It's a KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment for our stand mixer. And in a word, it ROCKS! All you do is freeze the bowl for a day or so, then you're ready to make a homemade batch of heaven. No rock salt required. For ease, we store ours in the freezer so we can make ice cream whenever the craving hits us. (I say us. Usually, it's just me.)Here's our favorite recipe for homemade vanilla ice cream, which has been adapted from allrecipes.com.

2 t. vanilla extract
1/8 t. salt
2 t. vanilla extract

This sounds amazing, but I honestly don't know if I could wait 6 whole hours to eat it, at least without going to the grocery store for Ben and Jerry's!
