Make homemade frozen treats right in your own kitchen with the Hamilton Beach Electric Ice Cream Maker. This 1.5 qt freezer-bowl maker is designed to prepare a variety of frozen desserts, so you can whip up everything from ice cream and frozen yogurt to sorbet and gelato in as little as 20 minutes. Because it uses a freezer-bowl design, the bowl needs to be prefrozen ahead of time; once it's ready, you place it on the base with the paddle and cover, turn on the simple on/off switch, and add your ingredients. There's no rock salt or hand churning involved in the process. Once your base is churning, it's easy to personalize each batch with your favorite mix-ins and toppings such as chopped fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, candy pieces, and sprinkles, making it a fun way to create treats exactly the way you like them.
