DASH My Mug Ice Cream Maker, for Ice Cream, Gelato, Sorbet, Frozen Yogurt, and Custom Mix-Ins

After reading several reviews of people only being able to make ice cream soup I was pretty skeptical of this product. But I figured it was worth risking the $20 to try it out since I love soft serve ice cream. The ice cream maker worked perfectly for me to make a simple vanilla ice cream with some chocolate chips mixed in. I ended up freezing the base for 3 full days and followed the vanilla recipe that came with the ice cream maker exactly. I added the ingredients after I started the machine and let it churn for about 25 minutes. It came out the perfect soft serve texture for me. It does melt very quickly if you don't eat it right away. You can also put it in the freezer for a harder texture which I ended up doing with half of it.I can't wait to try other flavors and frozen yogurt. The only thing I don't like about this machine so far is the hole to pour the ingredients is kind of small. So I'm not sure how a thick mixture like yogurt will get into the machine while it's spinning without making a mess. I guess I'll find out in a few days after the mug refreezes!

I got this ice cream maker as a birthday gift for my husband Joey, and we’ve used it constantly since. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and the results are delicious every single time. We’ve already experimented with a few recipes — classic vanilla, strawberry, even a maple bourbon one — and everything has come out smooth and creamy.The motor is quiet, the parts feel sturdy, and the design is simple enough that we didn’t even need to overthink it. We just keep the bowl in the freezer and pull it out when inspiration (or a craving) hits.It’s become a fun little ritual for us, and honestly, I don’t think we’ll ever go back to store-bought pints. Highly recommend if you want to feel like a dessert wizard with minimal effort. A great value for the money!!

This ice cream maker appears to be made well. There is some noise but not loud. Manual has easy to follow instructions. I decided to try a protein shake instead of one of the suggested recipes. The shake is 11 oz, but I should have measured out 8 oz. The book mentions not to over fill. There was some splashing in the beginning, but not horrible. So after about 10 hours in the freezer and chilling the liquid I mixed it and waited. It seemed to only get to slushy consistency which is fine for me since I was experimenting. Got a call and had to set it in the freezer and it froze solid. I think it would work well with different things just have to do a little planning. Easy to clean and store. Like it.

This system works great! I have long wanted an ice cream maker for my home, but have hesitated due to appliance size, and difficulty in cleaning. When I came across this ice cream maker, I was skeptical. The process seemed too easy, the pieces of the system seemed too small, and clean up seemed too simple. But, for the low price, I figured it was worth a try. I am not disappointed! I am actually quite impressed! The maker came with a clear and simple booklet of instructions with recipes for multiple flavors of ice cream. When I follow the instructions as written, I am able to turn out a delicious, creamy ice cream that is full on flavor. It is a multi-step process that requires chilling the bowls in the freezer at least a day ahead of time. When it is ice cream making time, one bowl is removed from the freezer at a time, filled with ingredients, and churned for 20-25 minutes. The ice cream is ready to eat at this time, and will be the consistency of soft serve. For a firmer ice cream (my preference), the bowl goes back into the freezer for a couple of hours. I used to cover the bowls with plastic wrap, but have since invested a few dollars into an optional accessory for this system, silicone lids that fit over the bowls. The difference in taste between this homemade ice cream and store-bought is distinct! The cream and sugar in the homemade ice cream stands out in a wonderful way. Additionally, it takes just four ingredients to make the vanilla ice cream recipe: sugar, skim milk, heavy cream, and vanilla. The included recipe book also has dairy-free and vegan recipe options.

I had one of these that just made one bowl, and it was great. Easy and fun to use. Easy to make, especially when I could make nondairy ice cream. No huge mess, no long wait. A good little ice cream maker for the price.My public library has the old-fashioned ice cream makers that anyone with a card can check out. That's great for making a TON of ice cream. I do use that service. But for just a quick little treat, this is great.

I love soft serve ice cream. Now I don't have to go out to get it. I can make it in 20 minutes. And it is so delicious. I make the liquid, start up the ice cream maker. Pour it in and then go eat my dinner and by the time I'm done dinner and clean up ... my soft serve ice cream is done.I don't use that much sugar because I add chocolate syrup to it and that takes care of the sugar. I am so happy I found this. And if you like soft serve ice cream Buy this little ice cream maker. But if you would rather have the hard frozen ice cream dump it out of the freezer cup and put in a container and back in freeze till it freezes to your consistency. So happy with this ice cream maker.
