Tried it several times and could not get it to turn into custard. Tried freezing the bowl for 24 hours. Tried putting the ingredients in the fridge for hours before mixing. Nothing worked. Super disappointing.
Tried this twice and both times the recipe followed and both times the ice cream mix never hardened. Had to throw away the mix twice. Once I froze the container upside down so it would be level, the second time I froze the container rightside up and leveled it with other items in the freezer.
I bought this for the sole purpose of making frozen margaritas without ice so that the end product is not diluted. I have used other ice cream makers to do this in the past, but so much product would freeze to the side of the bucket. Having a machine that continues to churn while dispensing is just what I was looking for and makes this a breeze to whip up and without a prohibitive cost. I highly recommend and am sure it will work just fine for ice cream too! LOL
You have to make sure it is soft enough to come out, but it will not be sturdy enough to sit on the cone and will melt fast! Too frozen or firm and you will have to scoop it out because it won't come out! Hit or miss!
