My wife and I recently purchased a KitchenAid stand mixer from a well-known warehouse store. Their current model is the KV25M (it says Professional 550 HD on the motor) which appears to have almost identical specs, 575 watts, to the Kitchenaid Pro 600 and is also a bowl-lift model. (Even though it's labeled a "5-1/2 Qt. mixer", the bowl is actually 6 qt.) We've had the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream & Dessert Book from years but never owned an ice-cream maker. Within a week we decided we had to have the Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker attachment.
I did a lot of research before I actually bought it and was pretty clear on several points:
- the bowl has to be solidly frozen in the freezer, preferably for at least 24 hours
- the ice cream mixture has to be well-refrigerated, at least 2-8 hours
- to keep things as cold as possible, quickly assemble the bowl and dasher attachment, turn on the mixer, and start pouring the refrigerated mixture into the machine
After 20-30 minutes you'll have ice cream with a soft-serve consistency. It can be pretty messy getting everything off the the dasher and out of the bowl. It melts really quickly, but it's pretty tasty! It gets even better after it's cured, so the sooner you can get it into the freezer after churning the better.
We made "Jerry's Chocolate" from the B&J Ice Cream Book. We left the bowl in the freezer for over 24 hours. We mixed up the custard and refrigerated it overnight. The next afternoon we did the churning, then we each had a small bowl and put the rest in the freezer. The results were...well, first let me finish!
There's a video on YouTube [...] that shows how to use the Ice Cream Maker attachment. It's the best one I found and it's a pretty accurate depiction of how everything should be done, but the best part is at the end. In this video the cook scoops the soft-serve ice cream out of the bowl and puts it into a small, flat pan. She covered it with aluminum foil and put it into the freezer. Then she takes it out of the freezer and using an ice-cream scoop, scrapes the scoop along the length of the pan, producing perfect ice cream curls! After some research, I determined that she is probably using a "third size" stainless steel steam pan like this: Excellante Third Size 2-1/2-Inch Deep 24 Gauge Anti Jam Pans.
I found that the dimensions were somewhat similar to a standard loaf pan; a little shallower, longer and wider, but pretty close so I used our non-stick bread loaf pan, putting down a layer of pastic wrap right on the surface of the ice cream to prevent icing and then covered the pan with aluminum foil. This worked great!
Oh, and the results were FANTASTIC! The chocolate ice cream was creamy and smooth, with a deep chocolate taste. The consistency was just like ice cream should be, not icy, but hard enough to "chew" yet soft enough that it will quickly melt in your mouth.
This was our first attempt and it was a resounding success! We're looking forward to many more batches of yummy, creamy, tasty ice cream! And some gelato. And some sorbet.

Tips for Great Results
The freeze bowl must be completely frozen to make ice cream or other frozen desserts.
For best results, store the freeze bowl in the back of your freezer where the temperature is coldest for at least 15 hours. Adjusting your freezer to its coldest setting will help the freeze bowl make firmer ice cream faster.
Storing the freeze bowl in the freezer at all times allows you the flexibility to make your favori
For recipes that need to be pre-cooked, allow the mixture to cool completely in the refrigerator.
All batter recipes need to be completely chilled in the refrigerator before making ice cream.
Most ice cream recipes call for a combination of cream, milk, eggs, and sugar. The type of cream you choose will determine how rich in flavor and how creamy the texture of the finished result. The higher percentage of fat in the cream, the richer and creamier your ice cream will be. Any combination can be used, as long as the liquid measurement stays the same. Lighter ice creams can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating cream. Skim milk will work, but there will be a noticeable difference in texture.
Type of Cream Fat %
- Heavy Cream 36%
- Whipping Cream 30%
- Light Cream 18%
- Half and Half 10%

Best Ice cream ever! My favorite new kitchen gadget!
I prefer to eat non-procesed foods whenever possible, and store bought ice cream is full of additives, so I usually skip it when I'm at the grocery store. One night, while watching a series of YouTube videos I watched a recipe for ice cream where the host was using this KitchenAid attachment. I promptly bought it and decided to perfect a vanilla ice cream first before venturing out to creative concoctions. I found an amazing recipe from The NY Times and made the custard base....ugh...had to wait an extra day or the Ice Cream maker to freeze! Finally the time came for me to test it and all I can say is I'm hooked. I never cared for vanilla ice cream, but when it's good quality and made well, that's all you need.On my first attempt, it took 35 minutes and the custard was still very soft, took another 12 hoursbin the freezer to achieve the perfect creamy texture. I also live in Florida and even though my house stays cool, my kitchen was not.Here are some things that I learned after making my first batch.1) Don't be tempted to scrape the sides during freezing. I couldn't resist, but all I did was remove cold cream that would have helped my ice cream freeze faster.2) Freeze the dasher! I don't think that's in the instructions, but the room temperature dasher can transfer the heat to the cold custard base.3) Add a little more sugar than you think you need, the colder it gets the less apparent the sugar becomes.4) DO NOT, and I mean really DON'T touch the frozen bowl with wet hands...just trust me, ok?5) The warmer your kitchen, the quicker the bowl will defrost. Try not to make ice cream if your oven is on...yeah that happened!6) If you're making vanilla ice cream use the real extract or beans, not the fake stuff they sell in most grocery stores.Here's the recipe I used. This gadget so far has been a fantastic addition to our kitchen!ICE CREAM BASETime: 20 minutes plus several hours’ cooling, chilling and freezing2 cups heavy cream1 cup whole milk⅔ cup sugar⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt6 large egg yolksYour choice of flavoring (see grid below, or invent your own)1. In a small pot, simmer cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream. Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.3. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.Yield: About 1 1/2 pints

Excelente como todo lo de kitchenaid
Color: fits 5 and 6 quart mixersStyle: DiscontinuedVerified Purchase
Este tazón es muy útil para hacer helados, sin embargo, si no tienes tiempo no creo que sea la mejor opción. Es necesario dejar el tazón en el congelador un dia antes para hacer el helado. Después de 20 min la preparación tiene una cosistencia como de helado que has dejado fuera del refrigerador, por lo que hay que dejarlo otro dia en el congelador para que tome el aspecto de helado que conocemos, no es un platillo tan rápido, pero la recompensa es sin duda muy buena, y la infinidad de recetas más. El tazón viene bien empacado y con un recetario con las más básicas, pero en los canales de la marca puedes encontrar mucho más.Excelente como todo lo de kitchenaidMarch Cano
