Cuisinart 1-pt Wonder Ice Cream Maker

My first ice cream maker. It's small, makes less than a pint. Which is great for testing a lot of different recipes and flavors. People need to know that your mix needs to be very cold, It's best to put it in the freezer for a half hour after an overnight in the fridge before churning. Also, I found that sticking the whole thing in the fridge while churning is helpful if you have a hot kitchen (extension cord). I've had no problem pouring my cold mix into the frozen tub and then sticking the top on quickly. Also, after 25 minutes, your ice cream won't be scoopable, more like a looser soft serve. It needs to go in the freezer for a couple hours first. It's a cheap item, don't expect a professional gelato machine! I've been very happy playing around with it.

I LOVE THIS THING! I work at a high school and I brought it in to make ice cream with my students. It is so easy to use, it makes the perfect amount of ice cream, you clean it the way you would clean any other bowl so it's super easy and the ice cream tastes amazing - no freezer burn! The size of the bowl itself is so awesome although it is a bit annoying to carry my stand mixer into work.

I have the 2 pint machine which is WONDERFUL ..This thing doesn't whip up ice cream. A WASTE of my MONEY. I wish I could get my money back.

Excellent value! I especially like that I cannot make more than one batch within 24 hours, so I'm never tempted with extra servings of ice cream being available. We're meat-based, low carb eaters, with limited dairy, so we don't use it more than 2 or 3 times/month. I just use heavy whipping cream, stevia, vanilla, lemon juice, salt and sometimes an egg. Sometimes a couple of chopped frozen cherries and a little 100% cocoa baking bar slivers are added for a cherry cordial treat. Delicious! It could be 4 small servings, but we usually just serve it in 2 big bowls. And sometimes make a low carb chocolate hard shell to drizzle over the top. Yum I do recommend this product to friends, but am only giving it 4 stars because sometimes the bottom freezes solid shortly after it begins churning, and when that happens the lid pops off and it's a horrible mess, and we end up with a dirty countertop and milkshakes instead of ice cream. It doesn't happen very often and I haven't yet isolated the variable that causes this.

This ice cream maker works great, makes ice cream in about 20 minutes but the portion is a bit small. If its for one person, then I think the portion would be just fine but you may have to make several batches if for more than one. I used this often when we first got it and it made really good tasting ice cream, much better than store bought, since I knew what the ingredients were and there were only a couple. As long as any toppings you want to add are broken into small pieces, they will mix in just fine. I keep my base in the freezer for a quick go to when I want something cold and refreshing.

The size is wanted I wanted: compact and doesn't use up a lot of counterspace However, the plastic 'stir' stick doesn't stay on, once I tried to lock the lid it would fall off. Had to return it.

We love this so much! Really cool product, its fun to experiment with flavors, easy to use, and doesn't take very long. It works great and isn't too loud

It’s decent for the price. It does take longer (20-25 mins) compared to the ninja creami (3-5 mins). I would recommend especially if you’re not trying too spend too much and want something compact; the ninja creami very chunky and takes up a lot of space. I got this for my boyfriend as a gift and he made a lot of protein ice cream with it. He likes it

The bowl definitely needs to be at least - 18 degrees to work. But when prepared properly, it does work. Pretty excited to try out different recipes. So far so good. Can't complain much for a $50 ice cream machine.

les instruction ne sont pas super clair, c'est préférable de mettre les ingrédients au congélateur au moins 1h avant de faire le mélange dans le bac à crème glacé, malgré cela, fait de super bonne crème glacé, yogourt ou sorbet, compact, super facile à laver, va au lave vaisselle. Donne juste assez pour 2 portions de crème glacée

Yes, have to freeze the bowl and chill the content. But truly nice airy ice cream in 15 minutes of churn. Slightly loud pulsating motor noise, even without paddle attached, but not any louder when churning ice cream. Smaller volume makes ice cream more precious and little chance to binge. Great for experimenting.

I bought this over the hand held one because it was the only one in stock at the time and I’m very disappointed about it. Not only did I prefreeze it like instructed for 24 hours and I even kept all my liquids cold. But it simply did not work. It never turned into ice cream it just sat there for 35 minutes just turning liquid and it never even froze. I thought I did something wrong and left it to freeze for 48 hours and it still didn’t work. I don’t know if mine is malfunctioned. I might just return it at this point.

Please note it takes 12-16 hrs for the bowl to freeze before each use! Lol I did not read that part was a bit sad to have to wait, but totally my fault :p I plan on purchasing a second bowl to accommodate my needs, but it works perfectly otherwise - ps Greek yogurt seems to freeze faster than traditional cream recipe
