Since summer is knocking on our doorsteps this is the perfect time to post about the Cuisinart ice cream maker I recently purchased (the Cuisinart ICE-30BC).
I’ve recently been trying out the ketogenic diet after hearing about it on one of the podcasts I listen to and the main principle of the diet is you’re not supposed to consume any sugar or any carbs but you’re supposed to have lots of fat. Avocados are one great way of introducing a lot of fat into your diet but I personally don’t like the way they taste. So I was looking for a simple keto recipe that involved avocados and I found one for an avocado chocolate chunk ice cream that sounded delicious. I had honestly been looking for an excuse to buy an ice cream maker for a while so as soon as I found the recipe I decided to get one.
I kinda already knew what I wanted a Cuisinart ice cream maker since I’m fond of the brand and I knew I had seen them in Kuwait. So I did my research and the only places that carried the ice cream maker were Lakeland, Williams-Sonoma and Tavola (the Cuisinart dealer). Williams-Sonoma only had the dual ice cream maker which I wasn’t interested in since it was too big, Lakeland had the model I wanted but they were selling it for KD42 while Tavola were selling the exact same one for KD32.350. So I ended up picking it up from Tavola and since I was already in Shuwaikh, I decided to pass by Williams-Sonoma to pick up the best ice cream scoop you can buy, the Zeroll 1020.
The way the ice cream maker works is very simple. There are two main parts, the bowl and the main unit. You take the bowl and stick it in the freezer for 12+ hours and only take it out when you want to make ice cream. When your mixture is ready and the bowl frozen, you take the bowl from the freezer and place it in the main unit. You then pour your mixed ingredients into the bowl and let the ice cream maker churn your mixture for around 20 minutes until it turns into ice cream. Thats all there is to it.
I have to say, my avocado chocolate chunk ice cream has been turning out really delicious. And because I am buying the ingredients, I can control how healthy my ice cream is and so I’m having it guilt free. At KD32 this really is a no brainer impulse buy. So if you feel like making your own ice cream this summer, get this. Here is the map to Tavola [Google Maps] and you could call them on 24825761.

I’ve changed a few things in it though.
Also note that this is a HIGH fat, no sugar very low carbs recipe. So it works great for a ketogenic diet but might not work well for other kinds of diets.
could you tell us how the diet is working out for you and share the podcast. It would be great to learn how things are going
I’m liking it since I get to eat lots of fatty food and I’ve been losing a lot of body fat as well. But then again you’re bound to lose weight if you stop sugars and all carbs anyway. Here is the link to the podcast https://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/mark-sisson

Mark,
Tavola has an online store which also delivers.
https://www.tavolashop.com/kw/
i think the online store is based in the UAE and they ship items from there. More importantly though they don’t have the ice cream maker I posted about listed on the website but when you call them in Kuwait they actually do have it available. Thats why I didn’t post the link to the website.
Why do we have to put the bowl in freezer for 12 hours, aren’t there any ice cream makers which can make instant ice creams by themselves?
yeah there are options available in which you don’t need to put the bowl in the freezer but those options are much more expensive and larger. Here is one, costs KD152 https://www.tavolashop.com/kw/nemox-ice-cream-and-gelato-maker.html
Does this company also make soft-serve ice cream machines?
