Pod-based coffee makers have quickly become a favorite amongst consumers seeking a simple, convenient way to prepare hot drinks from home, so the LG Snowwhite aims to extend this functionality to the realm of desserts. The ice cream maker machine works by being used with two kids of pods: one for the kind of dessert desired and another for the flavor. This will allow users to craft their own customized treat from the comfort of their home without having to head out to a local ice cream shop or purchase prepackaged varieties.
The LG Snowwhite ice cream machine was shown off by the brand as a prototype appliance at SXSW 2019 in Austin, Texas but could become a reality in the near future.
