Nutribullet's New Ice Cream Maker Turns Everyday Ingredients Into Frozen Treats in Minutes – And It's Already My Favorite Appliance of the Summer
It's the more convenient way to artisanal, home-made pints
I love ice cream. Come rain or shine, there are few situations a tub of a creamy sweet treat wouldn't improve. That is why I am so obsessed with Nutribullet's new compact Chill Ice Cream Maker.
The small-but-mighty machine can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, smoothie bowls, and frozen yogurt without monopolizing your counters, making it the perfect ice cream maker for small spaces.
With $57 off for the Amazon Prime Day sale, the Nutribullet Chill is the most affordable this quick-fan-favorite has ever been. It's a no-brainer: If you love a summer ice cream social, you need this petite pint maker.
Available in five dreamy colors: Black, White, Cotton Candy Pink, Mint Chip Green, and Latte Beige, this compact ice cream maker uses a double-sided blade and dual-direction rotation to ensure creamier results faster than other ice cream makers.
Yes, it is easy enough to go to the store and buy a pre-made pint of ice cream when the sun comes out. However, homemade gives you the chance to have fun with personalized ice cream recipes to suit any mood or occasion.
Once you have frozen the ingredients for 24 hours, the maker churns your mix to creamy perfection.
It is the customer reviews that have me so excited to add one to my counter. Dadorf, on Amazon, shared in their five-star review, 'So far we've tried everything but smoothie bowls, and we're hooked! Our favorites are frozen yogurt (we use a whole milk strawberry flavored yogurt), the ice cream, and the mango sorbet recipe that came with the Chill is to die for!
'What we normally do is run the Nutribullet Chill the next night as we finish dinner, and bam! Fresh frozen delight! It's so easy to use, the recipes that come with it are delicious, and we can alter the basic formula to add our own ingredients. Two containers are included, so you can double up or stay one ahead, like we do, with tomorrow's treat in the freezer while we're gobbling up one we just made.'
Perhaps the biggest draw, however, is the size. As I struggle with small kitchen storage, ice cream makers have previously felt like too much of an investment. They have a reputation for being bulky and tricky to store, and for me, a single-function appliance usually is not worth the space.
Measuring just 9.6"L x 5.74"W x 15.08"H, the Nutribullet is around half the size of traditional ice cream makers, making it simple to store or leave on the counter. It's already in my basket, and I can't wait to make the most of it to survive summer.
