Ice Cream Makers

Churn Out Treats with Ice Cream Makers

Whether it's light and fluffy froyo, decadent ice cream, or refreshing sorbet, your new ice cream maker brings the ice cream parlor to your kitchen. Whether you want something cold on a hot day or just love sweet treats, being able to make your own ice cream puts you in control of your cravings. An ice cream maker allows you to completely customize your creations for flavors you've always wanted. You can use your favorite cookies, candies, or fruit to make flavors that you can't find in stores, often with less sugar and preservatives than store-bought options. With offerings from top brands like Kitchenaid or Cuisinart, your ice cream maker will be your favorite addition to your kitchen.

These ice cream makers are surprisingly easy to use. They speed up the process of making ice cream compared to no-churn recipes, for example. To get started, simply add your ingredients to the bowl and turn on the machine to begin churning. Your treat will be ready to eat in mere minutes. Modern ice cream makers use freezer bowls to eliminate the need for ice or salt while making your treats. The combination of freezing and slow, constant churning creates a creamy frozen treat without ice crystals or excess air.

Some makers even feature a compressor so you don't have to remove the freezer bowl and freeze it every time you use it. This means that you don't have to wait in between batches. A compressor option is ideal for those who plan on making ice cream often, whether as a passion project or just because it's your favorite dessert. Some machines also have smart settings so you can automatically select what kind of frozen treat you want, whether it's soft serve or ice cream. We also offer ice cream maker attachments to upgrade your beloved stand mixer. These frozen treat gadgets can make up to 1.5 or 2 quarts of ice cream so you'll have enough to share with friends and family or for leftovers of your favorite flavor.

If you love to entertain, an ice cream maker is a great investment. Ice cream makers churn out significant quantities of ice cream or gelato to serve multiple people at once. For grown-up gatherings, you can even add whiskey or other liqueurs to your recipe. Choose a larger model to make a big batch of classic vanilla and set up a fun sundae bar for your child's birthday party. Ice cream makers are great for people with dietary restrictions or food allergies because you know exactly what's in your recipe. That way, you can make delicious frozen treats for everyone. If you're lactose intolerant, sub the milk or cream in the recipe for your favorite dairy alternative. Be sure to buy a high-quality ice cream scoop for when it's time for dessert.

We know you're excited to start making your own frozen creations at home and it's important to choose the right model for your needs.
