Step 1, fill with ice.


Step 2, mix up ingredients.


Step 3, shake it up.


Step 4, enjoy.
How it Works:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.

Sports reviews of Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker (Ice Cream Ball)

Customer Review: Ice cream Ball
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

This works great when you have lots of kids to help you. Let them toss and roll it around. Takes a bit of time and kids may get fidgety we are currently on our second Ice cream ball we got the larger size after our daughter broke the last one on the tile floor. other reviewer said that they kicked it wow !! good luck with that !!!

Everyone in the campground looks forward to when we have Ice cream night ; )

Customer Review: green goblin's pumpkin bomb makes ice cream?
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

i have never actualy used this product, but the thing that intrested me was and is that it looks like a pumpkin bomb from the Spider-Man - The High Definition Trilogy (Spider-Man / Spider-Man 2 / Spider-Man 3) [Blu-ray]

Customer Review: Great, fun, but time-consuming
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I knew its pros and cons so I was prepared. Yes, it takes time - about 30 minutes to get the ice cream. So what? Enjoy having fun together with kids!
I'd like to have more receipts enclosed. But I made some of my own.

Customer Review: Alternate Method of Shaking for the Play and Freeze IC Maker Ball
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I'm exploring an alternate method of shaking by putting the whole thing in the clothes dryer with no heat and wrapped-it in towels. Enough tumbling and shaking there. Try this at your own risk if you see a possibility.

Customer Review: Lots of fun
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

My 10 year old son and I had a great time making ice cream with it. It works quite well!
