    Ice Cream in 3 Minutes? See for yourself.

    Over the past couple of months, several people emailed to tell me their kids want them to buy ICE CREAM MAGIC, the device “as seen on TV”. They asked if I could please buy one to see if it works. Well, I bought one, and it does work; kind of. There are a lot of steps involved, as you’ll see in my video. In the commercial they throw in ice cubes, but in the instructions, they say ‘crushed ice’ is best. You also need heavy whipping cream, sugar, flavoring, etc. They stress that everything has to cold. The big disappointment in most reviews I read is that you’re making only about 3 ounces of ‘soupy’ – or if you a vivid imagination – ‘soft serve’ ice cream. The whole process will probably take about 10 to 12 minutes, and you have to shake the container continuously for at least 3 minutes. The company recommends additional shaking to make your ice cream firmer. It seems like a lot of work and expense when ice cream on sale can be inexpensive. Also in some of the shots in the commercial, you see a heaping scoop of ice cream. How can that happen? But the kids just might find it fun. Be sure to read the reviews on Amazon. Lots of people have hints on how to get better results using ICE CREAM MAGIC. And be aware, out of 69 reviews, it only averaged 2 stars out of 5 stars. I paid about $12.50 at the link below. It was on Amazon Prime, so it was shipped free quickly.
