The Softie is a countertop soft-serve machine that turns a milk or cream base plus mix-ins into soft ice cream in about 20 minutes, with no ice or rock salt needed. Its bowl lives in the freezer, so the only prep is pouring and pressing a button. It makes a half pint per batch, which suits one or two people rather than a family dessert rush. Against compressor machines that churn back-to-back batches, it trades capacity and continuous use for simplicity and quick single servings. Owners rate it highly for ease and the kids-can-do-it factor.

Owners rate the Softie very highly and mostly talk about how easy it is and how much kids enjoy using it. The recurring caveat is batch size: a half pint goes quickly.
The Softie Countertop Ice Cream Maker makes soft serve at home from a milk or cream base and your choice of add-ins. It uses a freezer bowl, so it needs no ice or rock salt. One batch makes a half pint.
To use it, freeze the bowl overnight, or keep it in the freezer so it's always ready. Pour in a base such as milk, cream or oat milk. Add fruit, chocolate chips, cookies or peanut butter, then press the single button. After about twenty minutes of churning, the soft serve is ready to eat right away or to firm up in the freezer.
The machine is light and has one button, so it can stay out on the counter. It has two parts to wash, which can be rinsed by hand or put in the dishwasher.
