Mini Ice Cream Maker for Homemade Ice Cream, Sorbet, Frozen Yogurt & Gelato - Fast & Easy Dessert Maker (Pink) | Perfect for Parties, Family Treats & Summer Fun

I bought this for my daughter because she loves ice cream and she also doesn’t like desserts that are too sweet. I wasn’t expecting much after reading some of the other reviews and seeing how many stars it had in its ratings. But after letting the bowl freeze 24 hours we gave it a shot and followed the recipe for the chocolate ice cream minus the cocoa and added a little bit more vanilla. Then we put the lid on and turned it on and after 15 minutes (it says 20-30 in the directions) my daughter got excited because she could see more progress than we thought there would be and so, being only 10, she got impatient and wanted to try it. It was the consistency of soft serve, and it tasted good. I want to add that after reading some of the reviews about the ice cream not freezing enough or getting thick enough, that I wrapped a kitchen towel around the bowl to insulate it to keep more of the cold in, which is probably why after only 15 minutes it was the desired consistency for my daughter. That’s just an idea. It’s great for one person and it did taste a lot better fresh than store bought. It’s instructions are easy to follow, however , like others have said, it doesn’t contain a recipe book or even ideas within the packaging or in the instruction book so that’s unfortunate because how is anyone to know exactly what to use to make it out of besides milk and sugar and how much since it’s only a pint or less size. I took screenshots off the page where thankfully there are several recipes listed, at least enough to give you an idea of the ingredients and how much, etc. I’d say that’s really the only downfall is not having the recipe to follow contained with the product, other than that, this is a really cute little thing that seems to work well and is very easy to operate.
