Stacey Solomon's New Favourite Gadget
The TV presenter and influencer demonstrated how effortless it was to create soft serve ice creams for her family using the Cuisinart Frost Fusion. She wrote: 'It's so much easier than the other one. I made the most basic ice cream sugar and milk mix in the booklet it came from, and it tastes SO GOOD.'
She also outlined some advantages and drawbacks, remarking: 'I still think it's expensive, but it's easy' and acknowledging that it does occupy a considerable amount of worktop space. She added: 'The plain vanilla recipe that I tried was so simple and came out perfect,' according to the Mirror.

Customer Reviews
In the Amazon reviews for the Cuisinart Frost Fusion, a pleased user wrote: 'This is a fantastic piece of kit. We have already made slushies, frappés, and ice cream with excellent results, and cocktails are next on the list. It is incredibly easy to use and clean, and I would highly recommend this product.'
Some people noted drawbacks about the consistency of the ice cream, as one shopper pointed out: 'We are loving our homemade ice cream. As others have said, it's a little softer than I would like, but I will try adjusting the sugar to see if it helps.' A third shopper reported a better experience, writing: 'Absolutely fantastic! So easy to use. Incredibly simple and quick to clean. No pre-prep, just mix your recipe and pour it in, 30 minutes, and you have your ice cream or cocktail.'
Someone else commented: 'Did someone say frozen margaritas. This has taken hosting dinner guests to a new level. On-demand frozen cocktails, what a time to be alive. I'm yet to try the ice-cream function, but plan to use that as the PG version when we need to.'
