Perfect Ice Cream
I bought this ice cream maker because my mom loves ice cream, canât get enough of it. So being the wonderful daughter I am, I decided to try my hand at making it. Thatâs kind of why Iâm her favorite, lol, I go the distance for my mama. So I couldnât decide for a while if I should go with the old school or cutting edge machine. The decision came down to quantity. You canât 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 weâve 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 âfrozen dessertsâ 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, itâs pretty amazing (momâs 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! Itâs very similar to the vanilla Breyers uses in taste but a little better. Itâs 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 wouldnât 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. Itâs 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 donât want to wait you can put it in earlier, youâll 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. Itâs an absolutely beautiful French vanilla or custard as some might call it. Iâm 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 Powder1/8 tsp sea saltWhisk 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 itâs 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 doesnât form a skin and cool for another 1 and 1/2 hrs. Then follow the directions for the ice cream maker. Itâs 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.

Best Ice Cream Machine ever!!!
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 sheâs 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. Iâm buying one for myself after how wonderful it has been for her!

Good product. It worked like a charm.
Good product. It was delivered quickly and as stated in ad. I have used it once and I am very happy with the results. It made the ice cream in a little less than 30 minutes and it did a good job of mixing it to the right consistency. I’m very happy with this purchase and the seller.

Makes great ice cream, not designed for heavy use
Freezer made very good ice cream while it worked, but after about six months of use the paddle started turning in unison with the canister. The ice cream therefore wouldn’t freeze properly because it wasn’t stirred and aerated. To be fair, I made a LOT of ice cream with it while it was working (2 or 3 batches per week). If you only make ice cream on holidays and special occasions, it might last years for you.Fortunately, the unit had a year warranty. Customer service was a bit slow, but they did eventually replace it. One of their requirements was that I cut off the power cord and send them a picture before processing my claim (presumably a fraud prevention procedure). After I cut off the cord, I figured I might as well open up the motor housing to see what the root cause of the problem was. If you’re interested, here’s what is shown in the attached photo:The motor turns the gear (1) which turns the can. The shaft (2) goes through the gear and is supposed to remain stationary because the other end (not shown) is the fitting where the stirring paddle is inserted when the freezer is in operation. The shaft fits into a socket (3) which is mounted to a bracket inside the motor housing. Shaft and socket are both molded plastic. With repeated use, friction rounded off the once-square corners of both pieces. Eventually, when the ice cream started to freeze and put a bit of resistance on the paddle, the shaft would slip in the socket. This allowed the paddle to turn with the can, causing the problem described in the first paragraph. It seems to me that molding the shaft and socket as a single piece would prevent this problem. (So would making them from metal, but that would probably increase costs). At least now I know how to fix it when the warranty replacement eventually fails too.

Nice buy
Cleaning is easy, doesn’t over heat, the ice cream tastes like it should. Good recipe and easily used

A delicious surprise
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!
