I have had my eye on this attachment for a long time now so I finally decided to purchase this icecream maker.  I used the chocolate recipe included in the instructions and I ended up with chocolate soup. I separated my custard in two batches because I didn't know how much it would expand.  My first batch went in the freezer after 30 minutes and I tried to do the second batch but my bowl had defrosted to much and I had to empty out my now liquid custard and rechill both it and my bowl. After 24 hours I re attempted my icecream. Again I ended up with soft soft soft serve. I own a traditional old fashioned that requires salt and ice and I will go back to using that machine. At least my icecream is icecream not semi goopy sludge.  I can't even call what this kitchen aid ice maker makes as soft serve or icecream.  So disappointed since this was something I had wanted for such a long time.
