Dash My Mug Ice Cream Maker Bundle, 2 Half-Pint Freezer Mugs, Aqua

I love this ice cream maker! It’s fast and not a big bulky thing that takes up a bunch of freezer space. It comes with 2 freezer mugs so when I use one I put the other in the freezer to be ready for the next time. Though it may be a negative for some, I love the size of the mug. It’s just enough for two people - or one if you really are an ice cream lover like me - and you can eat it right out of the mug. Clean up is a quick and easy. Another thing that some may not like (but I do) is that the consistency of the finished ice cream is similar to soft serve and if you want more of a hand packed consistency, you need to freeze it longer. I’m a soft serve person so it works well for me. It comes with a recipe booklet but the possibilities of use are endless. I freeze flavored ice milk mixes, juice, smoothies, yogurt, etc. and don’t feel guilty about my ice cream indulgence!

I love this ice cream maker. It not only works great it's the perfect size and easy to use and clean. I was hesitant to try it because of the negative reviews but I'm glad I didn't listen to those people and just gave it a try. I put very little effort into using it and it turned out great every time. Not sure why some people had problems with it or if it was just user error or inability to follow directions. But i found it super easy to use and very versatile. I put the mug/bowl in the freezer for 2 days first to make sure it was sufficiently cold. The first thing i made was simple vanilla ice cream using the recipe in the book (although i didn't even measure exact amounts, i just guessed and eyed it). Poured the milk/cream/sugar combo in and let it go for about 25 minutes. Poured in some chocolate syrup in at the end and had myself some yummy perfect chocolate ice cream. It was on the softer side which is how i prefer ice cream so it was perfect for me. Also i noticed if you eat out of the frozen bowl it stays cold longer and if you push the ice cream around to the sides as you're eating it, it continues to freeze and harden. Transferring it to a different container will only make it melt faster. The second thing i made was a fruit sorbet sort of thing. I did this last minute with no plan and it turned out great. It was super hot and i was making a fruit smoothie, then decided to pour my smoothie into the ice cream maker to see what would happen. It was literally just bereies, juice and a little milk. After 25 minutes this turned into a fruity iced treat that was super delicious and perfect on a 90 degree day. The next thing i tried was putting in yogurt mixed with milk and juice and this turned out as a creamy mix between ice cream and iced slushy. I'm amazed at all the different creations you can make with this thing and how simple it is to use. Also clean up is quick and easy which i like. Having 2 bowls seems like the best idea, especially for a single person, as you always have one in the freezer ready to use. This makes the perfect amount for one person but it can make enough for 2 even in one bowl. This is a great product especially for the price. Glad i didn't get one of those expensive ice cream makers that probably doesn't even work as well. If you have been wanting to make your own ice cream or iced/cold treats/concoctions, then give this a try. Don't listen to the negative reviews because this thing is awesome and works great! So glad I finally got one.

My wife and I have two grandchildren, and we’re always looking for fun things to do with them, because most kids like sweets, finding a product which entertains and educates while providing an end result which is tangible isn’t easy, so when I came across this simple ice cream maker, and read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. The set up is simple; clean the cups before freezing for 24 hours and clean the rotating paddle for future use. Before using the ice cream maker, you need to prepare the mixture and allow it to cool before using. Once everything is ready, pull out the mug from the freezer, place the paddle into the motorized top, and secure it to the mug before placing the ingredients into the ice cream maker. One thing I don’t like is the way ingredients are put into the tce cream machine…there’s a small opening to pour in the liquid ingredients, which is fine, however, putting in solid ingredients can be difficult. Breaking cookies and candies into small enough pieces to fit in the tiny opening produces tiny pieces in the finished ice cream, and trying to pour in non-liquid ingredients, like caramel or chocolate sauce, it gets messy. With that being said, when it’s time to turn off the ice cream machine and remove it from the mug, the results are a delicious “soft serve” ice cream in the mug. If you want it like the more frozen variety (to scoop or spoon), you’ll have to transfer the soft serve into a container (with lid), and place it in the freezer to harden. One thing which may make this easier is if they included lids for the mugs so no transfer would be necessary. If you want multiple flavors, you have to use the same mechanized top on the second cup, and repeat the process. Again, if you want a more solid product, once again you complete a transfer and place the second ice cream flavor into the freezer.If making for the grandkids, immediate gratification is almost always necessary, so after the 20 minute freezing process, they can dig in. Naturally, my wife and I had to test the ice cream maker before introducing the fun project to the kids. We prepared to mugs, we used the same ice cream base so two different flavors (vanilla and any other flavor, like chocolate or coffee flavored).and then chose different items to add to our mugs (crushed Oreos or Reeses Cups vs Caramel and ,I’m I Marshmallow). I prepared my wife’s first, and the product came out like soft serve with her desired additions, and when I was cleaning the top and paddle before pulling out the second mug before starting my preferred product, she tasted the ice cream and said “this is freaking delicious”. I transferred her ice cream into another container so she wouldn’t the whole thing and make her sick, then I made my choice and put it in the freezer once the churning process was completed. Mine came out amazing, as well. If this came with lids for the mugs I would give it five stars, but if that’s not a big issue, then the finished product deserves five stars..

I bought this as a gift for my in-laws and they have happily used it many times to make ice cream for themselves and as an activity to make ice cream with their grandkids. They've expressed that it has been easy to use/easy to clean, and freezes well. They have used it repeatedly so I know they enjoy using it, it isn't too complicated, and it works well. I've also tried the ice cream they've made and it was delicious an rich vanilla. I love that this set allows for the option to make two different flavors with the two cups. I don't think they have tried making multiple flavors yet, I know if my husband and I had these that we would both be experimenting with different flavors from the ingredients we have at home!

Small but mighty. Great single serve ice cream maker. With the one recipe I've tried so far it makes a little less than a cup, but to be honest the more I make, the more I'll eat. Definitely read the instructions prior to using it as they are helpful. Everything is pretty self explanatory and within 24hrs after opening I was eating soft serve ice creme. The 2nd pic is once it's finished (with marshmallows) so def. not ice creme consistency, which I don't mind. The only thing I would say is that the recipes themselves are a bit cumbersome for the qty of ice cream you are making. Just to make the chocolate one I needed to heat up two different sauce pans and at least 4 different small dishes to hold everything and a fine mesh strainer. The dishes piled up quickly so I'll probably make a few batches at at time to make it worthwhile and store in the fridge. All in all worth the money if you are big ice cream fan!

I have a Breville Ice Cream machine but after the first summer, i just couldnt bring myself to lug it out, especially because i dont really eat large portions of ice cream. This is perfect for myself and my husband. I make the batter and just put the whole machine in the freezer, not even worrying about prefreezing. Starting with a cold bowl and cold batter leads to as good results as my 450 dollar machine. Creamy without noticable ice crystals. However I use it ad hoc, often with hot batter from making starch thickened ice cream, and the texture is still decent. Honestly the only way this could be better is if they made it with stainless steel, because the nonstick coating scratches really easily, which makes me uneasy. Nonstick doesnt even help because the "sticking" problem comes from the edges freezing solid.

Not loving this so far. The Amazon Product Description says "Just freeze the base, add ingredients, and press the on button for a delectable snack in just 20 minutes." The instructions that come with the unit state that you need to assemble the unit, turn it on, then add the the ingredients through the chute. I am trying to make frozen yogurt and it is quite messy trying to feed the yogurt mixture through that tiny slot. I'm having fun experimenting with different recipes but overall this is not a great purchase. Wish I would have read the product instruction PDF online before buying and not gone by the description.

Works great. No real mess,easy to use. We love the size because on larger models you have no real choice of making small amounts. With this you can make small quantities and then make another flavor, simple and easy.

Really like this little unit, made the mango sorbet first and it was very good. It does take time. If you have the time it's worth it.

So annoying. Keeps stopping every 2/3 minutes. The machine is too hot for it to start again. When it starts again, it stops 2/3 minutes later again!

Bought as a gift to help with the reality of moving to a small town with no grocery store 😂. Works as described. Color was perfect. Individual portion size. Makes a nice SOFT serve type ice cream

I received a My Mug Ice Cream Maker as a Christmas present. Within short order, I made strawberry ice cream, and mango and lemon sorbets. All were delicious and very easy to make. I actually found that with the sorbet, one mug made two large scoops (tho’ maybe I added more mixture than suggested?). Note that a couple of hours or so in the freezer is required for a firm consistency. As I love the occasional ice cream but we are not close to ice cream shops or grocery stores, I am really happy to have the Dash on hand.

Overall very nice to use. Nice clean pretty color. Got two bowls so I can share. Very easy to use. Great for one or two people.
