Chef'n 5255870 Sweet Spot Ice Cream Maker, Includes Recipe Book, Blue Glow

As warm weather is approaching, I was looking for something to surprise my grandchildren with and ice cream is always nice on warm days, so I started looking for some options which I might be able to get which would allow for us to use with them helping us actually make the ice cream, and I stumbled across this item. I read some reviews, and watched the video, so I took the plunge and ordered it.Naturally, my wife and I decided we needed to try it out when it arrived, so we didn’t disappoint the grandkids if it didn’t work, so, reluctantly, after it arrived, it was cleaned, and placed in the freezer for a day. When it was ready to use, we prepared the ice cream mixture, and had some candy items we wanted to mix in, just to make sure that also worked okay in the process, and began.Our first attempt was a bit sloppy as we poured the entire amount onto the surface at once, rather than following the instructions and only pouring the remainder after the first round was completed, so the completion of the ice cream to longer than expected. However, the end result was great, and we had enough left over to put in the freezer after we each had a small bowl.The concept is very much like Cold Stone if you’ve ever been there - pour and scrape as the mixture freezes until you get the consistency you desire, and then mix in the extras. This works as advertised, and my wife and I decided to order some for presents to give away to others, which I believe is the highest recommendation I could make.

Bought this to make my yogurt snack a little more special. It does a great job and I now can enjoy frozen yogurt made at home 😊

Súper fácil de usar, incluye varias recetas y una vez que te sientes cómodo puedes experimentar y crear nuevos sabores. Súper recomendable. He tenido varias máquinas "tradicionales" de helado y prefiero usar el Sweet spot por mucho: es más rápido, fácil y cómodo de usar.

Keep this *level* on your freezer shelf. When you’re ready for an ice cream treat, take it out, pour your liquid ice cream mix to cover the plate, wait several seconds, then use the plastic tool to scrape the solidifying cream around until it’s all frozen. I like it soft serve style, but you can put your serving into the freezer for awhile to harden it if you prefer.I rinse the plate under warm tap water, while wiping with a sponge, dry with a dish towel and put it right back into freezer for next time.The easy recipe I use, I make ahead of time and store in fridge till I’m ready for a treat. In a ~3 cup glass bottle or jar, I put in these ingredients, and shake well before using:1.75 Cups Heavy Cream1.25 Cups Whole Milk.75 Cup Sugar1/8 tsp. Fine Sea Salt1 Tblsp. Vanilla*for chocolate, I just add ~1/4 cup powdered Nesquik**This recipe makes a lot of ice cream for just one or two people, so I have leftover mix for several different days.It’s an easy, no fuss treat, especially good for one or two servings. Making ice cream for a large crowd would be more of a make ahead thing, but for just me, it’s perfect.

En casa estamos muy contentos con este producto. Aunque ocupa espacio del congelador y no es un aparato especialmente barato, no tiene nada que ver con tener una heladera sobre la encimera durante todo el verano.Su uso es muy intuitivo y hacer helados es relativamente rápido, aunque si no tienes paciencia la textura se resentirá. Nosotros lo usamos para hacer helados y granizados con fruta natural y leche de coco normalmente, y es el utensilio perfecto para este fin. Todo un acierto, totalmente recomendable!
