My favourite ice cream maker for gelato, sorbet and smoothies

Summers in Australia are hot hot hot and it's a dry heat. Sorbet, ice cream and gelato are faves during the sweltering months and it's easy with an ice cream maker. Especially in February after heading back to work and trying to fit in the beach time and summer activities. For the people in the northern hemisphere, it's a different time of year but we all love a good gelato. 

My fave is the Ninja CREAMi Ice cream maker, check it out. It has other functions like for frozen yoghurt and milkshakes. I use the smoothie option, yummy. A good combo here is matcha powder, some plain ice cream and a little cream - omg. 

One of my fave recipes is coconut milk and honey. I put 5 egg yolks in it and a little cream to richer it up. 
In summer I sometimes throw in mango too. This machine is so strong I just chuck in all of the fruit and ingredients, freeze it (or not) and mix it up. For a smooth gelato texture, freeze and mix a few times to get the icicles out.
