If you asked some of my guests including my son what he loves most, I know the first thing they would say is ‘homemade icecream’.  My favourite icecream maker would have to be the gaggia gelateria ice cream maker. Its great how you can simply switch it on and literally 30 minutes later you have superb homemade icecream. The results are  professional, no one would realise it was homemade from looking at the resulting icecream, until they taste it.

There is a warning though, ‘once tried you will never want mass produced ice cream again!’

The Gaggia Ice Cream Maker - Geletiera Model 74500N has a self-refrigerating bowl which is easy cleaning and a additional bowl with the machine. This ice cream maker makes 2 pints of ice cream each time.

Its so easy to make a great dessert for everyday or for a dinner party. What a line to say, you made the ice cream yourself! To be honest its great to have around during the festive season. If you have a guest who dosen’t like christmas pudding or mince pies, well you can just make them feel that extra special with home made ice cream and as for kids parties it perfect.

Here is one of our favourite ice cream recipes

Homemade Chocolate Chips Ice Cream

You will need -
250ml pint milk, 250ml double cream, 75g sugar, 125g plain chocolate (grated)

Place your milk and sugar into a saucepan and heat gently, dissolving the sugar. Place the milk to one side to cool and when cold, stir in the cream.  Then simply transfer the mixture into your ice cream maker to freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions BUT remember to add the grated chocolate as the ice cream begins to thicken.

Let me know your favourite ice cream flavour is? the varieties you can make are endless.
