This KitchenAid Ice Cream maker attachment works so well.  I was a little hesitant at first, but it is amazing.  You freeze the bowl in the freezer for at least 16 hours – we did 24 and then mix up the ice cream batter, put the frozen bowl on your mixer, turn it to the first setting – mine says stir, and then pour in the ice cream mix. We then let it run for about 25 minutes to freeze our ice cream.  It was like soft serve, so we ate some right away, but also put some in the freezer for later.  Both ways tasted great.  I highly recommend this KitchenAid Ice Cream maker!
