Ice Cream Magic™ Review
I am guessing most of you have seen a product called Ice Cream Magic™ on television ads. My kids were so excited to try this product and I received one in exchange for an honest review.
Ice Cream Magic™ is a personal ice cream maker suitable for children ages 3 and above. You get to control what goes into making the ice cream and the kids get to take part in making an edible creation.
The product has the personal ice cream maker, a small spoon (labeled as measuring scoop), and instructions with recipes.
The kit comes with an outer cone, freezing bowl, lid, and swirl cap. The caps come in different colors – Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry. Hand wash the pieces before using.
Here is the freezing bowl.
And the inner cap.
First you need to add crushed ice, table salt, and a small amount of cold water in the bottom.
Then place the freezer bowl in place. I added the chocolate syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract and used xylitol in place of the sugar.
Then place the lid on and swirl cap.
The instructions say to shake for three minutes. If you don’t like the consistency, you can add a minute to the shaking time. To a child, three to four minutes may seem like a LONG time.
We went a total of six minutes and the ice cream still looked like chocolate soup. My daughter (pictured above) loved the flavor, but it did not look like ice cream. I thought maybe the xylitol caused an issue, even though I have seen other ice cream recipes with it, so we gave it another go with the vanilla ice cream recipe and used sugar plus heavy whipping cream vs. the coconut milk.
After three minutes, a thicker substance was starting to form on the inner surface of the freezing bowl.
We went another minute and had almost what I would term soft serve ice cream, so better results that time.
Ice Cream Magic™ has a suggested retail of $9.99. My daughters thought it was a fun idea. They were not totally impressed my the time spent shaking. Regardless of the end consistency, they liked the flavor of end result and we got to be in control of what went in to it, be it chocolate ice cream soup or soft serve vanilla. If you use Ice Cream Magic™, I would strongly suggested heavy whipping cream vs. coconut milk or milk. I don’t know if my pictures represent it well, but Ice Cream Magic™ makes a batch that is less than 1/2 cup.

Reviews for "Occult Echoes: Tracing the History of Towns along the East Coast"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars
I was really disappointed with "Occult towns along the east coast". The book promised to uncover the mysteries and dark history of these towns, but it fell short. The descriptions were superficial, and there wasn't enough depth or detail about the occult practices that supposedly took place. I also found the writing style to be dry and uninspiring. Overall, I was left wanting more from this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive exploration of occult towns.
2. Mark - 2/5 stars
I had high hopes for "Occult towns along the east coast", but it failed to live up to its promises. The book lacked structure and organization, making it difficult to follow the narrative. The author jumped from one town to another without providing any context or background information. I also found some of the stories to be repetitive and uninteresting. The book would benefit from a tighter focus and more engaging writing style. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book to others who are interested in the occult and the towns along the east coast.
