Product Description
With the unique Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you can make ice cream while on camping trips, at picnics, barbecues, and many other places. You don’t need electricity to make great tasting ice cream, but rather just add ice and rock salt in one end and ice cream mix in the other end. Then, have a ball as you shake it, pass it, or roll it around for 10 to 15 minutes. The ice cream mix can be as simple as cream, sugar, and vanilla or you can try a more adventurous flavor from the included recipe list or make up your own concoction. Made of durable polycarbonate, the Ice Cream Ball is lightweight, portable, and easy to clean.

Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker (The Ice Cream Ball) Review
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for an 11 year old girl in our community. I got her request from our “Angel Tree”. It is true to color and very appealing. I purchased rock salt, vanilla and sugar to go with the gift. She would need the cream and ice when she started to use the ball. I have no idea if it worked well for her as we do not have personal contact with the kids. It would be useful as a game as well as being decorative.

My grandaughter had this marked in a magazine I received in the mail. I love the great colors to choose from and her favorite is, of course, pink. I received it quickly and have not talked to her since she has used it. So I cannot say how the Ice Cream Maker worked for her, but I’m sure she has had a “ball” with it. It is a very cool product.

I bought one of these ice cream balls for two different Grandchildren (one 7 year old and a 12 year old) for Christmas this year and it was the hit of the Season. The children each invited a friend to their house to make the ice cream for the first time. The end product was really delicious – one family added M & M’s to theirs and the other made plain vanilla.

This is a great way to keep the kids involved while making the ice cream. I have a friend who teaches elementary school and has me in with both our ice cream balls every year when covering the letter “i”. The kids LOVE rolling the ball, though we do have to watch after them and make sure they don’t THROW them.

I ordered this for a demonstration of freezing point depression for my chemistry class. The timing is perfect for a 53 minute period with time enough to serve the ice cream and the students getting to eat it before the time is up. The one quart capacity works well for for up to 30 students. The ice cream was smooth and creamy. I suppose it will work well for family picnics and keep the kids busy.
