A close up of a piece of cake on a plateTo say that I’m excited about this giveaway doesn’t even come close to expressing the level of excitement I’m sharing with you today. A couple weeks ago, I came home to a surprise delivery on my doorstep. The fabulous people at Sur La Table had shipped me a brand new Breville® Smart Scoop™ Ice Cream Compressor! Sur La Table has been my favorite kitchen store for over ten years now and just seeing their package sitting on my porch was enough to make me grin.

I have a well-established love for homemade ice creams and this beautiful machine has been on my dream wish list for a very long time. This is the ultimate ice cream maker and after playing with it for just a week, it has already earned a place of honor on my kitchen counter. I’ll be sharing new recipes for frozen treats all week long in honor of this fabulous machine!

I’ve made no less than NINE batches of ice cream since this baby arrived at my house. When I first researched this machine a couple years ago, I imagined that it would be impressive. When I set it up and starting using it, I fully expected to be impressed. After testing it with traditional custard ice creams, ice milks, frozen yogurt, gelato and sorbet, I am confident in telling you that there is nothing this amazing machine can not handle.

Ice Cream and Ice creamHere are just a few of the reasons why I absolutely LOVE this machine:

You can choose from 12 settings, from super soft serve ice cream, to extra firm. At the highest level, the ice cream is SCOOPABLE straight out of the machine! I’m in heaven. Instead of making ice cream and then putting it in the freezer and waiting hours for it to be firm enough to scoop, you can serve it straight from the machine. In less than an hour, the ice cream maker produces ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato and sorbet in the consistency of your choosing. You can actually churn ice cream firm enough to make ice cream sandwiches straight out of the machine!

A close up of a cakeThe machine automatically senses the hardness of the mixture and keeps it ready until serving time. It will keep churning the ice cream just enough to
maintain the perfect consistency for up to three hours after it has finished!

Yet another reason why I love this machine, there is no bowl to freeze. There is no ice required. Everything you need is contained in the machine itself. When you are ready to make ice cream, simply pour your prepared mixture into the bowl and press start! No planning in advance, no 24 hours chill time for the bowl. It is now dangerously easy to make ice cream at home. The only thing taking up extra space in my freezer is all of the ice cream I just can’t stop making now. Oh, and in case you haven’t already figured this out, because there is no bowl to freeze, you can make batch after batch after batch… yeah, I figured that out really fast. I can make enough ice cream for a crowd in just a few hours!

When I spoke with Sur la lable to tell them how impressed I was with the machine, I told them that I would love to give away one of these machines to my readers. Sur la table agreed to send a Breville® Smart Scoop™ Ice Cream Compressor to the lucky winner just in time for your 4th of July celebration! (This is a prize worth $545!)

    My favorite, praline pecan….but I found another way of making it with goat's milk now that my daughter has goats. Never did I think it could be so good!

    Black Raspberry is my absolute favorite! I grew up in a small town in Pa. where every summer was spent picking these delicious berries near our home. We would then turn these berries into freezer jams, jellies and cobblers! I would love to own a Breville® Smart Scoop™ Ice Cream Compressor!

    my favorite dessert flavor … that is so hard! I love key lime pie … but usually for ice cream I just want chocolate. Dark chocolate ice cream that was creamy would be the bomb!

    My favorite summer dessert flavor is Fredericksburg, TX Free-Stone Peaches.
    That is best and coldest ice cream I have ever eaten straight out of the freezer in a paper cup with family and friends. I asked my neighbor for her recipe and she said she didn't have one. But it was consistently good every summer. If I won this machine I would be forced to take a trip to Fredericksburg to get peaches.

    I can't wait to see all your ice cream recipes!

    An Ice cream Maker has been on my wish list since your last "day of ice cream" posts! I love ice cream but the dairy does not (and sadly ice cream is usually not in the grocery budget) 🙁 but being able to make dairy free ice creams and sorbets at home sounds a little bit like heaven. Mary, you rock!!! thanks for great recipes, beautiful spirit and the chance to win amazing gifts. congratulations on your new tool! 🙂 I know you will spoil your family rotten, as usual, have a blessed day! ~mia

    I am DYING over this giveaway–this ice cream maker sounds amazing! My favorite flavor is definitely mint chocolate chip. When I make it at home, I use fresh mint which gives it such a different, refreshing flavor!

    I remember helping my dad as a child make home-made icecream in the old salt and ice machine…he would use the cream on top of the un-homogenized milk and my favorite back then was
    Banana…I had to turn the crank…seemed like it took forever….peach was pretty darn good also….

    Who does not love ice cream? I have fond memories of making it with my Grandmother with her old churn style maker. The hours spent churning were always well rewarded with the best ice cream I have ever tasted! When having to choose a favorite flavor it's difficult. However, picking ripe peaches off her tree and using them for ice cream is on the tops of my list! If I win this machine it will be the first batch I make <3

    I love Mocha Almond Fudge! This flavor always brings me back to when I was a kid having a special treat at Baskin Robbins, where I discovered this wonderful ice cream. I've played around with a few home-made versions of it using simple, electric ice cream makers, and for the most part, I've got it down, flavor-wise. But, the texture part…I'm still working on it. I'm sure this Breville machine would instantly fix the texture issue 😉

    I love Butter Pecan but with three kids I am always buying multiple kinds of ice cream to satisfy everyone. Having an ice cream maker would sure save me some money.

    Strawberry is my favorite. When I was little, I would sit out in Dad's garden and eat and eat and eat them until I made myself allergic! True Story! Had to avoid eating them for a couple of years after that, or else my face would break out in hives. I never gave up my love for them! Thanks 🙂

    Toss up… Salted caramel or simple strawberry. But I have been eating home made ice cream since I was a kid (back when the dinosaurs rolled down I-70) so I love any flavor! 🙂 In fact I just borrowed my dads old machine this weekend to make some for my kids birthday party! The poor old thing is about 35 years old and still making it as good as it did when I was a kid! Not sure how it has not wore out yet.

    Chocolate/Chocolate Chip, probably frozen yogurt. It's really hard to pick a true favorite flavor since I have probably liked any and all flavors of ice cream that I have tried.

    Ashby's makes a Cherry Amaretto flavor, that I found once on vacation many years ago (and ate it everyday of that vacation). I have not been able to find it since, but it still remains my absolute favorite. Maybe I can now make my own!

    I am typing this again and hope it wont disappear again. I would love to win this for my son and daughter in law. MY son is allergic to all dairy products and having a nice frozen dessert more often would be a real treat for him/them. This would allow him to make a myriad of sorbet flavors, raspberry is his present favorite, and also do things year round. There are quite a few non dairy frozen products on the market but not all are particularly good. I hope we have luck on this one and i thank you for your consideration.

    My favorite flavor is anything related to CHOCOLATE!! I would love to win this. It looks wonderful. I really, really like the idea of not having to squeeze a bowl into my freezer a day before I make ice cream. Thanks for doing this giveaway!

    Oh my…the flavors I would make if I won this. I don't have room in my freezer to keep a cylinder frozen so this sounds perfect! I've been looking at some infusions and I am planning to try making a banana rum. That would make an awesome ice cream flavor, I'm sure. And love peaches or strawberries & cream. Or a creamy coconut with maybe some pieces of dark chocolate. Endless possibilities!
