Could you make chocolate icecream using cocoa/chocolate bars?

Just be careful if you're using a blender to add the berries slowly. We've burnt out 5 or 6 blenders doing this. I even got a nice one with a big beefy motor one time. It lasted a week. A food processor is probably the way to go if you can.

I've gone through a lot of blenders with this sort of thing. The Ninja food processor has been working great for me for about six months now. Quieter than a blender and takes those huge whole strawberries without cutting them up like a Cuisinart requires (it's got more blades.) Bought mine locally for $45. Seems to hold up a lot better than blenders for a similar price.

Seconded. I just tried this with our blender and got the dreaded hot plastic smell :-(. It would be good to be specific in the instructable that you need something with good amount of torque on the blades. A typical stand up blender doesn't seem to have enough umph.

are those first two pictures right? that really doesn't look like cream, sugar and frozen berries. . . . .

Looks real to me ... It's the vanilla soaked into the sugar on top of the cream on top of the berries.  Yum.  :)

They sure are. It's just a way close-up of the frozen berries covered in cream and sugar. I used a lot of vanilla too.

I just got a food processor, and I remembered this, so it was the first thing I tried. Real ice cream! Delicious ice cream.

If I gain 100 lbs on this stuff, I'm blaming you.
