Soft serve at best is what this unit does

In a half hour you end up with a soft serve ice cream that tastes just like the real thing

I can't complain about having to freeze the bowl, nor is it intolerable that soft-serve is my result

The consitancy is a little harder than soft serve

After several tries, finally got some soft serve slush you could potentially call ice cream

We chose to make it the day before we wanted to serve it to ensure the proper consistency, but you wouldn't have to necessarily if you don't mind more of a soft-serve consistency

This does make soft serve, like you would get at dairy queen, so if you want harder ice cream, just freeze in it a sealable feezer safe container for a hour or 2.

you can go from zero to enjoying excellent soft serve in about 30 minutes

If, after 20 or 30 minutes your ice cream isn't as thick as you'd like it (it comes out soft-serve for me), press "off", remove the dome lid and clean off the churn with a spatula

The consistency will be a melted soft serve.

I was pleasantly surprised when after about 25-30 minutes of spinning I got ice cream that was about the consistency of soft serve.

It churns the ice cream until it's soft serve consistency (I knew it would turn out that way

I LOVE soft-serve

As others have stated, it never fully froze...didnt even get to a soft serve consistency.

If it looks like soft serve but you want it to be harder, transfer the ice cream to another container, cover it, and put it in the freezer

In 20 minutes you have creamy soft serve in the flavor du jour; freeze it to your liking.

The unit works well and within 15 minutes I had a nice batch of soft serve

As soon as it begins to look like a soft serve, without any glossy or liquid texture, then you can turn off the maker, although it does include a feature in which it will cease to turn after the ice cream is at a certain hardness

It will be soft serve, but if you want something firmer about 2 hours in the freezer after mixing should do it

The ice cream comes out soft serve, but if you will freeze for a few hours it comes out hard just like store bought

In 20-25 minutes, you have soft-serve ice cream.

and it's firmer than soft serve.

It makes a soft-serve type of ice cream which I love, but if you like yours harder, you can just put it in the freezer for awhile

Ice cream doesn’t get super hard, more like soft serve

I had soft serve ice cream in about 25 min's after following the easy instructions

I will sometimes put a milk/orange juice/yogurt/fruit mixture in it to make a nice morning soft serve smoothie

Sometimes my mix hasn't been completely chilled but it still freezes to a soft serve consistency in about 20 min

It will be a soft serve consistency

I put this soft serve mixture into a plastic container and placed it in the freezer to ripen.

It's a soft-serve consistency right out of the machine, which I like, and tastes so good it's difficult not to eat it all right away

If you use the ice cream as soon as it is finished it is like a soft serve.

since the bowl was totally frozen & the ingredients were quite cold, i was able to make two batches of ice cream, one after the other, without refreezing the bowl in between.having taken all these measures, i was able to make ice cream that was a pleasant soft serve right out of the machine, & quite firm after a night of tempering in the freezer.if you simply follow the instructions in the manufacturer manual, you may get disappointing results

In 20 minutes you have creamy soft serve in the flavor du jour; freeze it to your liking.

this time my ice cream was still getting thicker after a half hour, it was thicker than soft serve.

I was expecting to wait at least 30 min, but it was soft serve ready in about 20 minutes

Everything has to be extremely cold, (I freeze the bowl with a plastic bag of ice in it), and don't forget that your ice cream will be a soft-serve texture when it is done, and needs several hours to ripen

so i would recommend eating immediately or thawing out until you're able to stir it and eat soft-serve.

It was like wonderful soft serve in the middle of the bowl.

Ice Cream is "soft serve" ready in 30 minutes.

Often of a soft serve consistency until frozen, but this thing is so easy to clean & use, I love it!

a nice soft serve after the inital 30 minutes.....for firmer ice cream some time in the freezer is needed.

It's not exactly a soft-serve consistency, but it's closer to that

This does make soft serve, like you would get at dairy queen, so if you want harder ice cream, just freeze in it a sealable feezer safe container for a hour or 2.

At this point the ice cream is the consistency of soft-serve.

As others have mentioned, everything must be super cold and even then ... the ice cream will be more like soft-serve.

When you first make the ice cream, it is a little like soft serve.

For most of the recipes I've tried, this machine produces ice-cream of a consistency akin to soft serve.

I altered ingredients to cut some fat and the ice cream is ready is about 30 minutes, soft serve.

Note that what you first end up with is more soft serve which we really

Freeze the bowl (at least 6 hours in our freezer), put in the ingredients, turn it on, and in about 30 minutes you have a frozen confection with the consistency of soft serve

At 30 minutes it is more like a soft-serve consistency (also good)3

Cleanup is very easy, and the ice cream is comparable to soft serve when you're first done making it or you can freeze it for an hour or two if you want it to be more solid.

WHen the ice cream is done it is soft, consistency but after being in the freezer a few hours its perfectly scoopable, though we like to eat the soft serve when it's ready and the next day scoop out ice cream for cones :

It's like having fresh soft serve.

For a soft serve texture it can be served right away or soon after it's placed in the freezer; for a hard ice cream, two hours in the freezer is usually sufficient

The best we could come up with was a very runny soft-serve that could not be scooped.

In 20 minutes you can have "soft serve" and with a two hour wait for ripening you can have "hard" ice cream

20-30 minutes later, the ice cream comes out like soft serve, which is great, but you can pour it into a freezer container and firm it up if you'd like, (which I did because it was for a birthday party later in the day).

It produces only a VERY soft serve

It's very easy to use and produced perfect ice cream the first time (home-style soft serve right after mixing - - hard, ice crystal-free after curing for 2-3 hrs in freezer).

In doing both of these things, I've found I've been able to create soft serve ice cream, which I then freeze for a couple of hours for a hard serve

The ice cream is just like soft serve

Also, when the batch is done it is the consistency of soft-serve

I have tried to make 5 batches of ice cream so far and the results have ranged from VERY SOFT soft serve to cold soup (and I did follow the special instructions: bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hrs, ingredients refrigerated for at least 24 hrs, no alcohol until the last 2 minutes, etc, etc).

I like to have my frozen yogurt in a "soft-serve" consistency which is great when it is fresh out of the machine

I have found that if I take the frozen yogurt out of the freezer and put it into the refrigerator for about 4 hours it is soft serve again

After the time was up, I put the (pretty creamy soft serve type) ice cream into a plastic bowl, covered with plastic wrap and the lid, and put it in the freezer

and it's still looking like soft-serve, get it right into a container and toss it in the freezer for a while before serving

In doing both of these things, I've found I've been able to create soft serve ice cream, which I then freeze for a couple of hours for a hard serve

I usually run the ice cream maker until the ice cream is too hard for it to easily stir, and then take the freezer bowl out, cover it with foil and put it back in the freezer to get extra hard before serving

I've used it 4-5 times already, and just like it claims, I had great soft-serve ice cream in 20 minutes.
