If you've been thinking about investing in an ice cream machine, consider this your sign. But hurry, it's only a matter of time before the price jumps back up to $70. Not only does the Cuisinart 1.5-Quart Ice Cream Maker have an under-$50 price tag, but it also has the seal of approval from Jeni Britton, a James Beard Award-Winning ice cream maker and the founder of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. In fact, Britton used a previous version of this model to create recipes for her cookbook Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home, which features 100 different mouthwatering ice cream recipes, including Goat Cheese with Roasted Cherries.

The machine is fully automatic with the simple press of a button, unlike hand crank ice cream makers that require continuous work for what can seem like hours. With that said, this model is an excellent choice for all ages to get involved in the ice cream-making process. 25 Amazon Prime Day Kitchen Deals That You'll Never Guess Are Under $25 The ice cream maker consists of four parts: a double-insulated freezer bowl, a mixing paddle, a cover, and a base. The double-insulated bowl can make up to about 6 cups of ice cream, and it easily fits into most freezers where it will need to chill for about 16 hours once the mixture is ready. Our favorite part about the bowl is that it eliminates the need for ice, so the ice cream's consistency will be extra creamy. When preparing your frozen dessert, whether it be frozen yogurt, ice cream, or sorbet, you can add mix-ins, like chocolate chips and fruit, through the opening of the cover lid. No matter if you plan on celebrating National Ice Cream Day or not, this machine is sure to be put to good use for birthdays, holiday parties, backyard barbecues, and beyond. At its lowest price of the year, the expert- and editor-loved Cuisinart ice cream maker is a true Prime Day bargain.
