Lakeland Digital Ice Cream Maker, £39.99, lakeland.co.uk
A brilliant budget (and compact) option for a first foray into ice-cream making. You’ll need to freeze the bowl at least 12 hours in advance of churning, but it can then whip up 500ml of ice cream in 20-30 minutes.
Cuisinart Ice Cream & Gelato Professional, £199.99, amazon.co.uk
So easy, with a built-in freezing unit that chills the ice cream base as it churns. It can make up to 1.5 litres of ice cream in about 30-40 minutes.
Magimix Gelato Expert, £499.99, johnlewis.com
One for enthusiasts, with separate churning options for 2 litres of ice cream in 30 minutes.
