Making your own isn’t hard at all if you have the kitchen space to store a machine. The cheaper ($50-70) ones where you pre-freeze an ice pack are plenty to get started. It really isn’t much more than stirring and then waiting.

My favorite thing is to get in-season Hood strawberries and mix those into a real vanilla base. So good!

You can also just use a regular kitchen-aid mixer, and some liquid nitrogen.

I went to visit the factory, the have a flavor “graveyard” with gravestones with all the discontinued flavors.

I became a little disappointed watching them wear Ppe masks and pour guar gum into the icecream liquid..They said it smooths the texture...
