There are some kitchen gadgets you buy with the best intentions and then they gather dust. This is not one of them. I’ve been using the Cuisinart Freeze & Mix Ice Cream Maker with Freeze Wand for weeks now, and it’s fast become one of my favourite ways to feel smug and summery, especially when I’m handing out homemade raspberry ripple or lemon sorbet to friends who are convinced I’ve suddenly become a domestic goddess.
If you’re shopping for the best ice cream maker right now, you’ll notice most either need a huge amount of freezer space (we see you, Ninja Creami) or hours of advance planning. This model is neither. It’s slim, quick to set up, and cleverly avoids the clunky compressor unit that other machines rely on.
