At my home we love sweets and while there are a lot of foods we consume in moderation ice cream is not one of them. Since we like to experiment with flavors I purchased the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment a couple years ago and have used it consistently since then. Over the last couple months I have been putting it to good use experimenting with various flavors from various recipe sources.
Please note that this is an attachment, double walled bowl and plastic paddle for use with your KitchenAid Stand mixer. This makes it not only affordable but a space saving and handy way to enjoy tasty ice cream and sorbets made at home.
There is little that I can say against this ice-cream maker so in this post I will outline all the good benefits and give you a few tips to get the best consistency in your ice cream.
- You can easily make wonderful tasting ice-cream, sorbets and gelatos in 30 minutes of less.
- The consistency is great plus you will never want to eat store bought ice again.
Some tips to get the best out of your Ice Cream Maker.
- Use recipes other than the included recipes. I use the Ben and Jerry’s recipes or some great options on the Food Network website.
- Invest in a sturdy spatula for scooping out and a flexible bowl for pouring the chilled ice cream mixture into the freezer bowl. You really need some sort of spout for getting the mixture in the freezer bowl once assembled hence the need for a flexible bowl or a bowl with a spout.
- The freezer bowl must be well chilled for best results. I place it in the freezer for at least 24-48 hours before use. Do not bother with the 18 hours suggested in the manual.
- Ensure that the ice cream mix is also well chilled.
- Smaller batches freeze faster.
- For a harder consistency freeze the ice cream after it has set.
- Once you get started work quickly so that everything stays nice and cold.
