I can't believe how simple it is to make your own ice cream. (No wonder the chopped people always make ice cream in the dessert round.)

I bought this as a Christmas present for my foodie husband and we have been enjoying the fruits of his labors for weeks. The recipe book that come with it is great. Husband and 5 year old have experimented with a few different flavors and a ton of different mix ins. All of them have been a success. 

I bought my dad an ice cream attachment for the kitchenaid stand mixer and we all agree that the stand alone unit is easier and faster. 

Pros: Great value, easy to use, easy to clean
