I love this ice cream maker bowl and it really works. I made pumpkin ice cream with a purée, followed the instructions and OMG it was delicious. The attachment itself is the size of a bowl and the interior walls need to be frozen to work, so it has to live in the freezer for while before using it. The only reason I took off a star is because it takes up so much room in my already packed freezer. With that said, you could leave it out ont he counter, as the textured ridges on the exterior really make it look nice. I have hardly any countertop space so that doesn’t work for me, but someone that doesn’t live in a tiny apartment could make it work. Either way, this thing is great and I’ll be making dulce de lèche ice cream next!!
