Hopefully $70, the current price in the link given, is within your budget. If not, you might be able to find one secondhand. As of right now, there are a few on ebay for $20-$30. Just make sure all 4 parts are included: base with working motor, bowl, white plastic paddle for churning, and clear plastic cover to hold the paddle in place against the rotating bowl.","subreddit_name":"veganrecipes","author":"CoughyAndTee"},{"body":"Yeah.. I know that ordinary ice cream essentially has to be stirred as it freezes (the machines are pretty cheap on [amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-ICE-21-Quart-Frozen-Yogurt-Ice/dp/B003KYSLMW) / ebay).. but I'm pretty sure that even then - without adding sugar \u0026amp; fat, it'll turn hard as a rock in the freezer, just as you say.\r\n\r\nI suspect that if it's possible to create a stable, scoopable frozen yogurt without relying on sugar \u0026amp; fat, you need some sort of trickery to stabilize it.. perhaps xanthian gum, erythritol, and some other compounds?","subreddit_name":"fitmeals","author":"unconscionable"},{"body":"Sounds like my brother-in-law.

I'm in the US. It's [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-ICE-21-Quart-Frozen-Yogurt-Ice/dp/B003KYSLMW/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2NCK9QPWCFW3X\u0026amp;keywords=cuisinart+ice+cream+maker\u0026amp;qid=1658696096\u0026amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C167\u0026amp;sr=8-3). I've given two as gifts and talked five people into buying one. Everyone loves theirs. You don't say in your question what \"appropriate\" means. Certainly your decision should be made by what you are trying to accomplish. Example: the Cuisinarts with the freezer bowl only allow you to make approximately one batch every 24 hours (from zero frozen bowl, it takes 48 hours to freeze it - when you make a batch and throw the bowl immediately into the freezer, it should be properly frozen in 24 hours).\r\n\r\nAs for freezing at the bottom of the bowl - that doesn't happen. You may end up with a layer of ice cream frozen *all over* the bowl, but just scrape it off and in with the rest of the finished ice cream. If you did mix-ins, the part stuck to the bowl will likely not include them. I often just scrape that part into a separate small container - it's not much - and just snack on it.","subreddit_name":"Cooking","author":"mintbrownie"},{"body":"Oh do I have a plan for you!

Less sugar in ice cream makes it much harder and a bit icier, but I pull it out 20 minutes before serving and it works great.\r\n\r\nI'm pretty basic. I semi-follow recipes and don't go too crazy - but that's mainly the diabetes talking - I can't have caramels and cookies and candies and that kind of stuff mixed in.
