Having a Ball

The Ice Cream Maker

Oh, sure. Take us out to the ballgame.

But these days it’s hard find one that actually produces something other than a super-size star with an even bigger opinion of himself.

Until now. The Ice Cream Ball churns out honest, humble ice cream.

Here’s the scoop: Pack one end with ice and eight tablespoons of rock salt. On the other side, add the requisite cream and sugar. As for the rest of the ingredients — cookie dough, chocolate chips, fresh strawberries, mashed bananas, ground coffee — the ball’s in your court.

Once both lids are securely closed, toss or roll it about and it’ll do its thing. Add a few extra ice cubes and in about twenty minutes, you’ll have a pint of fresh, delish ice cream that hits it out of the park every time.

No steroids or ego trips required.
