One of the best parts of summer is that eating ice cream for 90 days straight is basically a green light. While there are plenty of fun flavors to indulge in at the grocery store, opening a pint of our favorite frozen dessert isn’t exactly the same as making your own. I know what you’re thinking: who has time to make ice cream? Well, that’s a controversial question when you’re ready for the DASH My Pint electric ice cream maker. No? Don’t worry. For just $24, you can purchase one of these babies at Amazon.
Dash has become the brand of choice for small appliances on the Internet. Most notably, people love the mini waffle maker, which comes in different shapes, just like a Valentine’s Day heart. Now that it’s summer, we’re focusing on its popular personal ice cream maker.
Just like the waffle maker, this ice cream maker is easy to use and takes only 30 minutes to make a serving of ice cream! It does take some planning – the ice cream container needs to sit in the freezer overnight, and the cream and other ingredients need to be well chilled before they can be churned. But once everything is ready, you simply pour a cup of the cream mixture into the freezer container, pop the top and press the power button. The gadget will then slowly mix the ingredients as it freezes – the idea is to keep the mixture moving so it doesn’t form ice crystals.
Not only can you enjoy homemade ice cream whenever you want, but you can also experiment with different flavors and different types of liquids – you can try almond milk, coconut milk, yogurt or rice milk for your personal dessert. But if you need guidance, the ice cream maker will include a recipe booklet to get you started on your ice cream adventure. Thousands of Amazon shoppers have already started dipping their scoops into the custom custard – and for several different reasons, it has earned 4,500 five-star reviews.
Diet Control
Many shoppers use it to mix their favorite ingredients. One customer says it’s “a pint of heaven,” but others use it because they can’t eat regular ice cream.
“I have irritable bowel syndrome and have questions about regular ice cream,” wrote one happy shopper. “At the grocery store, dairy-free ice cream is very expensive and doesn’t taste good. This little ice cream maker is my favorite kitchen appliance! I make a batch of ice cream every other day …… It’s fun to think of new ideas. No digestive issues at all and the ice cream has ingredients I can control!”
Save space
If you don’t have a lot of refrigerator or storage space, you don’t have to miss out on making your own frozen foods.
“Short on freezer space? Don’t want a 15-inch speaker taking up most of the space in your freezer?” One savvy shopper asked. “That’s why I bought this. This cup is about the size of a large mug. It makes about 10 ounces or 1 cup of great ice cream. It only took 8 minutes. I made a killer matcha and then put the frozen cup back in before dinner to make a triple strawberry …… Love this and space saver. If you prefer fluffy ice cream, it may not work. But for us, this was enough to make 4 servings of thick ice cream goodness.”
Easy to use
Some customers like that this is a foolproof gadget.
“You guys, I’m not a patient person,” wrote one eager diner. “I keep the bowl in the fridge half as long as directed, don’t cool the mixture at all, let it stir for about 12 minutes, and when most people say 20, it still gets thick enough to keep a spoon upright. (I also filled the bowl like a fool, so it got thicker as it went to the bottom.) I can only imagine how much better it would have been if I had actually followed the directions haha.
