Shoppers are celebrating the Lakeland Digital Ice Cream Maker, now priced at £39.99 as part of a limited-time sale, calling it a 'little belter' for crafting homemade frozen desserts. Originally £44.99, the device is available from May 19 to May 27, offering families an engaging kitchen activity.
Fast and Fun Frozen Treats
The machine churns out ice cream, sorbets, and frozen yoghurts in just 40 minutes, allowing users to create treats from scratch with full control over ingredients. A transparent lid lets you watch the mixture, while a digital LED display simplifies timing. The bowl must be frozen for 12 hours beforehand; then, you pour in ingredients and the paddle does the work. Add chocolate chips or fresh fruit mid-mix for variety.
What's Included and Features
The maker comes with seven starter recipes and an anti-slip base for stability. Lakeland describes it as compact and user-friendly, ideal for beginners. For a premium option, the Ninja CREAMI Scoop and Swirl 13-in-1 is available for £299.99 (down from £349.99) on Shark's website, claiming to transform almost anything into ice cream or soft serve. Yimbly also offers the CASO Design Icecream 5-in-1 for £219.99 (reduced from £279.99), which makes two litres without pre-freezing.
Shopper Reviews
On Amazon, one reviewer called it a 'little belter', saying: 'Wow, what a great machine - churned a lovely healthy ice cream in it. Great price and also the Lakeland 3-year guarantee. A big little machine. Easy to clean.' Another on Lakeland's site commented: 'Made vanilla ice cream today and it turned out perfect, money well spent.' A third added: 'So easy to use and clean. The freezer is now full of various flavours. Highly recommend.'
Some minor criticisms emerged: one buyer noted the ingredient hole is too small, rating it 4 stars. Another said the only hassle is freezing the bowl for 12 hours, but overnight works better.
