First of all, who doesn’t like ice cream? When I was a kid, we had an ice cream machine at home but its job was to collect dust and sit there in storage. It was a pretty terrible ice cream machine and the recipes that came with it were very “eggy” tasting. There was no internet back then to look up better recipes and nobody in my family seemed interested in perfecting the given recipe. So that’s the reason it was stored away to collect dust. I’ve always had a soft spot for soft serve ice cream and now I can have my own machine.
I never even bothered looking up whether a soft-serve machine was available but was pleasantly surprised that the Cuisinart ICE-45 Mix It In Soft Serve ice cream maker is available for purchase. As the name would suggest, the machine lets you make soft serve in the comfort of your own home. No more trips to McDonald’s!
The ICE-45 Mix It comes with three built-in condiment dispensers so you can have your favorite toppings such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, candies, nuts, and so on. It also comes with a cone holder and removable parts to allow for easy cleaning. The ice cream maker is capable of making 1.5 quarts of ice cream in only 20 minutes. And don’t worry, there is no need for any chemicals, salt, or ice to make the device do its thing.
When you pull the handle to dispense soft serve, the machine will also swirl the ice cream just like any other soft serve machines at the ice cream shops. And while it dispenses, it will also mix in your ingredients from the dispenser. The operation of the machine is very simple and all it takes is to simply pour in the ingredients and turn the dial. If you have kids, you better hope they don’t tell all of their friends about this machine.
The Cuisinart ICE-45 Mix It Soft Serve is available in either white or pink and can be purchased on Amazon for only $83! You know, Christmas is right around the corner and this would be a pretty nice gift. There is nothing wrong with eating ice cream in the winter!
