We made ice cream with this. It is a bit time consuming to make and some of the recipes seem a bit difficult. It's important to freeze the mixing bowl first. Which It's recommended 8+ hours. It's also recommended to chill your ice cream mixture before adding it to the machine. Then you're to mix it for 30 minutes or more. Once that's done you have a soft serve type of ice cream so I recommended putting it in the freezer once it's mixed if you like a harder ice cream. We made cookies and cream ice cream. The kids loved it. If you used oreo cookies like I did I recommended scraping the cream off as it made the cookie clump together in my food processor.
