Equipment and Preparation
Before you start using the Kenwood Ice Cream Maker Attachment, make sure you have all the necessary equipment and ingredients ready. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:

Making the Ice Cream
Once you have prepared the ice cream mixture according to your desired recipe, it is time to use the Kenwood Ice Cream Maker Attachment to transform it into a delicious frozen treat.
Step 1: Freezing the Bowl
First, make sure that the bowl of your Kenwood Ice Cream Maker Attachment has been properly frozen. Place the bowl in your freezer for at least 24 hours before using it. It is important for the bowl to be completely frozen in order to achieve the desired consistency of the ice cream.
Step 2: Assembling the Attachment
Attach the frozen bowl to your Kenwood stand mixer by securing it onto the base. Make sure it is firmly in place before proceeding.
Step 3: Adding the Mixture
Pour the prepared ice cream mixture into the frozen bowl of the attachment. Be careful not to overfill the bowl, as the mixture will expand as it freezes. Leave some space at the top to allow for this expansion.
Step 4: Turning on the Mixer
Turn on your Kenwood stand mixer and select the appropriate speed setting for ice cream making. Start with a low speed and gradually increase it as needed. The mixer will churn the ice cream mixture, incorporating air and preventing the formation of ice crystals.
Step 5: Monitoring the Process
Keep an eye on the ice cream as it churns. The length of time required for the ice cream to reach the desired consistency will vary depending on the recipe and the specific attachment model you are using. This can range anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes. The ice cream should have a smooth and creamy texture when it is done.
Step 6: Serving and Storing
Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, stop the mixer and remove the attachment from the stand mixer. Use a spatula to transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container for storing. Place the container in the freezer for several hours or overnight to allow the ice cream to harden further before serving.
Now that you know how to use the Kenwood Ice Cream Maker Attachment, you can experiment with different flavours and recipes to create your own homemade ice cream creations. Enjoy!
Serving and Enjoying
Once your homemade ice cream is ready, it’s time to serve and enjoy it! Here are some tips to make the most of your Kenwood Ice Cream Maker Attachment:
Choosing the Right Dish
First, select the perfect dish or bowl to serve your ice cream. Opt for a bowl that is frozen beforehand to help keep your ice cream cold for longer. Choosing a shallow dish will also help your homemade ice cream freeze evenly.
Garnishing
Next, feel free to get creative with your garnishes! Sprinkle some colorful sprinkles, chocolate chips, or crushed nuts on top of your ice cream to add some texture and flavor. Fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas can also be a delightful addition.
Serving Size
Remember that homemade ice cream is generally richer and more decadent than store-bought versions. Consider smaller serving sizes to savor the flavors without overwhelming your taste buds. A few scoops in a small bowl or cone should be enough to satisfy your cravings.
Pairing with Desserts
If you’re feeling extra indulgent, you can elevate your ice cream experience by pairing it with other desserts. Serve a scoop of your homemade ice cream alongside a warm brownie, a slice of pie, or a freshly baked cookie for a combination that will delight your taste buds.
- Experiment with flavors to create interesting combinations.
- Try adding homemade sauces, like caramel or chocolate, for an extra decadent touch.
- Consider serving your ice cream with a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry on top for a classic finishing touch.
Now that you have mastered the art of making ice cream with your Kenwood Ice Cream Maker Attachment, it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your delicious creation!
