There is nothing quite like having some cold ice cream during the sweltering summer heat, and with the Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you don’t have to go all out to purchase a tub since you can make your own ice cream yourself.

With the unique Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you can make ice cream anywhere! Simply add ice and rock salt into the outer chamber and ice cream mix into the inner, then have a ball as you shake it, pass it or roll it! Who would have thought soft serve ice cream makers could be so much fun! The ice cream forms when you roll the ball around. The consistency of your home made ice cream will depend on the ingredients, the ice and salt mix, the outside temperature and shaking frequency. If it’s not quite right, pop the lid back on and roll the Ice Cream Ball around for a few more minutes. Your ice cream mix can be as basic as cream, sugar and vanilla, or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, you can tempt your taste buds with more ambitious flavors, such as Cookies and Cream or Mint Choc Chip. So, if you’re out of ice cream when things heat up, make your own ice cream at home and serve it with your favorite toppings.

Darn it, why didn’t they have these when I was a kid? That way, I wouldn’t have to sneak behind my mom’s back to get some ice cream. You can pick up this delicious device from Gizoo for £19.95.
