Finally! A convenient way to make delicious Homemade Ice Cream. With the Double Treat Ice Creame Maker you can make two different recipes at the same time. Just add your favorite ingredients and place into your freezer, then a thermal sensor will activate the unit to mix the ingredients for you automatically.

This ice cream maker takes AA batteries and your refrigerator’s freezer to work. It takes 4-5 hours for it to complete the ice cream. The results? Two scoops of creamy tasty ice cream. If you are willing to wait so long for so little reward, this ice cream maker is well worth it.

I’ve used this unit 3 times now with unsatisfactory results each time. Long before the 4-5 hours specified in the manual were up, the motor — which is only driven by 4 AA batteriess after all — stopped having enough oomph to stir the thickening liquid. And if you patiently wait for the alotted time to expire like I did at first, trusting that it was sitting in your freezer working as it should, you end up with a very solid, very un-ice-cream-like lump of frozen crystalized cream.
I had slightly better results by checking on it after a few hours and manually stirring a bit to break up the biggest clumps and get the blades going again, but it still wasn’t what I would call a good experience.
I regret purchasing this thing, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
