Zoku Ice Cream Maker for thinKitchen:, Compact Make and Serve Bowl with Stainless Steel Freezer Core Creates Soft Serve, Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream and More in Minutes, BPA-Free, Red

It took a couple tries, but this little device really works to make you a quick and relatively easy home made ice cream. I'm on a low carb diet, so I had to modify the chocolate recipe, but it turned out great in the soft ice cream mode, and it tasted great!!!

Si quiere hacer un poco de helado o nieve esta maquinita es perfecto. Se puede usar cualquier liquido y en 10 minutos, ya esta! He hecho nieves con leche de soya, C light y limonada y todo perfecto! Despues de usarlo si lo meta otra vez en la congeladora esta listo para usar otra vez en una hora!!

Wird im Sommer nahezu jeden Tag genutzt! Einfach etwas Natur- oder Fruchtjoghurt rein und mit dem Löffel ein paar mal das Eis von den Seiten abkratzen und unterheben. Ergebnis ist - je nach Fettgehalt des Joghurts und je nachdem wie lange gewartet wird - eine Portion dichtes und cremiges Eis. Ich besitze den Ice Cream Maker (und auch den Slush Maker) seit etwa 3 Jahren und bin nach wie vor sehr zufrieden. Das Produkt fühlt sich wertig an, ist gut zu reinigen (nachdem es nicht mehr ganz so kalt ist - sonst friert das Spülwasser) und funktioniert einfach. Ist sicherlich ein nettes Geschenk für Kinder oder grundsätzlich für jeden, der spontan und in kleinen Mengen nach eigenen Wünschen Eis zubereiten will.

Quando è arrivato pensavo di aver preso il solito 'pacco' invece si è rivelato una bella sorpresa. Si può trasformare del semplice yogurt in un fantastico gelato!!! Consiglio vivamente

I got this for my grandchildren, five and three years old, but they're too young to really stick with it and to understand that you have to keep scraping the sides and bottom. No problem because I can have a nice soft serve in just a matter of minutes and if I keep adding a little of my ice cream mix to the bowl I get enough for them and me as they don't generally eat a lot of sweets so a little is all they really want. I find the mixture really starts hardening up on the sides as soon as you pour it in. I pour in about a quarter cup and immediately start scraping the sides and bottom with a small stainless steel children's spoon and not with the plastic spoon thing that came with it as overall we don’t use plastic items. The spoon hasn’t scratched the surface and works great. Once the ice cream starts to thicken I then add more mixture and go at the sides and bottom again and it all combines and helps the new mixture to freeze up fast. I do this about two to four more times as I usually get a nice soft serve to dish up to the kids right away. Right away is less than ten minutes. I'd read that this won't work with different sweeteners but it works great for me with Pyrue sweetener which is an organic blend of erythritol and stevia and it works with monk fruit powder. I haven't tried sugar as I don't buy sugar. I usually have just plain vanilla ice cream but I've added cocoa for really good chocolate ice cream and cherries for cherry ice cream. It's easy to make up a mixture and to add anything you want once it starts getting a little hard. I haven’t tried a sorbet yet or frozen yogurt. I liked this enough to buy another one even though the kids aren't really into it as young as they are. It's nice to have one in the freezer ready to go while the other one dries. It's also nice to have a stainless steel method to make your homemade ice cream that can match up to many store-bought brands. A little organic cream, organic milk, organic sweetener, a dash of Himalayan salt and a little bit of scraping and mixing and I'm a happy organic grandmother.
