In partnership with Walmart

Summer gatherings just got so much more fun.

I’ve been trying to think of hands-on summer fun for my girls, so I checked out the summer kitchen appliances at Walmart Home. There are so many fun appliances to help entertain this summer and enjoy family gatherings: popcorn poppers, slushy drink makers, fancy coffee machines, air fryers. Yum! I kept coming back to this Cuisinart ice cream maker. The fact that it comes in all these cute colors? Pink… I was sold. I got ice cream bowls, pinch bowls, and toppings, all for a great price.

Of course, my girls love ice cream. But the one who loves ice cream the most also happens to be sensitive to dairy, which is no fun when choices are limited. So I knew she’d be the most excited.

When they saw the ice cream bar all laid out… I. Underestimated. The. Excitement.

Making ice cream at home sounds like a lot of work but not with this ice cream maker. Just freeze the inner metal bowl overnight. Blend your ice cream ingredients. Pour into the ice cream maker while it’s turning and let it churn for about 15-20 minutes. It’s lovely soft-serve consistency at that point, though you can freeze it for another 1-2 hours if you’d like.

This super creamy non-dairy strawberry ice cream was loved by all. Honestly, a cute array of toppings will take you far! So be sure to pick up some pinch bowls because these are the best size. Non dairy fam: definitely try some cashew butter to amp up the creaminess of non-dairy ice cream. We’re going to try this peanut butter chocolate ice cream recipe next.
