This KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker attachment is one of my favorite stand mixer attachments. It is very simple to make ice cream on the spot with this! Just chill the bowl at least a day in advance and read the directions included in the box. I like to cheat and use a pre mixed powder that you just add liquid to; it works seamlessly with this attachment. You just put the frozen bowl on the base of the mixer, drop the dasher paddle in, slip the drive assembly piece on and lower the head to snap onto the dasher already in the bowl. Then turn the mixer on stir and leave it alone for about 30 minutes. Voila! Delicious soft serve ice cream! If you like your ice cream a little more solid you can put the ice cream in a container and freeze it a couple hours. This is truly a simple and convenient attachment to use, you just have to read the short set of directions in the manual, I promise!
