I am lactose intolerant and was lookiong for an easy way to make my own ice cream. I use coconut and almond milk in place of dairy milk and coconut cream in place of cream. I really like how this ice cream maker has an open slot for add-ins. I bought the bundle that includes two cups. I can use one for company or one as a backup since they must be frozen for 24 hrs before use. Having an extra one for company allows me the option to make dairy ice cream for them while I can enjoy mine without. Thank you Dash!
