I love the idea of this little machine. I store the freezing section in my freezer at all times so I can make an ice treat whenever the urge arises. It makes enough for two people in a portion size we SHOULD eat (probably a lot less than what we WANT TO – or USUALLY – eat). So if portion control is important to you, this is a good thing. Otherwise you might be disappointed. The first time I used it, I followed all recommendations in the instructions as well as those given by reviewers, and my ice cream turned out perfectly. However, not so always after that. I found that temp in the room will affect the freezing ability, as well as the recipe you are using AND, most importantly, where in the defrost cycle was your freezer when you took this out and used it? Or how often had you been going into your freezer before you used it? So the bottom line for me is to keep it in the back of the freezer; don’t use it except when the freezer has sat unopened for several hours; don’t use it is you have heard the defrost cycle going; wrap a towel around it for additional insulation as it’s churning; and be satisfied with less than perfection every time. It will in most cases do enough freezing that the ice cream will still be icy and delicious. While you can and should put the churned ice cream in the freezer to harden up after churning, I find that it quickly goes from just perfect to too hard, so plan to check it regularly and eat it at just the right moment.

First, expect soft serve like so many other reviews. 2nd don’t over fill.My complaints is two folds and why I would say 3/4 stars.1) Do not leave it alone!!! It will rattle, fall and make a mess once the cream starts to harden. I put the ice cream maker into a pot, so everything is contained in case of overflow and from falling off the counter. However the motor/cover itself may still work it’s way out because there is no locking mechanism.2) The motor/cover isn’t easy to wash. Cream can get into deep holes or where the paddle is connected.Otherwise this makes for a great single serve ice cream!

I highly recommend this little Dash ice cream maker. I have been making ice cream for years. First, I had the old-fashioned kind of ice cream maker, where you had to add salt to the ice. Then I had the kind where you froze the metal inner part, and cranked it by hand. Then I got a Cuisinart electric ice cream maker, and it makes a quart or so, effortlessly. Now, it’s just my husband and me, we are retired, and we are cutting back on our sweets. We can’t eat a quart of ice cream by ourselves anymore! This Dash ice cream maker is perfect! It is like the kind where you freeze the metal inner part, but it is electric, so you don’t have to do any cranking. So, wash and dry everything. Put the inner part of the Dash into the freezer (the plastic cup with the handle comes off, and doesn’t need to be in the freezer); freeze it 12 to 24 hours right at zero degrees. Then make your ice cream mixture. I like real ice cream, with egg yolks and heavy cream, but you can make whatever flavor you particularly crave. Here is my coffee ice cream recipe:Coffee Ice Cream:1 egg yolk, whisk it in a bowlAdd: ¼ cup sugar, whisk it againAdd: ½ cup heavy cream from refrigerator, whisk it again.Add: ¾ tsp. instant coffee (espresso), and whisk it (I use the espresso coffee that comes in 1 tsp. packets, it’s a yellow and red small box)In 1 quart pan: put ½ cup heavy cream, heat until boiling, whisking continually. As soon as it bubbles, take it off the heat, and whisk it gradually into the egg mixture in your bowl.Put the whole thing back into the pan, and heat until boiling, whisking continually. As soon as it bubbles, take it off the heat, whisking. I use setting 8.5 on my electric stove, and it only takes a couple of minutes to come to bubbles. As soon as you see bubbles around the edges, take it off the heat.Pour into a container, you should have about one cup.Add: ¼ tsp. organic vanilla extractStir it occasionally for about 40 minutes while it cools. Then pour it into a quart Ziploc bag, seal, and put it into the freezer for 1 hour. You can churn it then, or you can put in the refrigerator overnight.Put into the cold Dash Ice Cream Maker, lower the beater while it is running, and churn for about 18 minutes. Can serve right away as “soft serve,” but it’s best when a little firmer. For firmer ice cream, put into a container and freeze for 3 hours. There is no need to churn more than 20 minutes, freeze it for harder consistancy. Don’t put it back in the freezer in the Dash ice cream maker, put it in another container.If it becomes frozen really hard, put in microwave for about 10 seconds before serving.If you’re eating it with cookies, cake, or pie, this is two servings. If you are pigging out, eat it all yourself.Awesome.

When my grandchildren come every Friday night for a sleepover, the first thing they want to do is start making ice cream, lol. It has gotten to the point where I had to invest in another Dash Ice cream maker, so they would each have their own! Besides making great ice cream, we are also making wonderful memories. They are learning to help their grandmother in the kitchen and learning a skill. Of course what they love most is making a new flavor each week, and eating the ice cream, that they made themselves with the help of their Dash Ice Cream makers.

I wanted something to mix up my protein drinks into ice cream and didn’t want to pay a lot of money for something so simple. Black Friday, I found this ice cream maker at a reasonable price and decided it was worth to buy and try. There are a few adjustments DASH should consider such as the latch. There isn’t one. It also didn’t say how long to run the machine and you can’t leave it alone. It walks. It bangs, It rattles. I froze the bottom and the protein drink for three hours. It never got to ice cream consistancy but was OK like soft serve. The paddle is flimsy. I’ll see how well it holds up over the next couple months and update if I’m allowed. I’m hoping it will allow me to make some fun ice cream flavors in single serve. Since I bought it on Black Friday for $14, I’ll keep it and see how it goes.

I use this to make my protein shakes into ice cream. I had visions of creamy ice cream, but that is not the case. Even using milk instead of water the consistency is very icy and not creamy. Also it is very difficult to get all of the ice cream out of the container. The stuff on the sides is very very frozen and does not come off easily with the spoon provided. I have decided that it is easier to just blend my shakes in a blender with ice, then use this machine. I get virtually the same results only it is easier to get the ice cream out of the blender than it is this machine.
