ice-cream-magic-makerIce Cream Magic is a quick and easy way to make any flavor ice cream you like in way less than five minutes. If you’re tired of spending too much money at the local ice cream shop, and are ready to make your own, healthy ice cream in the comfort of your own home or even on the road, then this is the product for you. From vanilla, chocolate and strawberry to endless other combinations, this isn’t just a tasty treat but hours of entertainment for friends and family.

My kids love ice cream. I know many people think of this creamy confection as a summertime treat, but twelve months out of the year, my three children ask for ice cream nearly every night. We’ve recently gone on a budget due to cut-backs at my husband’s government job, and Ice Cream Magic has made it so much easier for us to trim down on expenses while amping up our enjoyment. Even if we were millionaires, I’d still love my Ice Cream Magic…but I’d probably buy a few more.

My Experience With the Ice Cream Magic

Most families are not only cutting back these days, but are also trying to eat healthier. Ice Cream Magic provides the opportunity for both. Not only is this kitchen tool refreshing, delicious and cost-effective, but it also lets you satisfy your sweet tooth with homemade, wholesome products that you select yourself. It’s an amazingly easy and fun way to make ice cream at home, while promoting healthy eating.

Not only will you have fun making Ice Cream Magic with your kids, but this great product also delivers a high-tech science experiment, letting your kids participate in the fun that happens when you combine just ice, water, salt and the flavor(s) of your choice. It takes less than three minutes and three simple steps for these four basic ingredients to transform into delicious ice cream–even more delicious because you made it yourself.

My daughter insisted on having an Ice Cream Magic party for her sixth birthday. I was a little worried I’d end up doing all the work, but she and the five friends she invited loved doing it themselves. I put out a spread of fresh fruit pieces and candy treats, and they loved mixing up and naming their own unique ice cream flavors–Rebekah’s Rocking Raspberry was my personal favorite. I tried to stick with low fat, sugar-free or low sugar add-ins, so I could report back to the other moms about our healthy ice cream party. I had purchased the Party Pack with the hopes of using it for events and gatherings, and I wasn’t wrong.

Thanks to the promotion at the website, it came with six portable cones and six portable spoons, so each girl got one of her own. If your needs are less, you can go with the Standard Pack, which comes with two of each. Both the Party Pack and the Standard Pack come with a convenient recipe guide to get your started. There was a whole lot of shaking going on that day, believe me. They all loved the ice cream, of course, but the shaking part was pretty fun, too.

We travel a lot, and my kids always want ice cream every night–particularly at the beach. It can get so expensive to buy ice cream for a family of five every night. Not to mention that there are usually long lines around the block at the local ice cream stands, and my 5-year-old is still not very good at waiting in line. Now we just make our own in the comfort of our own hotel or rental unit, and everyone is just as happy, if not more so. The Ice Cream Magic is compact, and fits right in our luggage. When we are headed out of town, one of my kids invariably comes running up with the the Ice Cream Magic so we don’t forget it.

If you’re anything like me, you live in fear of kid-created kitchen mess. Because of Ice Cream Magic’s convenient one-bowl design, clean up is a snap.

You can’t beat the deals currently being offered at the website. The Standard Pack comes with a Vanilla Cone shaker and a bonus Chocolate Cone shaker for just $14.99, plus shipping and handling. They also throw in the spoons in chocolate and vanilla, as well as the special gift of the Ice Cream Magic recipe book–totally free. The Party Pack includes TWO each of Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry for only $39.99, plus shipping and handling, as well as six spoons, along with the free recipe book.

My Overall Review

ice-cream-magicPros:

  • So affordable, especially compared to ice cream stand prices
  • Healthy, thanks to sugar-free and fat-free options
  • You know exactly what you are getting, by choosing your own fresh and/or organic and chemical-free ingredients
  • A fun activity the whole family can do together

Cons:

  • The portions this produces are on the small size, but definitely more in line with what the USDA recommends in terms of a serving size. No to mention, it’s always fun to make more…and change up the flavor in the process.
  • Sometimes your arms get tired from shaking for a couple of minutes, but my kids don’t mind and I consider it a great upper arm workout.
