I've never owned any sort of Ice cream maker but having this was such an enjoyable experience . I decided to make Frozen Yogurt and it had a thick and creamy texture which was quite yummy . I loved how easy the machine was to put together and use and I'll be continuing to enjoy other types of treats with this awesome machine . I love that it's small enough so it doesn't take up much room in my freezer but still makes a good amount of ice cream .
