For optimised results the machine should be allowed to freeze by itself for 10 minutes we've found, with the removable bowl inserted, to bring the temperature into the high minus range, it can be as cold as -34°C before including the mixture and this definitely helps to make the ice cream quicker. Making ice cream at home is so simple, the range of flavours are limitless and the cost of the ice cream maker justified by the quality of ice cream you can make at home.

so you can get on with other tasks in your kitchen without being disturbed while your mixture is being frozen. This is an easy to use ice cream maker that requires you to freeze the bowl for eight hours prior to use, but there's only one bowl so you can only make one batch at a time. Yes, as there isn’t any need to prefreeze the bowl – simply pour in your ingredients and this automatic ice cream machine will do the rest. Once the mixture is in the machine it needs to know how long the mixing cycle should last, the longest cycle is 50 minutes and any under is allotted in incremental jumps of ten minutes.It’s a compact, clean-looking machine that’s available in either white or a pleasant baby blue colour. I will add more ice cream recipes to Liana’s Kitchen in time, but to get you started here is the banana ice cream recipe which is super easy to make. It is a machine that promises to make the experience of creating homemade ice cream as delightful as consuming it. We found it a bit noisy and the paddle gets stuck in the ice cream at the end of churning but it's not too bulky and it comes in three colours.

The machine comes with a few recipes to get you started, ranging from ice cream and sorbets to frozen desserts and yoghurts. We wouldn't recommend leaving the ice cream in the machine, by doing this, if the user isn't going to consume the ice cream straight away, it freezes to the sides of the removable bowl and is very difficult to remove. Removing it from the bowl was straightforward, except around the base and sides, where the ice cream was frozen harder. If you have a maker without a built in freezer try and always keep the ice cream bowl in the freezer so that it is always ready.

Usually, before this happens, the ice cream becomes too solid to mix if the cycle duration has been set near the highest amount of 50 minutes, so the machine will go into freeze mode. We liked the simplicity of the controls; a kitchen appliance novice would find this a breeze to use. Ice cream is something that can be enjoyed all year round, but it arguably tastes better when the sun’s shining.
