I remember the first time I made homemade ice cream. My hand ached from prolonged cranking, but the ice cream I made tasted better than any I could get at the store or local shops. That was back in the 70s.

Today, you’ll find several electric ice cream makers on the makers on the market. White Mountain Company offers both the electric and old-fashioned hand crank machines, handcrafted in pine to create a sense of tradition. The hand crank machine will produce ultrasmooth ice cream or yogurt in 40 minutes, while the electric machine will take you 20 minutes.

If you’ve never made ice cream before and are curious as to how it’s done, check out the instructional video on how to make strawberry ice cream.
