For Father's Day 6 yrs. ago we bought my husband a 6 qt.(also come in 4 qt.)electric White Mountain Ice Cream freezer and we love it. It makes the creamiest ice cream because the beaters run at a faster speed than most of the other less expensive brands. My husband was employed making ice cream when we got married, so he is very picky about his ice cream and he sure does love this maker, often suggests making it for family get together. There are many recipes that come with it, but we prefer starting with "Junket Ice Cream Mix", a product found in the pudding isle at the local grocery store and adding whipping cream and milk. Many great family times have been enjoyed around this freezer.
