Tips for Great Results
The freeze bowl must be completely frozen to make ice cream or other frozen desserts.
For best results, store the freeze bowl in the back of your freezer where the temperature is coldest for at least 15 hours. Adjusting your freezer to its coldest setting will help the freeze bowl make firmer ice cream faster.
Storing the freeze bowl in the freezer at all times allows you the flexibility to make your favori
For recipes that need to be pre-cooked, allow the mixture to cool completely in the refrigerator.
All batter recipes need to be completely chilled in the refrigerator before making ice cream.
Most ice cream recipes call for a combination of cream, milk, eggs, and sugar. The type of cream you choose will determine how rich in flavor and how creamy the texture of the finished result. The higher percentage of fat in the cream, the richer and creamier your ice cream will be. Any combination can be used, as long as the liquid measurement stays the same. Lighter ice creams can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating cream. Skim milk will work, but there will be a noticeable difference in texture.

- Whipping Cream 30%
- Light Cream 18%
- Half and Half 10%

I gifted one of these nifty gadgets to my nephew and snagged one for myself, and let's just say it's been a game-changer. The setup? A breeze. The cleanup? Even breezier. Just give it a quick rinse right after use to dodge any dreaded stains or gooey messes.
As for the build, it's KitchenAid—we're talking the kind of sturdy construction that promises many, many batches of your favorite frozen treats. Whether you're a sorbet sophisticate or an ice cream innovator, this attachment is like your culinary wand for all things chilly and delicious.

¿Quién diría que hacer un lote de helado casero podría ser tan simple como enganchar un accesorio a tu KitchenAid? Yo ciertamente no lo sabía—hasta ahora, claro está.
Le regalé uno de estos prácticos artilugios a mi sobrino y me hice con otro para mí, y digamos que ha sido un cambio radical. ¿La instalación? Un paseo. ¿La limpieza? Incluso más fácil. Solo asegúrate de enjuagarlo justo después de usarlo para evitar manchas temidas o restos pegajosos.
En cuanto a la construcción, es KitchenAid—estamos hablando de ese tipo de robustez que promete muchas, muchas tandas de tus delicias congeladas favoritas. Ya seas un sofisticado aficionado al sorbete o un innovador del helado, este accesorio es como tu varita culinaria para todo lo que sea frío y delicioso.
I did a lot of research before I actually bought it and was pretty clear on several points:
- the bowl has to be solidly frozen in the freezer, preferably for at least 24 hours
- the ice cream mixture has to be well-refrigerated, at least 2-8 hours
- to keep things as cold as possible, quickly assemble the bowl and dasher attachment, turn on the mixer, and start pouring the refrigerated mixture into the machine
After 20-30 minutes you'll have ice cream with a soft-serve consistency. It can be pretty messy getting everything off the the dasher and out of the bowl. It melts really quickly, but it's pretty tasty! It gets even better after it's cured, so the sooner you can get it into the freezer after churning the better.
We made "Jerry's Chocolate" from the B&J Ice Cream Book. We left the bowl in the freezer for over 24 hours. We mixed up the custard and refrigerated it overnight. The next afternoon we did the churning, then we each had a small bowl and put the rest in the freezer. The results were...well, first let me finish!
There's a video on YouTube [...] that shows how to use the Ice Cream Maker attachment. It's the best one I found and it's a pretty accurate depiction of how everything should be done, but the best part is at the end. In this video the cook scoops the soft-serve ice cream out of the bowl and puts it into a small, flat pan. She covered it with aluminum foil and put it into the freezer. Then she takes it out of the freezer and using an ice-cream scoop, scrapes the scoop along the length of the pan, producing perfect ice cream curls! After some research, I determined that she is probably using a "third size" stainless steel steam pan like this: Excellante Third Size 2-1/2-Inch Deep 24 Gauge Anti Jam Pans .
I found that the dimensions were somewhat similar to a standard loaf pan; a little shallower, longer and wider, but pretty close so I used our non-stick bread loaf pan, putting down a layer of pastic wrap right on the surface of the ice cream to prevent icing and then covered the pan with aluminum foil. This worked great!
Oh, and the results were FANTASTIC! The chocolate ice cream was creamy and smooth, with a deep chocolate taste. The consistency was just like ice cream should be, not icy, but hard enough to "chew" yet soft enough that it will quickly melt in your mouth.
This was our first attempt and it was a resounding success! We're looking forward to many more batches of yummy, creamy, tasty ice cream! And some gelato. And some sorbet.
I can say that we've put it to the test. We've tried making ice cream nearly every weekend since we got this. As long as instructions were followed, it went perfectly. Keep in mind that if you add warm ingredients to cold ice cream it will send heat into the ice cream and making it begin to melt. Everything going into the mixture needs to be frozen or cooled for a few hours in the fridge.
I also hand clean it only after it's completely defrosted (I can hear the liquid inside sloshing around). Obviously putting hot water to clean into a partially cold mixer will cause fractures to happen in the seal (expanding and contracting). So I simply let it thaw out, and don't put it back in the freezer until it's totally dry. Although we've had a pan under it in the freezer (in case of blue liquid leaks) we've never had any issues with this. Nothing.
It is incredibly easy making ice cream with this, you just have to be smart about follow directions. Make sure ingredients are cold (example, if making cookies and creme, oreos have to go in the freezer beforehand) and you watch how long it's been going with a timer (too long and the machine makes the ice cream start to melt, sending heat radiating from the mixer), so just don't go longer than a half hour. Lastly take care of it when cleaning, don't add hot soapy water into a cold mixer, and you should have no issues with leaking.
Top reviews from other countries
For a novelty item, it stores nicely as we keep it in the freezer for anytime we want to make ice cream, doesn't take up additional counter space footprint when in use as our mixer is already there (just space in the freezer, which works for us because we don't have many things in the freezer to begin with), will work with any kitchen aid mixer, and makes a nice batch of ice cream within 15-20 minutes.
I feel like if we get bored of this, it could easily be given away to anyone who has a kitchen aid mixer or sold quite easily because it works with an existing piece of equipment that most people have, and could be seen as a value-added option for those who own a mixer rather than spending hundreds of more for a dedicated ice cream mixer.
Super easy to set up and use, cleaning is interesting because water freezes on it after making ice cream, but no problem if you let it sit for a half hour after.
Reviewed in Mexico on March 6, 2019
Update: Sept 2019. Sad to find that my bowl has begun to leak fluid. Not a lot (yet) but it takes longer to freeze the ice cream. I have loved using it, and calculate it has cost me about $21. per year of use. Considering ordering another, but Kitchen Aid really should deal with this flaw, as it is very wasteful of materials!
