How it works

The Tern craft ice cream maker is different because of its patented fast-freeze technology. After the bowl is frozen in the freezer, the machine spins it and evenly spreads the ice cream mix on the freezing surface thereby lowering the temperature of the mixture as quickly as possible. The churning paddle is then used to scrape and mix for about 5 minutes, until the ice cream is smooth and dense.

  • Faster is better

    Speed is all about quality and convenience. With Tern's patented fast-freeze technology, you can churn a pint of ice cream in just 5 minutes. That is faster than most professional machines used in ice cream or gelato shops. The faster a batch of milk, sugar and cream freezes into ice cream, the smaller the ice crystals and air pockets folded inside. And tiny particles create a richer, creamier finished ice cream, while still using healthier ingredients.

  • Always at Hand

    Tern is ready when you are. There is no need to pre-freeze ingredients or a mix - just keep the bowl in the freezer and a dreamy pint of ice cream is never more than a few minutes away. Maybe a spontaneous visit from friends or loved ones or a late night craving that creamy gelato would satisfy - Tern has your back for all those unexpected opportunities.

  • Healthier

    The Tern ice cream maker lets you use LESS fat and sugar in your recipes, while still creating a smooth, dense ice cream with a rich flavor and superior consistency. Whether you have special dietary needs or just want to know what goes into your ice cream - the ingredients are what make the highest quality sorbet, gelato and ice cream. Just like this strawberry sorbet made from fresh strawberries, churned in minutes.

  • Experience the family can enjoy

    Enjoy learning a new skill and doing it with the people you love the most. Take turns churning or each person choose their favorite recipe and make their own. There is more than just amazing ice cream - there is an activity to look forward to.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

I purchased three Terns...one for my son and his family, one for my daughter and her family and one for my wife and I. ONE OF THE BEST PURCHASES I HAVE EVER MADE. It is so quick an easy to make a batch of some of the smoothest, most flavorful ice cream I have ever had. The process takes about 15 minutes (including prep time) and the small batches makes it very convenient for a quick snack for two...maybe even three or four (depending on how much you eat). The biggest challenge is learning how to use the paddle, but it is a short learning curve and once you've got it, it is a breeze...or should I say freeze. Normally we eat it right after we make it, but we tried putting a couple of batches in the freezer....and the quality was just as good. If you like ice cream and want it fast ( versus the hand/power cranking with ice and salt), this is it. Better than store bought by far.

TRULY PHENOMENAL

I was skeptical, but WOW this does exactly what is says and it's fantastic.
Smaller ice crystals mean really creamy ice cream/ gelato.
I use alternative milks- coconut etc and it's honestly a miracle worker.
Better than the pro compressor machine I had before.

Love it!

Works great

Machine works as advertised. Get the second bowl you will want to make more. Having fun experimenting with recipes and flavors.

Very Pleased

We were so excited to receive our Tern ice cream maker. Unfortunately, when switched on, the motor did not work. I contacted customer service and they sent a replacement very quickly. The machine works great and is fun to use. I made my first batch with my three year old grandson watching. I finished before he lost interest (which really says something considering the attention span of a toddler). Of course he was very happy to help eat the final product. Delicious! We are very pleased with our new Tern ice cream maker.

Fun level of involvment without being impractical

The churner is just practical and straightforward enough that it doesn’t get in the way of kitchen experiments or the occassional serious recipe. Clean up and prep time are not really factors. All it takes is to have your custard base ready (10min + cooling time) a couple hours or the day prior and have a semi-decent gameplan of how you will flavor it. And as for the bowl, I leave it in the freezer so it’s always ready to use. If you’re turned off by grocery store ice cream ingredients and want something that would simplify the process so you can focus on the flavor then I would recommend this to you. If you’re looking to churn out higher volumes, then probably not since the machine only handles 1 pint at a time. I’ve had it for many months now and customer service has treated me well every time. Pro-tip: A uniquely flavored batch with a loved one in mind makes for a thoughtful gift. Just make sure it’s not one of your untested recipes :P
