Making Ice Cream With An Attachment
The essence of an ice cream maker is to stir the milk and cream and flavor mix while it slowly freezes. The well equipped kitchen already contains many mixers, so manufacturers have created attachments that serve to stir a freezing ice cream mix. These attachments usually work in conjunction with a special bowl that contains walls with ice packs, which are prefrozen in a freezer. Then the cream and flavor and milk and sugar mix is added to the bowl, and the bowl is attached to the mixer. The mixer itself may contain a special attachment to stir the freezing ice cream. These attachments are often available for ten to fifty dollars, and provide an economical way to make this delicious creamy treat.
KitchenAid is a major manufacturer of ice cream makers and attachments. Here is a video of an attachment to a KitchenAid mixer while it makes ice cream. Enjoy!
