Homemade ice cream for under $30 sounds pretty sweet. Walmart has dropped the Beautiful 1.5 Qt Ice Cream Maker by Drew Barrymore from $55 to just $27, saving you $28.
That price gets you a countertop machine that can handle sorbet, gelato, and frozen yogurt, with frozen treats ready in as little as 20 minutes once everything is prepared. Plus, its 1.5-quart capacity gives you enough room to make a batch for more than one person.
Why Choose This Ice Cream Maker?
The Beautiful ice cream maker keeps the process fairly simple. Its touchscreen display offers three adjustable presets for ice cream, sorbet, and gelato, making it easy to choose what you want without having to dig through the settings.
It also has a digital countdown timer that shows how much time is left. You get an alert sound when the cycle finishes. Plus, the machine automatically shuts off, so you don’t have to stand over it waiting for the exact moment your dessert is ready.
The machine comes with a mixing paddle that handles the churning automatically. And thanks to its flip-up lid, you can add multiple ingredients without worrying about splattering. That opens the door to mixing in chocolate chips, crushed cookies, fruit, candy pieces, or whatever else sounds good.
Additionally, this ice cream maker features a double-walled insulated freezing bowl, so you won’t need to add ice to the machine while it churns. However, the bowl needs to be properly frozen beforehand, so this isn’t quite a machine you can pull out of the cabinet and use immediately.
Walmart’s $28 price cut brings the Beautiful 1.5 Qt Ice Cream Maker down to $27, about 51% off its regular $55 price. That’s a sizable discount for a machine that can make four different kinds of frozen treats, especially if you’ve been looking for an inexpensive way to try homemade ice cream.
