KitchenAid 1.9 L Ice Cream Maker Attachment for Stand Mixers

Make Your Kitchen an Ice Cream Parlour

The KitchenAid ice cream attachment transforms your stand mixer into an ice cream maker. Fit the frozen bowl in place and you will soon be experimenting with ingredients, toppings and all kinds of flavour combinations.

Create creamy homemade ice cream, gelato, sorbet, frozen yoghurt and other frozen treats. From classic vanilla and blackberry hibiscus sorbet to the ice cream filling for mango mochi, there is always something new to try.

Powered by Your KitchenAid Stand Mixer

The set includes a 1.9 L freeze bowl, dasher and drive assembly, replacing your usual mixer bowl and beater while in use. The components connect simply to compatible tilt-head and bowl-lift stand mixers, allowing the mixer to power the churning process.

The attachment fits most KitchenAid household tilt-head mixers, except models 5KSM3310X and 5KSM3311X. It also fits most bowl-lift mixers, except the 5KPM5 Heavy Duty, 5KPM50 and 5K5 models.

Frozen Treats in Under 30 Minutes

Freeze the bowl for at least 16 hours—or overnight—before you plan to use it. Prepare and chill your mixture in advance, then take the bowl from the freezer only when everything else is ready, as it begins to warm immediately.

Fit the freeze bowl, dasher and drive assembly before setting the mixer to Stir speed. Once the mixer is running, pour in no more than 1.4 L of prepared mixture through the open top. Adding it before the dasher starts moving could cause the mixture to freeze prematurely and lock the mechanism.

Churn for approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on your recipe. The mixture expands as air is incorporated, producing up to 1.9 L of finished ice cream. This preparation time does not include freezing the bowl or making and chilling the initial mixture.

Thorough Churning for Creamier Results

The rotating dasher continuously folds and mixes the ingredients against the walls of the frozen bowl. This encourages fast, even freezing and helps create smaller ice crystals for a smoother, creamier texture.

The open-bowl design also makes it easy to add extras while the mixture churns. Fold in fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, sweets or other solid ingredients around 12–15 minutes into the cycle so they are distributed throughout your creation.

Freshly churned ice cream will have a soft consistency and can be enjoyed straight away. For a firmer finish, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for another two to four hours. Finished ice cream should not be stored inside the freeze bowl, as scraping out a hard-frozen mixture could damage its surface.

Make Room in Your Freezer

The freeze bowl measures 17.8 cm high, 27.9 cm wide and 21.6 cm deep, so check the available space in your freezer before chilling it. If frozen desserts are a regular temptation, keep the clean, dry bowl in the freezer so it is ready whenever inspiration strikes.

Its generous size accommodates up to 1.4 L of prepared mixture, which can expand during churning to produce as much as 1.9 L of ice cream—enough for sharing, if you are feeling generous.

Easy to Clean After All the Fun

Allow the freeze bowl to return completely to room temperature before cleaning it. Wash it by hand in warm water with a mild detergent, then dry it thoroughly before returning it to the freezer. The bowl is not dishwasher-safe.

The dasher and drive assembly can be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher, leaving everything clean and ready for your next batch of homemade ice cream, gelato or sorbet.
