Ice cream makers with built-in compressors are the norm for professional-grade equipment but are too expensive for the general public, which is something the iCreamlab has been developed to help change. The ice cream maker is engineered with an industrial-grade compressor that will immediately chill recipes without the need for any pre-freezing. The unit will quickly cool, freeze and blend your choice of ingredients to offer fresh ice cream in 30-minutes.
The iCreamlab ice cream maker will prepare large enough batches to accommodate six to 10 servings, which makes it great for families and gatherings alike. The unit is being funded as part of a Kickstarter campaign and responds to the recent demand for at-home frozen dessert equipment that's being fueled by social media platforms like TikTok.
