As my daughter is lactose intolerant I started to make cashew based ice cream. Now, we only eat homemade and I think it tastes better than any store bought. I still try to improve, and was wondering if there are any homemade ice cream makers here?

Yes, I make ice cream at home as well. l For me a game changer was to add an emulsifier (I use lecithin) and some stabilizers (I use guar and xathan)

    Yes I want lecithin but it's very hard to find here in New Zealand. And, I bought granules once, but after a month or so they had gone bad and became a big clump. Do you use granules or powder? And guessing you use soy lecithin?

    I also use Guar + Xanthan. Makes a difference. Also I use Maltodextrin in low fat ice creams to increase smoothness, that really helps!
