Why Choose the GreenPan Frost Ice Cream Maker?

The GreenPan Frost ice cream maker handles the chilling for you with its built-in compressor. This means you do not need to clear space in your freezer or remember to freeze a special bowl before using it.

Its 15-in-1 design gives you plenty of options beyond regular ice cream. You can use it to make soft serve, slushies, frozen yogurt, sorbet, sherbet, custard, smoothies, protein shakes, milkshakes, frozen cocktails, mocktails, and dairy-free treats. This variety makes it useful for family gatherings, movie nights, summer parties, or simply trying a new dessert at home.

You get six operating modes to take the guesswork out of each recipe, plus seven texture settings, so you can make your dessert soft and creamy or firmer and thicker. To make things even better, the included recipe booklet suggests the best settings for different treats.

With its 2-quart (64-ounce) capacity, this ice cream maker lets you make multiple servings at once. A clear bowl lets you watch the mixture chill, while the fountain-style handle makes it easy to dispense each serving. You can also attach the included star tip to create the classic soft-serve swirl.

Cleanup is simple thanks to the dedicated Extrude/Clean mode. After dispensing any leftovers, add warm water and a drop of dish soap to the bowl. The rotating blades loosen the remaining mixture, and you can repeat the cycle until the machine is clean.

GreenPan also includes a removable mixing bowl, cleaning brushes, two swirl covers, an accessory bag, extra gaskets, a quick-start guide, and a recipe booklet. Plus, the machine runs quietly, making it easier to prepare a late-night dessert or an afternoon treat without filling the kitchen with noise.

  $279 at Amazon

At $279, the GreenPan Frost ice cream maker is still an investment, but Amazon’s $121 discount makes it easier to justify. Its fast built-in chilling, family-size capacity, and wide range of frozen treats could make it a fun addition for anyone who wants homemade desserts without all the advance planning.
