Hi, I recently bought an Ice Cream Maker and I made some basic chocolate ice cream, banana ice cream already which were quite nice. I found a recipe for tiramisu ice cream and tried that and it was amazing. Mixed up some melted rum balls (forgot them in the sun) and it was some of the best ice cream I ever had.

As a next step I tried making some variations of fruity ice cream with melons, strawberries and orange. But they all turned out really watery... Do you have some tips to achieve a good texture with watery fruits?

Fruits lend themselves better to sorbet.

But if you really want to do fruit ice cream, I'd recommend against using the custard/Philly method, which is already softer. Use a recipe that's only cream, milk, sugar. You'll want to remove as much liquid from the fruit first, and then combine the sugar with the fruit to make a syrup, since the sugar will trap remaining moisture.

Check the Cuisinart website, their recipes seem to just work.

I just tried quark and a little milk as a base mixed with syrup and small strawberry pieces yesterday. It was great! Will try to make my own syrup next to get a little more out of it (: Thanks for the tip!
