This ice cream maker works quickly and makes great homemade dreamy creamy perfection. Follow the instructions on freezing the bowl and you will be successful in realizing the best ice cream you and your family ever had (with the right recipe of course). For a quick and delicious recipe try the All Recipes Coconut Ice Cream. I used half cup of unsweetened coconut flakes instead of the cup and a half called and added 2 teaspoons vanilla as well as half cup chopped roasted almonds. Delicious.
