I'm not great with a recipe for ice cream yet, but it's no fault of this attachment.  The attachment is so cool, fits great on my mixer, is easy to use, clean and store.  You must freeze the bowl before using, which makes it super easy to actually make ice cream.  This has to be thawed to clean.  It's really easy to just dump the ingredients, mix and have a frozen treat once you can find or perfect your recipe.  I hope to have this attachment for years to come in hopes that my boys can help me when they get a little older.
