The built-in freezer means there’s no need to pre-freeze the mixing bowl, which makes prep time much easier. It works its magic by grinding up frozen fruit, then churning them out in frosty, fruity ribbons ready to eat. This means that somewhere on the item small scratches or blemishes may be visible and the boxes may be tatty or non original and will have been opened and re-taped so that items can be tested. Now you can switch on your machine and add your ice cream mix using the handy chute – the ice cream maker must be switched on before you add your mix to prevent it from freezing on the inside of the inner bowl.

Most of the ice creams we’ve been experimenting with contain sugar – but I’m testing out some new recipes that have reduced sugar, or even sugar alternatives. Another useful feature was that the paddle has some tolerance where it joined to the power unit, so there was no need to worry about the ice cream becoming too firm. The machine was a little noisy in operation – while it wasn’t loud (it generates around 65dB, which is between the level of normal conversation and laughter), the sound itself was noticeable.

Remove the inner bowl from the freezer and put it into the outer bowl, and lower the assembled lid/power unit/paddle into the bowl before turning it clockwise to lock into position. The ice cream may only be partly frozen at this stage and so will need immediate assistance from a freezer. The contrast between the clattering, crunchy chocolate chips and the smooth, velvety, vanilla ice cream simply creates one of the best ice creams I have tasted so far. If you have a maker without a built in freezer try and always keep the ice cream bowl in the freezer so that it is always ready.It’s a good idea to take the ice cream out of the freezer every 30 minutes or so to give it a good stir and get rid of any ice crystals that might have formed. This is an easy to use ice cream maker that requires you to freeze the bowl for eight hours prior to use, but there's only one bowl so you can only make one batch at a time. However, for the budget-conscious and space-saver, the Andrew James Ice Cream Maker Machine stands out as an excellent choice.

Ice cream is something that can be enjoyed all year round, but it arguably tastes better when the sun’s shining. Don’t use anything abrasive to clean it or you’ll scrape it (the same goes for utensils, don’t use metal items to scoop the ice cream out).It also is the perfect accompaniment for a sweet treat, such as my Vanilla Fudge Chocolate Brownies. The only time this has happened to me was when I put a mixture in that wasn’t chilled enough – it meant the paddle had to work longer to try and get it to a thicker consistency.
