But there’s no need to leave your front door to enjoy delicious ice cream with these machines that enable you to create fabulous frozen treats at home.</p> <p>There are two types of model – fully automatic (with inbuilt freezer) and manual ones (where you have to pre-freeze the bowl first). Make your decision based on your budget, how much ice cream you plan to make, how much storage space you have (smaller ones are about the size of a kettle, but larger ones can be as big as a food processor) and how organised you are. After all, pre-freezing the bowl means you’ll need to plan ahead and find space in your freezer, whereas a built-in freezer machine means you can make ice cream at a moment’s notice. </p> <div class="relatedlinkslist inline-block-related-list inline-block-right"> <h2 class="box-title">Read more</h2> <div class="relatedlinkslist-content" style="min-height: 10px;"> <ul class="related"><li><a data-author="Kate Hilpern..." data-nid="6950516" data-publish_date="28-03-2016" href="/web/20161209185257/http://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/food-drink/best-stand-mixer-great-british-bake-off-kenwood-sage-tefal-bosch-magimix-a6950516.html">10 best stand mixers</a></li> </ul></div> </div> <p>Whichever type you choose, make sure the bowls will fit in your freezer and be sure to check that, if you’re going for a bigger machine, it’s not too heavy and cumbersome to move. It’s also worth remembering that the size of the bowl is not an indication of the amount of ice cream the machine is able to make, as it doesn’t account for the paddle and ability to churn the ingredients. If you want to see how much ice cream you can make in one go, check the specifications, although as a general rule of thumb, manual machines make around 0.8 litres of ice cream, while fully automatic ones can make up to 1.5 litres.</p> <p>To test them, we made a variety of ice creams and frozen desserts – yum.</p> <p>1. <strong>Sage Smart Scoop:</strong> £280, amazon</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4503711:sdl_editor_representation {"additionalClasses":""} --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161209185257im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/24/12/sage.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="sage.jpg" title="sage.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4503711 --></div></div> <p>This is the most intelligent ice-cream maker around.
