I had the opportunity to utilize the KitchenAid® Ice Cream Maker Attachment with my compatible unit.  As a family who eats ice cream weekly, I thought it would be fun to make our own.  I love the bowl for this attachment, as it feels sturdy and freezes nicely.  However, the actual attachment for churning feels flimsy and seemed to have difficulty once our ice cream grew thicker in consistency.  With the brand power, I expected a the attachment to be constructed of metal or something more sturdy. We did product vanilla and mint ice cream successfully, and it was delicious and a good consistency.  However, I would have liked to feel confident in my mixers ability,  and did not.
