I spent a year testing the Ninja Creami Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream Maker and made all kinds of frozen desserts to see if the TikTok-viral appliance is worth buying.

If you want to make frozen desserts at home, the best ice cream makers are quick, intuitive and consistent. These are our favorite models in 2025.

Ice cream makers turn about one and a half quarts of ice cream per batch which amounts to roughly three pints, although our top pick -- the Cuisinart Total Indulgence -- churns 2 quarts or four ...

The Cuisinart ICE-21 had the best balance of price and performance of any ice cream maker we tested. It churned some of the best, creamiest ice cream while also being among the cheapest models.

We tried 11 brands of vanilla ice cream side-by-side to determine the ultimate best. Our top pick is great for pie, brownies, milkshakes, or eaten straight from the cone.

I test ice cream scoops all year, and the Thrifty Old Time Ice Cream Scooper is the best ice cream scooper. It’s mess-free, scoops without much effort, and is easy to clean. It’s also fun to use.
