Nostalgia Electric Ice Cream Maker - Old Fashioned Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine Makes Frozen Yogurt or Gelato in Minutes - Fun Kitchen Appliance - Vintage Wooden Style - Light Wood - 4 Quart

We bought this ice cream maker several months ago…Used it for the first time over the July 4th holiday…Our ice cream came out pretty good… I followed the directions on making old fashioned vanilla ice cream that came in the machine packaging…I will change up a few things next batch…but the taste is really nice..not as creamy as I would have liked… That said everyone really liked it…The machine works great..love it and we love the nostalgic look 🇺🇸👍🏻

I bought this for my husband for father's day so he could make homemade ice cream with our kids like we did with our families when we were little. I chose this one because it just looked so nostalgic (hence the name, ha). It was extremely easy to use, and we actually bought one of the nostalgia ice cream packets that we purchased from the grocery store. The directions in the owners manual were great and easy to follow. This made our first time making ice cream super easy. The ice cream came out great! It was a little soft, but I don't think that's the machine, but the ice to salt ratio. The owners manual also comes with several recipes that we can't wait to try!

We got this on a whim to have some summer fun with our kids. It was a blast! Instructions were very straightforward and easy, we followed them to a T and ice cream was done in about 40 minutes! We tried a vanilla bean recipe on Pinterest which was excellent. The texture came out perfect, and we got about three quarts. We put it in some quart size ice cream containers specifically for ice cream that we bought on Amazon, and in one I even added a few drops of coconut extract to make it coconut flavored! Anyways everyone enjoyed our first time making it and the ice cream itself so much. We can't wait to use it again!

Worked perfect. It's bigger than I imagined. Makes a lot of ice cream.

We love this ice cream maker. It freezes quickly, is easy to clean, and works as designed. We have made multiple batches of ice cream and it is as quick as going out for soft serve!

Bought for my sister for her birthday! She loves it. Made her grape icecream! Just know the screen doesn't turn. I was alarmed at first but after realizing the canister turning is making the icecream 😆. Works well just be careful and don't break any of the ends/tips.

I bought this ice cream maker because my mom loves ice cream, can’t get enough of it. So being the wonderful daughter I am, I decided to try my hand at making it. That’s kind of why I’m her favorite, lol, I go the distance for my mama. So I couldn’t decide for a while if I should go with the old school or cutting edge machine. The decision came down to quantity. You can’t make nearly as much with the new ice free machines, unless you spend the big bucks. I also decided to start making her ice cream because we’ve completely changed how we eat. We now eat as clean as we can afford and organic. The ice creams you can buy now days are mostly “frozen desserts” and the crap they shovel into them has gotten ridiculous. So my mission was a healthier ice cream with no junk. What follows is the recipe I came up with, it’s pretty amazing (mom’s words), lol. You can make it with the ingredients you prefer, for me I went completely organic. I also tried a new vanilla and the difference was dramatic! It was unbelievably good and the vanilla flavor, just wow! It’s very similar to the vanilla Breyers uses in taste but a little better. It’s Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder, 1oz. You can order it with your ice cream machine right here on Amazon. The ice cream maker worked beautifully and I wouldn’t have changed a thing except maybe an on/off switch. You have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug to shut it down. A minor issue, if you can even call it that. Oh gosh I forgot about the cord there for a second. It’s super short so have a plug close or grab a small extension. The machine did go through an entire large bag of ice so, make sure you have a lot before you begin. I had to top the ice off twice during the process so just keep an eye on it. It took about 30 minutes to churn it in total. I made sure my ice cream was cooled for 2 hrs before I put it in the mixer. If you don’t want to wait you can put it in earlier, you’ll just go through way more ice. I also waited until the ice cream was pretty firm before I shut it down. Below is my very simple, much healthier ice cream recipe. It’s an absolutely beautiful French vanilla or custard as some might call it. I’m old fashioned and eggs just make ice cream that much richer and oh so delicious. Enjoy!7 egg yolks (organic, free range)1 cup honey (local)6 cups heavy whipping cream (organic grass fed)1 cup whole milk (organic)1 tsp Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder1/8 tsp sea saltWhisk egg yolks and honey in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a large pot mix together cream, milk, salt, and heat on medium heat until it’s roughly 155 degrees f, or until it starts to steam slightly. Take off the heat and temper your egg and honey mixture. Which is simply adding the cream mix to the egg mix very slowly, whisking the entire time. Then take the entire mixture and put it back into your large pot and cook until it reaches 175 degrees f. Do not go over 180 degrees.Take it off the heat and let cool for 30 min., then add your vanilla. Place plastic directly onto mixture so it doesn’t form a skin and cool for another 1 and 1/2 hrs. Then follow the directions for the ice cream maker. It’s that simple and it will be the best vanilla ice cream you have ever had, well, if not the best then top 3 at least, lol.

Have this as a gift! Friend said she loves it! She shares it with many of us!
