Buffalo Ice Cream Maker 1.5Ltr and Jude's Ice Cream & Desserts: Scoops, bakes, shakes and sauces

Product Information

With a normal ice cream maker, you need to make the base, before chilling it for a minimum of four hours. This ice cream maker works in a different way to the other machines on our shortlist, because it starts with a frozen base. That means you’re ready to mush your ice cream mix and ingredients together on top, spread it all out into a thin rectangle, then carefully peel it off again into a roll shape. It’s also so good-looking you’ll want to display it proudly, with a minty green metallic base and simple, sleek design. The machine is a smaller version of the one Pan-N-Ice use for catering events, and although it does take up a fair bit of space on the kitchen worktop, we were impressed at how quickly it was up and running.

It was so easy to use that we quickly began experimenting with our own recipes rather than following the ones provided, and, so far, every one has been a success. Apart from the Ninja Creami, all of the ice cream makers in this list work in a fairly similar fashion (although some more affordable models will require you to pre-freeze the bowl before use). We tried both types of ice cream makers and made the basic vanilla ice cream recipe provided with each one, to see how they compared. This ice cream maker from Cuisinart hits the perfect middle ground between basic and blowout, and it really is a great all-rounder. It has a sleek metal finish, which is a bit of a pain to clean if you get your cream-covered fingerprints all over it, but nonetheless looks nice and smart on a countertop.Its digital display tells you exactly where your dessert is on the spectrum between cold custard and ice cream, it’s quick and efficient, and the ice cream we got at the end was beautifully silky. It comes down to the way the machine incorporates less air than other ice cream makers, by use of a churning program that involves 10 minutes on, and four-minutes off. The majority of ice cream recipes provided involve making a custard mix on the hob with egg yolks, which also then needs to be cooled in the fridge for 4-6 hours.

It’s the loudest of all the ice cream makers we tested while it’s spinning, but it’s also the quickest.

We tried the vanilla ice cream recipe using the minimum freezing time for the bowl and the minimum cooling time for the mix, and found that the mixture was still a little too soft after the full 30 minutes churning time.

Honey roast fig - This is definitely one of the more oo-la-la flavour combos, but it’s a great way to celebrate the few months per year that we get fresh figs. When you’re ready to eat, plug the tub into the Ninja creami, choose one of the preset programs, hit a button, and the machine’s blades mix the solid, frozen base into a soft dessert. We also found the recipes with egg yolks made a richer, creamier ice cream that the adults enjoyed, while the kids preferred the egg-free options. The recipe for classic vanilla, for example, is made from 100ml of fresh milk, 50ml of condensed milk and a bit of vanilla essence. We did find this part quite messy, as the opening isn’t huge, but it’s handy for dropping in extra bits and bobs later in the churning process.The basic recipe provided does involve making a custard first but a non-cook, egg-free recipe would work just as well.
