Our frozen dessert maker is a versatile attachment for your stand mixer, helping you to create delicious desserts in no time at all.

The attachment sits snugly inside the stand mixer bowl and comes with a pre-freeze bowl, mixing paddle and bowl adapter. The 1L bowl is perfect for making large batches of frozen desserts, too!

Let the mixing paddle do all the hard work for you, churning fruits, chocolate and other flavours and toppings with ease. Before making your desserts, we also recommend placing the pre-freeze bowl in the freezer overnight.

You can watch our video guide to find out how to assemble the attachment on your stand mixer.
