If you love ice cream, you really should invest in the best ice cream maker you can. Delicious frozen treats (not just ice cream) have become very easy to make and are very economical. Large tubs of premium ice cream from the grocery store is expensive enough, but if everyone one in your family wants a different flavor it can really add up. Once you factor in the cost of taking the family out for an after dinner treat once in a while, an ice cream maker suddenly seems like an essential piece of kitchen equipment.
One of the first things to decide is if you want a unit with a built in freezing unit or one that has a canister that you keep in the freezer. They both work well. It's simply a matter of your own convenience. Do you want to make many different batches of ice cream at a time? Then you should consider the self-freezing compressor. If you like one flavor at a time, the canister units would work just fine.
All of these home units makes relatively small batches. This is great because this gives you a wide variety of flavors to try. Since the units make the frozen treats in just about an hour, it's really not a problem to make fresh ice cream every day. Also, you can add healthy ingredients like fresh berries and other fruit and even make low sugar ice cream if you are trying to watch calories.
Today the best ice cream makers come with easy to use ingredient spouts, removable pieces for easy cleaning and delicious recipe books that help you to get started.
Don't limit your dessert making to just ice cream, however, All of these units can turn out fruit ices, frozen drinks, some can even do gelato and pudding! You just drop in the ingredients, flip a switch and walk away. By the time you're done cooking and eating dinner, the wonderful frozen treat is ready to go.
There are many recipes and mixes you can try, but remember the best flavor generally comes from the freshest ingredients.
Here's an easy chocolate, chocolate cookie ice cream recipe to get you started:
