best. ice. cream. ever.

We tried out the ice cream maker. At first we were taken back by the fact that you had to freeze the bowl -- for 15 hours minimum. Then you made the mix. The mix Beka chose to make first had to chill for 7 hours minimum. Then you had to let the mixer run for 30 minutes. Finally, the ice cream had to be put in the freezer for 5-6 hours.

It seemed like an awfully long time to wait for ice cream when we could just as well buy it at the grocery.

But Beka followed all the directions and decided to let the mixer run while she was getting ready for work -- then it could freeze again while we were both at work and be ready by the end of our long days.

So Beka set it up and then went to get ready. She realized 30 minutes had elapsed and upon checking the mixer found the fluffiest most amazing soft serve she had ever tasted. Absolutely incredible.

It was still fluffy and fantastic by day's end. This really is the best ice cream Beka has ever had and she's kinda an aficionado.
