I have been experimenting with this machine for the past month and am honestly so impressed. The ice cream is every bit as good as the traditional ice cream van Mr Whippy style, and the mix is very easy and cost effective to put together. The sorbet recipes in the booklets are also a great foundation for. more experimental flavours. I have piped some ice cream into a reusable tub as we made a little too much and it was still great a day or two later. The sprinkles and sauce dish are the highlight for the kids, it turns it into a really fun experience for the whole family and I can't wait for the summer!
