ice cream machine

Frozen treat dispenser

An ice cream machine is a device that churns and freezes a liquid mixture into ice cream.

Home versions are countertop appliances; commercial machines produce soft-serve or hard ice cream at higher volumes.

The churning incorporates air and prevents large ice crystals from forming, creating smooth texture: We broke out the ice cream machine for the Fourth of July.
