Homemade ice cream is the ultimate treat and the ultimate comfort food!

Ice cream's appeal is truly universal, and it delights all ages. And thanks to the many ice cream makers now on the market, it's easy to create an amazing variety of ice creams, granitas, sorbets, gelatos and ices that will satisfy in ways store-bought ice creams never could. When served to guests, homemade ice cream can be even more impressive than the fanciest cakes and tarts.
