We were recently asked to review something from Savisto. They specialise in homeware and they have many great kitchen gadgets. It was hard to decide what we should review.

Over the summer we went to stay with our friends in Devon and they had recently got an ice cream maker. They said how good it was and I have wanted to get one ever since. I wondered if it was the right time of year to be reviewing an ice cream maker but I then realised that ice cream is delicious at anytime of year!

When the ice cream maker arrived we were very excited and looked forward to trying it out. Before we could make our ice cream we had to pre freeze the bowl for at least 8-12 hours. We popped the bowl in the freezer the night before we wanted to use it.

The ice cream maker came with a great recipe book. There are so many recipes that I want to try, including melon sorbet and peanut butter ice cream! We decided to try the strawberry ice cream recipe first as that is mine and Bob’s favourite flavour!

Here is the recipe we used.

You will need:

500g strawberries
300ml double cream
100g caster sugar
Juice of 1 lemon

Method

1) Remove the stalks from the strawberries and puree them.

3) Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers instructions.

4) Transfer into a freezer proof container and freeze.

Using the ice cream maker was very exciting! It froze the mixture from the edge and churned it until it was all frozen.

We couldn’t wait for the ice cream to go into the freezer but it was delicious straight from the machine! I actually preferred it to when it had been in the freezer as it was softer. When we ate the rest of the ice cream the next day, I found it was nicer when it had been at room temperature for a little while.

The ice cream was absolutely delicious! I know we had made it and we were biased but it was the nicest ice cream we have ever had! Everyone enjoyed it!

We love our new ice cream maker and we are planning to make lots of different flavours! We are looking forward to an ice cream filled winter!

    You’re right. You can have ice cream anytime. I had one of these but never used it. Sold it then but could do with one again.
