fagan

    Honey and whiskey!

    • Darienne McAuley

    Orange-Szechwan Pepper Ice Cream above all.

    • Matthew Razook

    Fresh strawberries and homemade vanilla ice cream is the best!!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win, good luck everyone.

    • Martina

    Black sesame ice cream. So good!!

    • Lauren Browne

    Picking just one should be a sin! Toasted coconut peanut brittle ice cream is delightful but I’m currently hooked on a local flavor in my town: Bourbon bacon ice cream. Yum!

    • Mikki

    • Laurie

    Your chocolate ice cream in the Perfect Scoop to which I add mini marshmallows and almonds to make the most fantastic Rocky Road ever!

    • Sara K.

    David, this is such a great idea, and one lucky winner will enjoy making his/her own ice cream at home at any time.

    Ever since I was a kid, I always enjoyed three particular flavours of ice cream (sorry, can’t pick just one): coffee, hazelnut, and walnut. If possible, all three at once. :)

    Cheers!

    • maggie

    white chocolate macadamia!

    • Carmen Cano

    I love the classic chocolate ice cream!!! :-)

    Since I was a kid, my favorite flavor has always been mint chocolate chip.

    • Kathy

    Rocky Road is my long time favorite, but any seasonal fresh fruit sorbet is also an excellent choice.

    • Judy – Overland Park KS

    What a nice thing to do for your readers! Hard to choose, but I’d have to say lemon curd ice cream. I bought it at Glace, Christopher Elbow’s ice cream shop in the Kansas City area, to go with a homemade blueberry pie. MMMmmmmmmmm

    • Ann

    vanilla bean

    • elaine

    Pistachio . . . memories are attached to this . . . late 950s . . . New England . . . going to the actual dairy where the actual milk from actual cows was made into actual, real ice cream. No soft serve for us.

    Pistachio was not only green, but exotic and a nut we only got as a treat from my food eclectic uncle.

    • Kate

    Mint chocolate chip!

    • Jess

    My favorite flavor is probably toasted sesame…
