Make frozen desserts and drinks in just 20 to 30 minutes using Cuisinart's vintage-looking ice cream maker. Though it has a retro look, it's every bit modern with a double-insulated freezer bowl that holds 1.5-quarts. An automatic mixing arm moves ingredients around so there's no hand-cranking on your part. On top is a large spout for adding ingredients like chocolate chips, candy bits or nuts. An easy-lock, transparent lid stays shut while in operation yet allows you to view the ice cream-making process. In between uses, keep the removable bowl in your freezer. By doing that, your ingredients will chill faster when it's time to make the next batch. For ideas, a recipe booklet is included.
