Need a suggestion for an ice cream maker

White Mountain.

We have the Cuisinart as well. Works well enough. Can make some great mint chocolate chip ice cream steaping in crushed mint.

I’ve never ventured into homemade ice cream before but it has been requested so here I am.

If it's the wife or a kid or 2, check out a Donvier. Has a liner/canister you put in the freezer so can have a couple or 3 of them frozen ready to go always.

I use the blender with milk, sugar, teaspoon of corn starch to keep ice crystals tiny, and a flavoring like vanilla and some fresh picked mint, chocolate chips, cocoa powder... whatever I feel like. (ice milk, not really cream, but substitute away, the corn starch also helps give a creamy mouth feel)

Blend, pour into the canister, spin the handle using index finger for about 10 minutes and start eating.

Has a tupperware kinda lid for the canister too so just remove canister from the cuplike holder and pop into freezer any leftovers.

I love ice cream, and have 2 ice cream makers - a Cuisinart countertop one, and the old school outside one that needs ice and rock salt. Hamilton Beach I think is the brand of the latter.

They both make fine ice cream, the Cuisinart is a lot quicker and easier. I use it way more than the other, though it only make 1.5 quarts. So if I need more, I use the other one.
