KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment for Stand Mixer, 2 Quart, KSMICM, White

A Sweet Game-Changer for Homemade Ice Cream! 🍦The KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment is super easy to use—no salt or ice needed. Just freeze the bowl, attach it, and let your mixer do the rest. The cold liquid inside the bowl keeps everything chilled while it churns. It takes about 20 min but you do nothing…your kitchenAid and bowl combo does all the work. It is actually pretty fast.The ice cream turns out so creamy and delicious! I also grabbed the KitchenAid Ice Cream Recipe Book on Amazon for flavor ideas. The attachment is a bit expensive but totally worth it if you love ice cream.The premix is a little too sweet. Buy the book or go online and get a simple recipe.The bowl also works wonderful for homemade whip cream.You just wash out your bowl when done and dry It. Very easy to clean. Pop It back in the freezer for next time.I find this ice cream a bit healthier because you are in control of what you put in It.Don’t be fooled by the drive anssembly., I thought It did not fit but It fits tight once you put attach to the blender.I would and will purchase again.⸻

We love homemade ice cream and this is fabulous! Needed to make several batches for a bridal shower and did not want to use an ice cream freezer dealing with the ice and salt.The only minus is the size. Most recipes are for a 4 qt freezer and this one is only 2 quarts so it takes 2 days to make a full batch. You have to plan ahead or keep the bowl in the freezer. It was still a good purchase.

I love this attachment! It's works great and is easy to clean. The ice cream tastes amazing!

Bowl lasted through 5-6 dessert-making experiences. I made ice cream each time and stayed with pretty generic recipes. I followed all instructions for handling and caring for the bowl and stored it when it was not in use. The most recent attempt to make ice cream however was accompanied by a counter covered in liquid, as I scrambled to keep my dogs from licking the floors. The bowl formed a crack from the base to the lip. I contacted Kitchen-Aid, hopefully, this will get resolved soon.... Update! Within 2 weeks we had a new bowl at our step from Kitchen Aid free of charge.

I had two issues with the product, both minor. First, the connector attachment doesn't fit flush to the mixer, which makes it a bit awkward to setup - not difficult, just awkward. The instructions do not tell you that once you start churning the ice cream, you cannot stop until it is completed period. If you stop he mixer for any reason, do NOT restart it. If you do, the plastic connector will snap as the dasher will have frozen in the bowl. This happened to me when our power went out for about 30 seconds then came back on. I wasn't close enough to get to the mixer to stop it when the power came back on and I heard a loud snap and the connect plastic had broken. It would have been nice if there was a warning in the instructions about power outages. Overall though, the ice cream maker works well. I made a no-added sugar chocolate ice cream with sugar free chocolate chips mixed in as well as a pink champagne sorbet. Both were quick and easy. Clean-up is simple. The bowl does take up a large amount of my freezer space prior to making the ice cream. My freezer is set a -1 F, so it only takes about 15 minutes to churn the ice cream.

Easy to use. The most time is spent freezing the bowl. Makes around a quart of ice cream/sorbet/etc. There's a lot of recipes online for use with this a d they're yummy! Its heavy, high quality. Freezes easily, just takes time.

I’ve had a stand alone kitchen aid ice cream maker & I think I like this more. It freezes a little faster but more evenly. There’s time to scoop the ice cream out before it gets rock hard on the inside of the bowl, which yields a more uniform texture. Very easy to clean. Could use a snap on lid for clean freezer storage but I use foil.

I purchased the ice cream maker attachment to use with my dedicated Passover Kitchen Aid 5 Quart Artisan Mixer (which is in addition to the Kitchen Aid mixer I have on my kitchen counter the other 51 weeks of the year). On Passover, Jews cannot eat ice cream purchased from grocery stores or ice cream shops, because that ice cream generally contains additives which are derived from one or more of the forbidden grains. I thought it would be cool and different to serve ice cream sundaes, along with the usual coconut macaroons, for dessert at my Passover Seders. Now, as for the ice cream maker attachment...I love it, I found it super easy to use, and everyone at my Seders thought the ice cream was delicious and had the proper texture. All that said, my two words of advice to anyone who is considering purchasing this device are: PLAN AHEAD. When ordering the attachment, also select a cookbook for making ice cream with your mixer. When the box arrives, be sure to open it immediately, wash and thoroughly dry the bowl and other two parts, and get that dry bowl into the coldest part of your freezer ASAP. The bowl must freeze for a minimum of 16 hours. I read some of the less complimentary reviews and disagree completely with those descriptions of how the dasher (the thing that sits in the middle of the bowl and spins the ice cream) and drive assembly function. My experience with the dasher and drive assembly is that they worked perfectly. Back to planning ahead: when the ice cream has finished spinning (total time approximately 20 minutes +/-), it will have the consistency of soft serve. One then needs to very quickly use a silicone spatula or mixing spoon to scoop out the ice cream into two 1 liter containers (also available on Amazon), put those containers in the coldest part of the freezer and wait for at least two hours to allow the ice cream to freeze in a serious way. My personal result was approximately two liters of creamy chocolate chip ice cream. It really is a fun process using a great product, but it may not work well for a person who constantly needs immediate gratification. You know who you are!
