I bought this on a whim. My favourite food is ice cream. We go through so much during the summer that it’s insane. So we decided to try this out and it is the best ice cream we have ever had. My 4 yo loves to make ice cream with me. It is extremely easy to use. Our favourite is the base using the cream cheese and then we add mix ins. To make it extra smooth, we mix it twice and then add the mix ins and mix that twice to make sure it is mixed thoroughly.
