Making Icecream

I am about to buy an icecream machine. I wonder if anyone has a tried and successful icecream recipe they would like to suggest. I especially enjoy blueberries and almonds but open to any suggestions. Howe'ver, note please that I live in NZ and therefore specific products/brands are very likely unavailable here.
I would say the tastiest vegan ice cream I have made was from a cookbook called Nonna's Italian Kitchen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1570670552/qid=1142479019/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-1711627-3572940?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)
The chocolate cashew gelatto is amazing. :) good luck and happy ice creaming!
Adagio, there is a book called Vice Cream that has lots of 'ice cream' recipes. Most are based on cashews & maple syrup. I made the chocolate once. It was good, but I don't have an ice cream maker so I had to just freeze it. One thing though, the reicpe called for almond extract which I thought ruined the pure choco flavor I was hoping for. It made it a chocolate almond ice cream.
I would really appreciate if recipes were posted here. I won't be buying any icecream books just yet. Howe'ver, thanks to those who responded. Anyone else out there?
I don't have any ice cream recipes, since even the vegan options are generally high in fat (I'm pseudo-dieting right now), but the Cuisinart website has lots of good sorbet recipes here.
Didn't Robin post about making ice cream a couple weeks ago? I remember reading that she'd been experimenting with her ice cream machine... I'll see if I can find it in the archives a little later.
mmmm... ice cream!
Thanks Sharway, for the Cuisinart link. Lots of material there. I've copied the ones that appeal to me. Sound good.
Thanks also to MegMarie. I shall look back and locate it.
Cheers!
