Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker (The Ice Cream Ball)
With the unique Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you can make ice cream while on camping trips, at picnics, barbecues, and many other places. You don’t need electricity to make great tasting ice cream, but rather just add ice and rock salt in one end and ice cream mix in the other end. Then, have a ball as you shake it, pass it, or roll it around for 10 to 15 minutes. The ice cream mix can be as simple as cream, sugar, and vanilla or you can try a more adventurous flavor from the included recipe list or make up your own concoction. Made of durable polycarbonate, the Ice Cream Ball is lightweight, portable, and easy to clean.
How it Works:
- Fill the ice end with as much ice as possible, then add 1/2 cup of rock salt to the pint size or 3/4 cup to the Mega size. The lid should be hand tightened–do not use the wrench.
- Mix up your ice cream ingredients in a container, then pour the mix into the end with the metal cylinder, leaving about one inch for expansion at the top. Hand tighten the lid.
- Have a ball! Shake, roll, and pass it around as you mix and freeze the ingredients. It’s not necessary to shake the ball…just motion will do it.
- After about 10 minutes for the pint size and 15 minutes for the Mega ball, open the ice cream end using the included plastic wrench. Scrape the sides of the cylinder to mix up the ice cream using a plastic or wooden spoon (don’t use a metal spoon as it will scratch the cylinder). Then check the ice end. Pour out the excess water and add more ice and up to 1/3 cup more rock salt to enhance the freezing ability. Close the lids securely and continue having a ball for approximately 5 to 10 more minutes (15 for the Mega).
- You will then have about a pint (or quart for the Mega ball) of delicious soft-serve ice cream. The consistency will vary based on the ice, your mix, the outside temperature, shaking frequency, etc. Once the ice cream is to the consistency of your liking, gently scoop it out and enjoy!
Important tips for using your Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker:
- Directions and recipes are inside the Ball.
- Use cream instead of half and half for richer tasting ice cream.
- Leave about an inch of space for expansion when you fill up the can with the ice cream mix.
- After 10 minutes (15 for Mega ball) of mixing (shaking, rolling, and passing), it is important to stir the ice cream mix (it freezes more around the can). Also, drain the water and refill with ice and additional rock salt. Have fun for another 10 to 15 minutes and you’re done.
- Use the provided plastic wrench to open the ball, but not to close it.

Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker Review: SO MUCH FUN!
This product is so much fun! I’ve used it about 5 times since I got it and I love it! As long as you follow the directions and scrape the sides of the cylinder every 10 minutes or so its pretty easy. It is hard to find a tool that is effective because you are advised not to use metal. As long as the tool you use has a fine edge its not bad but using a wooden spoon was the worst! It’s really easy even if you dont have anyone to play with the ball with you. It’s best if you shake and roll longer than advised so the ice cream is thicker! Best to use it outside or when its ok to be loud because the ice rattling around inside is noisy! It’s a blast and you will love it! The quart one is perfect for my family of 4 for everyone to get a good sized portion ![]()
Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker Review: What a Blast
Wasn’t totally sure about this thing until I tried. I grew up eating homemade ice cream and even owned a hand crank mixer at one point. This is simple and easy to use. I have used it three times and there is a learning curve associated with it as far as the ingredients. Going to try Root Beer next using an extract. This will be a fun addition to football tailgate activities…let everyone get in on it.
