Whynter 自動アイスクリーム&ヨーグルトメーカー 2.1クォート ICM-220CGY

Although the machine does take up a lot of counter space, it’s worth it. 😊! So easy to use, grand children love coming over and make ice cream for dessert.

I'm really enjoying this WHYNTER Ice Cream Maker. My homemade ice cream making journey was inspired by making one quart of gelato at a new restaurant I started working at when it opened a couple months ago. After work that day I started researching different models on Amazon. Besides the good reviews, the major selling point for me was the hatch built into the lid which allows the addition of ingredients while churning without removing the entire lid. That feature is perfect for adding melted and cooked candies for a fleck effect. After a month of use, I'm very impressed with the performance of this machine. Within two weeks of using the WHYNTER Ice Cream Maker for the first time I've churned five unique flavors of my own design - all French custard based. Last night 4 weeks after the first churn - I completed my 6th original recipe ice cream after 44 hours of prep time. 24 hours to cold steep fresh, local coffee grounds in kefir, and another 20 hours to allow all the flavors of the base to merge in the refrigerator. I enjoy the texture that coffee fines lends to the finished product, and didn't want the hassle of brewing, reducing and cooling coffee for the ice cream. I use Cage Free, organic egg yolks, raw cane sugar and either a raw honey or pure maple syrup in each recipe. I'm enjoying the fact that I'll never have to buy ice cream again unless there's a flavor I really want to try that I don't believe I'll be able to come close to replicating. A new flavor from Jeni's that took five years to develop is on that list since I wouldn't use acorn flour for anything else. When devising a recipe for ice cream I have no intention of trying to exactly replicate an existing flavor. First, that takes all the fun out of developing a unique recipe. Second, I'd need to buy a bunch of artificial ingredients that I don't want added to my flavors. The pinkish ice cream in my included photos was my interpretation of Jeni's Blueberry Lemon Parfait - made using Starry Soda Stream Concentrate, homemade graham crackers and homemade blueberry Compote. I intentionally mixed the compote into the churn so as not to mimic even the look of the flavor it's based on. For my Root Beer flavored ice cream, I went so far as to broil and cool form fitted toppings for each pint composed of each of the additions to the flavor - mini marshmallows which were tossed in Mug Root Beer Soda Stream Concentrate prior to broiling, pretzel bits, and butterscotch chips. I've only made ice cream using the WHYNTER so far, though I do have plans to try my hand at both sherbet and gelato. Each batch has churned in under an hour, making the machine both fast and easy to use. It has a dedicated spot in my kitchen so I don't have to worry about constantly disrupting the condenser between uses. And it's the perfect size bowl for yielding a few pints worth of each flavor.

I've had it less than a week and i have made ice "cream" (oatmilk - can't have dairy) and soy yogurt. Today I will make another batch of ice cream. The bright shiny bucket comes out easily, is easy to fill and also clean. This replaced a smaller machine and I am loving the larger capacity. It takes longer, but that makes sense with the bigger batch. The ice cream turned out great. Add-ins went in easily through the door in the lid. I used the included scoop to avoid scratching the interior of the bucket. The soy yogurt took 5 hours longer than estimated, but it turned out well. It was runny, but that's just a recipe adjustment to compensate for using soy. I was excited about the capacity so I made 2 quarts. That is a LOT of yogurt. lol. It's a great machine. Happy with this purchase.

I used to have a cheap ice cream maker, the one where you put the bowl in the freezer and have to wait a whole day to make ice cream and that’s if you remember to put it in. This ice cream maker is a dream! Just literally make your base, set it to ice cream and press start! We made Coconut Ice Cream. It was so good, great texture and good recipe. If you’re thinking about an ice cream maker, this one will sure not disappoint.

Wow! Clean taste. Can make with all kinds of milk. So easy.
