Ice cream might not be the first dessert you think of in late fall, but there is no bad season for frozen treats. Our favorite ice cream maker is now available for 180 dollars as part of Black Friday sales. This kitchen gadget, which received a high score in our review, is sure to make you a hit with guests during the holidays. At 50 dollars off its regular 250 dollar price, this is the lowest cost we have seen for this model all year, making it a great time to purchase. While you will need some counter space for it, the Creami is more compact than many other ice cream machines. It functions similarly to a food processor, but it is designed to work with a strictly frozen liquid ice cream base. You will need to freeze your base for about 24 hours to get the right consistency. After that, you use the Ninja machine to blend in your chosen flavors. Cleanup is straightforward, as most of the parts are dishwasher safe. The machine is admittedly quite loud when in operation. However, if you can tolerate the noise, you have access to seven one-touch programs, including a setting for milkshakes. For those hosting guests with food allergies, this appliance offers complete control over the ingredients, which is a level of assurance that is difficult to get when ordering dessert at a restaurant. This particular model comes with two pint containers and their lids. If you are looking for the most advanced model, the Ninja Swirl is the ice cream maker to consider. It can prepare both regular and soft-serve ice cream, along with several other frozen desserts. Currently, QVC is offering it for 280 dollars, down from its usual 350 dollar price, which is the best deal we have found for it.
