Stacey Solomon's 'incredibly easy' ice cream maker is £100 off

With the school holidays in sight, whipping up homemade ice cream is a fun activity to do with young children this summer. It's ideal for days when it's too hot for lively adventures or special occasions like birthdays and parties.

Stacey Solomon has been raving about an ice maker on her Instagram stories, which is easy to use and is currently on sale. Stacey revealed her new must-have kitchen gadget, the Cuisinart Frost Fusion, which whips up all manner of frozen delights in under 30 minutes.

It can make everything from ice creams to slushies during warm spells, and even iced cocktails for adults. Luckily, the Cuisinart Frost Fusion has been reduced by £100, dropping from £299.99 to £199.99.

On her Instagram stories, Stacey demonstrated just how effortless it was to create soft serve ice creams for her family using the Cuisinart Frost Fusion, writing: "It's so much easier than the other one. I made the most basic ice cream sugar and milk mix in the booklet it came from, and it tastes SO GOOD."

She also outlined some of the machine's advantages and drawbacks, remarking: "I still think it's expensive, but it's easy" and acknowledging that it does occupy a considerable amount of worktop space. She also wrote: "The plain vanilla recipe that I tried was so simple and came out perfect," the Mirror reports.

Stacey's story on the Cuisinart Frost Fusion is saved as a Story Highlight in the Heatwave Links category on her Instagram page. The Cuisinart Frost Fusion comes with a recipe book packed full of inspiration, covering everything from ice cream flavours to frozen beverages and cocktails.

The device can whip up soft serve ice cream, slushies, sorbets, frappes and frosés. It has a 1.6-litre capacity and makes your chosen treats in as little as 30 minutes, with no pre-freezing required.

It uses a straightforward four-step process, making it easy to operate. It also has a mess-free design, ensuring cleaning up afterwards doesn't take all the fun out of it for grown-ups.

The Cuisinart Frost Fusion also features an automatic keep cool function, maintaining soft serve at the perfect temperature for up to 30 minutes. It also keeps frozen drinks chilled for up to 16 hours.
