GreenLife1.5QT Electric Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt and Sorbet Maker with Mixing Paddle, Dishwasher Safe Parts, Easy one Switch, BPA-Free, Turquoise

This works to make frozen custard which is my favorite and it is so hard to find on the West coast. So we got this to make frozen custard. I have not yet tried it for sorbet or frozen yogurt or even for regular ice cream, but it does work for custard. Something’s to keep in mind:1) the custard should be prepared 24 hours in advances and cooled2) the bowl should be in the bottom of a deep chest freezer, or the coldest part of a regular one for 24 hours or more. This is really important. We used the bowl once after it had been towards the top of the deep chest freezer and it just didn’t work. But each time it has been towards the bottom it worked.3) the machine is only suppose to churn for 30 min, for me it takes the entire 30 min and still will need more freezing time (1-2 hours) I put it in Tupperware and put it in the freezer.For custard I use 6 egg yolks, 1 cup of milk, 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, 4tbsp corn syrup, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cocoa powder(for chocolate) or substitute with 1/4 cup vanilla sugar for vanilla. I warn they mixture(not boil) until it coats the back of a spoon. Than add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and stir. I refrigerate this mixture for 24 hours and then pour into the ice cream maker. My pictures above are of a dark chocolate custard and the right is a regular chocolate custard.When it is done churning I always have the sides and bottom with much more stuff texture than the middle. So I freeze the middle and we “lick” the bowl.My kids really enjoy making this ice cream together. They like the flavors and love watching it mix. It is very easy to take apart, clean and put back together.I talked to the customer service of the manufacturer(Jan 2023) they said if I call back in a month they might be able to sell an extra bowl which would be super nice so that I could make two different flavors back to back. They said they are aware that there is a need for the sale of extra bowls and they are working on it. Hopefully they sell that soon.Enjoy and I hope this review helps.

This ice cream maker is complete garbage and does not work. The ice cream freezes to the sides immediately and the spinner can not move. I tried it several times and got the same results. I had thrown out the box(big mistake) and could not return it. Also, I contacted customer support and they never returned my call. What a shame because my 10 year old son saved up his money to but this for me and his Dad's 20 year wedding anniversary and he was so excited for me to have homemade ice cream because I cant have store bought ice cream due to Crohn's disease. I ended up trashing this stupid appliance because it just does not work. I gave it 1 star only because I had to, in my opinion it doesn't even deserve that.

I haven’t used it yet, the packaging was good! Look sturdy, med size

Gave to my 8 year old granddaughter and she and her dad made ice cream she used for her birthday party. Works well and easy to use

Don’t buy this if you want to just spontaneously make homemade ice cream. You have to freeze the container you make it in before hand. The first time we tried to use it we couldn’t get the paddle to turn because apparently the container was frozen too hard and wouldn’t give. Had I known that you have to freeze the container prior I would not have purchased it. I’m still trying to get it dialed in.
