    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ice Cream Machine ever!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2024
    I bought this as a gift for my mom, who already makes delicious homemade ice cream and just could use a new one as back up. Instead, after using this ice cream machine, we will never let her use her other one again. This machine makes the creamiest ice cream we have ever tasted with her same recipe she’s always used. If you are familiar with storing extra homemade ice cream in the freezer, for us it has always frozen hard with ice crystals and is not as creamy as it was when freshly made. This machine makes the stored ice cream taste just as creamy as when it was fresh, no need to thaw out due to ice crystals. We bought the blue one, and I would highly recommend buying this machine. This machine is easy to use, clean, and the handle is a nice idea to make it easier to carry. I’m buying one for myself after how wonderful it has been for her!

    I bought this ice cream maker because my mom loves ice cream, can’t get enough of it. So being the wonderful daughter I am, I decided to try my hand at making it. That’s kind of why I’m her favorite, lol, I go the distance for my mama. So I couldn’t decide for a while if I should go with the old school or cutting edge machine. The decision came down to quantity. You can’t make nearly as much with the new ice free machines, unless you spend the big bucks. I also decided to start making her ice cream because we’ve completely changed how we eat. We now eat as clean as we can afford and organic. The ice creams you can buy now days are mostly “frozen desserts” and the crap they shovel into them has gotten ridiculous. So my mission was a healthier ice cream with no junk. What follows is the recipe I came up with, it’s pretty amazing (mom’s words), lol. You can make it with the ingredients you prefer, for me I went completely organic. I also tried a new vanilla and the difference was dramatic! It was unbelievably good and the vanilla flavor, just wow! It’s very similar to the vanilla Breyers uses in taste but a little better. It’s Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder, 1oz. You can order it with your ice cream machine right here on Amazon. The ice cream maker worked beautifully and I wouldn’t have changed a thing except maybe an on/off switch. You have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug to shut it down. A minor issue, if you can even call it that. Oh gosh I forgot about the cord there for a second. It’s super short so have a plug close or grab a small extension. The machine did go through an entire large bag of ice so, make sure you have a lot before you begin. I had to top the ice off twice during the process so just keep an eye on it. It took about 30 minutes to churn it in total. I made sure my ice cream was cooled for 2 hrs before I put it in the mixer. If you don’t want to wait you can put it in earlier, you’ll just go through way more ice. I also waited until the ice cream was pretty firm before I shut it down. Below is my very simple, much healthier ice cream recipe. It’s an absolutely beautiful French vanilla or custard as some might call it. I’m old fashioned and eggs just make ice cream that much richer and oh so delicious. Enjoy!
    7 egg yolks (organic, free range)
    1 cup honey (local)
    6 cups heavy whipping cream (organic grass fed)
    1 cup whole milk (organic)
    1 tsp Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder
    1/8 tsp sea salt

    Whisk egg yolks and honey in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a large pot mix together cream, milk, salt, and heat on medium heat until it’s roughly 155 degrees f, or until it starts to steam slightly. Take off the heat and temper your egg and honey mixture. Which is simply adding the cream mix to the egg mix very slowly, whisking the entire time. Then take the entire mixture and put it back into your large pot and cook until it reaches 175 degrees f. Do not go over 180 degrees.
    Take it off the heat and let cool for 30 min., then add your vanilla. Place plastic directly onto mixture so it doesn’t form a skin and cool for another 1 and 1/2 hrs. Then follow the directions for the ice cream maker. It’s that simple and it will be the best vanilla ice cream you have ever had, well, if not the best then top 3 at least, lol.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024
    I bought this for our favorite server at a place we eat everyday. It was a complete surprise to her! She made some chocolate ice cream for us and brought it in to work soon after. We keep asking her for more. My goodness! We eat a name brand ice cream a few times a week as our snack and I must tell you that this ice cream she made was superior to store brand. The flavor was exceptional--above the store brand, smoother and creamier. I think I might get one myself!

    This lightweight ice cream maker is a fantastic deal for the money! So much so that three family members now have purchased one! I was concerned about the durability because other than the canister it is plastic. It gets the job done sufficiently and easily serves up to eight people with a decent size serving. FYI, we are ice cream hogs so our servings are on the larger scale. It's the typical whirring noise without being too loud. We've experimented with our own recipes and have been very pleased with the outcome. Do put the canister in the freezer a few minutes before adding your ingredients as you prepare to churn. This seems to help the ice cream to freeze up better. A fun family activity too!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Electric ice cream machine
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2024
    I absolutely love this machine. It works like a charm. It reminds me of my childhood when my dad would make us ice cream, but now I don't have to sit there for 30 minutes turning the crank. You do have to occasionally add more ice and salt but this is to be expected with all machines of this type. My recommendation is to allow it to churn a little longer than stated as this will insure your ice cream is a firmer texture. All in all I highly recommend this machine if you enjoy homemade ice ream

    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use!!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2024
    I love my ice cream maker. It works like the old fashioned ones I've always used. I like having control over seeing the ice cream thicken up while it's churning. And how much ice and salt I use. It takes a little longer then some buy you get a lot more ice cream in this container then others I've tried. It turns off when it's done churning also. Easy to clean and the noise level doesn't bother me at all. I highly recommend this one over the more expensive ones. And much easier to use.. I or it in my kitchen sink and plug it in and just wait. Take about 45 minutes or so to make a full day to eat batch. If you get less then a full container of ice cream your either not allowing it enough time to finish the process or your not using enough heavy Whipping Cream. You should always fill it to 2 inches below the top.
