Home made ice cream is the best kind of treat but I can never make it come out right with salt and plastic bags. This little ice cream maker makes it super simple. Freeze the cup, add the ingredients and hit the button. It takes 15 or so minutes and then you can either freeze it further or eat it as more of a soft serve. You can cook ingredients like the egg and sugar before adding but you can also make some items without the extra step. 

The machine is fairly quiet and makes enough for at least 2 people to share. More if you just want a little. Over all great little machine, easy to use and clean and a lot of fun, especially with kids.
