Homemade ice cream is an absolute luxury, but remembering to prep it makes the excitement disappear fast. Most at-home machines require you to prep anywhere from hours to a whole night before and if this proves to be a constant barrier between you and a big scoop of ice cream, then ProBreeze’s new machine could make things a lot easier.

Priced at £169.99, the latest ice cream maker doesn’t require any pre-freezing, meaning you can make a frozen treat right away when the craving strikes, rather than having to plan ahead.

And it’s not just for ice cream. The machine is designed to make everything from slushies and frappés to milkshakes, margaritas and frozen cocktails, making it a little more versatile than your standard ice cream maker.

It could be an interesting alternative to the ever-popular Ninja creami. While the creami has become a go-to for homemade ice cream, you need to freeze your ingredients in advance before you can get churning. ProBreeze’s new machine works differently, making your chosen frozen treat right in the machine.

So, if you’re craving a quick summer slushy to cool down, a homemade dessert or a frozen cocktail with friends, this could be a handy addition to your kitchen.

The ProBreeze ice cream maker has seven pre-set modes for making ice cream, slushies, frappés, milkshakes, margaritas and frozen cocktails, with no pre-freezing required. It also has five texture settings, so you can adjust the consistency to your liking. ProBreeze’s ‘vertifold’ technology is designed to create smooth, fluffy textures. Plus, a built-in cleaning cycle makes tidying up easier, which is always an added bonus.
