Ice Cream Flavors (Set of 4)

I got the quart size ball and we tried the vanilla ice cream recipe that comes with the ball, used heavy cream which came out very rich. The recipe book suggests a range of dairy/substitutes from soy milk to double cream. I used water softener salt since that is what I had on hand, it worked as a substitute for ice cream salt. We played with the ball for 40 minutes and it was frozen solid (it was difficult to unscrew the lid). A plastic or wooden scoop is recommended for getting the ice cream out. This ball is not meant for rough play (no bouncing, kicking, or dropping), it will damage the plastic shell that protects the liner. The chamber with ice and salt does get very cold! It needs to be disassembled (the rubber cover did get ice cream on it, comes off easily then slides back on), cleaned and let dry completely. The pamphlet recommends leaving the covers off the ball for storage. It was very nice to make ice cream using simple ingredients! I do wish it were made somewhere else than China.
