Cuisinart Ice-45 Mix It In
Guest review by T.O.P. reader Heather. Pay her a visit, won’t you?
For no particular reason my aunt sent us a gift of a Cuisinart Ice 45 Mix It In Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker and it was a great surprise. Unfortunately, it may have been a little too great since I have been making it 2-3 times a week and I’m trying to lose weight. We already had a more basic ice cream maker that rarely got used but this one is a soft serve one that lets you mix in candy toppings and even has a cone holder. The kids think its a ton of fun and every time we have their friends over we make it.
The kids can even do it themselves (with a hovering adult ready to prevent an overflow). The kids and I win out about 90% of the time and I make chocolate but my husband loves vanilla. I’m selfish and have gotten the kids to prefer chocolate so I get my favorite flavor!
If you get one of these you have to add some time onto the recommended cooling time, I think it tells you it takes 12-15 minutes to be ready but we let it run at least 20 minutes or it is too runny. Thats its only flaw, otherwise its the tastiest, most fun thing in our kitchen!
Buy it from Amazon. It’s on sale now for $100 (from $235) and ships free!
