DASH My Mug Ice Cream Maker, for Ice Cream, Gelato, Sorbet, Frozen Yogurt, and Custom Mix-Ins

I love it! I was afraid of being disappointed, but it works great and the ice cream is terrific. I pour in some cream, a mashed up overripe peach and some sugar, and ten or fifteen minutes later what a treat! Also tried just using yoghurt with fruit in it with delicious results. Well made and cleans up quickly too.

The Dash Ice Cream Maker is perfect for making quick and small servings of ice cream, especially in the office or when you want a small treat. After freezing it for 24 hours, it’s easy to use with your favorite ice cream mix. In about 30 minutes, you’ll have soft serve ice cream. If you prefer it firmer, simply put it back in the freezer for a little longer.When I first used it, I didn’t realize that the mixer needs to be attached in a specific way. Make sure to line up the notches on the side for it to fit correctly. Once I figured that out, it worked great! It’s also pretty quiet, making it ideal for an office setting. Plus, it's compact enough to fit in small freezers or even in your work bag.Pros:Compact & Portable – Small enough to fit in your work bag and fits in small freezers.Quiet Operation – Doesn’t make a lot of noise, making it perfect for the office.Cute Design – Has a handle and a cup-like look, which is super cute and easy to use.Quick & Convenient – 30 minutes for soft serve ice cream, and you can freeze it for firmer results.Cons:Initial Setup – The mixer needs to be aligned with the notches, which may be tricky the first time you use it.Small Batch Size – Makes a small amount of ice cream, so it’s ideal for individual servings but not for larger groups.Overall, I love this ice cream maker for its portability, quiet operation, and cute design. It’s perfect for quick treats, and I’ll definitely be using it in the office!

This ice cream maker appears to be made well. There is some noise but not loud. Manual has easy to follow instructions. I decided to try a protein shake instead of one of the suggested recipes. The shake is 11 oz, but I should have measured out 8 oz. The book mentions not to over fill. There was some splashing in the beginning, but not horrible. So after about 10 hours in the freezer and chilling the liquid I mixed it and waited. It seemed to only get to slushy consistency which is fine for me since I was experimenting. Got a call and had to set it in the freezer and it froze solid. I think it would work well with different things just have to do a little planning. Easy to clean and store. Like it.

I got delicious home-made type of ice cream easily, and I love it! I think the issues the negatives reviews show are maybe due to not having cold enough ingredients, above all. I was disappointed at first, just getting freezing around the mug, and a liquid still in the center. So, I put the mixture in the freezer for a couple hours first, and then got a beautiful result.I'm planning to try making it with reconstituted powdered whole milk that I buy here on Amazon, so I can have a basically never-ending supply of ice cream, with no trip to the grocery store needed!

I like soft serve ice cream.

I followed the instructions. I froze the mug for 36 hours and chilled the ice cream mixture overnight. After 30 minutes of churning, it was liquid with some ice crystals. I followed the advice of another reviewer and tried returning the mug to the freezer (25-20 minutes) and then churning it some more. I did that twice. I found that after churning the mixture it just returned to a liquid. I am really surprised to read that some people managed to get the mixture to a " soft serve" consistency. I now have the mug in the freezer to see if it will freeze in a couple of hours to an ice cream like consistency. All in all, I would return it, but I've use it now. A $30 waste of money!

We love making ice cream. Works great.

Now this is a fun little gadget that makes perfect soft ice cream and if you put it in the freezer after mixing it makes pretty perfect hard ice cream. So easy to use, not much noise while using it. Great value for the money and a fun summer addition especially for kids of all ages ;)
