About this item
- MAKE ICE CREAM IN UNDER 30 MINUTES: Fresh homemade ice cream is just moments away with the IM540 machine. Making your own ice cream can be healthier for you and it can save you money too. It gives you the opportunity to experiment with your own flavours, try new ingredients and new combinations. And just because it's homemade, doesn't mean it has to be completely healthy - you could try adding chocolate, vanilla, coffee, cinnamon, honey or mint to create a real sweet treat
- HOMEMADE ICE CREAM IN 4 EASY STEPS: 1) Place the bowl in your freezer for 8-24 hours. 2) Once frozen, put the bowl into the IM540 machine and switch it on. 3) While the paddle is turning, pour in your ice cream mixture steadily. 4) Leave the machine to churn the ice cream for 15-30 minutes (the time it takes depends on your recipe). Please note: you must always switch the machine on BEFORE adding your mixture, otherwise it will freeze solid on impact and could cause the machine to stop working
- PERFECT FOR DIFFERENT DIETARY REQUIREMENTS:
- SIMPLE TO OPERATE: The IM540 comes with a freezer ice cream bowl which needs to be frozen prior to use, simply pop this in the freezer the night before and it will be ready to use the next day. Easy to follow instructions are included which guide you how to use the machine. Once the ingredients are added, it takes 15-30 minutes of churning until you have perfectly smooth and creamy ice cream. Please note: you must start the machine before you begin to pour your mixture in
- SPECIFICATIONS: Colour: white with a transparent lid. Bowl capacity: 1.5 litres. Power: 9.5W. Size: 24cm x 17cm x 17cm. Material: outer body plastic. Please note: it is recommended that the bowl is put in the freezer at least 8 hours. It will take 15-30 to make ice cream with the IM540

Product Description
Duronic Ice Cream Maker IM540
Freshly churned homemade ice cream is just minutes away with the Duronic IM540. Designed with simplicity in mind, this machine will allow you to make homemade frozen desserts quickly and easily with almost no effort required. The most preparation needed is to pop the ice cream bowl in the freezer and prepare any fruit or ingredients you might want to add. Leave the rest of the work to the machine, as it will make a beautifully creamy dessert in less than 30 minutes.
The advantages for making frozen desserts at home is that it can be healthier, tastier and it can cost less too. However, one of the best benefits of making homemade ice cream is that you are in control of what ingredients are added; this means no nasty artificial preservatives, colourings, flavourings or emulsifiers are going in. Instead you get to choose exactly what goes in and how much. Completely customise your ice cream recipe by adding together ingredients in different combinations to find a unique flavour or recreate your all-time favourite. Try adding chocolate, caramel, mint, glacier cherries, fresh fruit, raisins, coffee, spices or vanilla extract. The possibilities are endless; you can mix together a combination or just have one flavour by itself; it is totally up to you.
If you prefer to use a dairy-free alternative like soy, coconut or almond milk, you can also do this to create a lighter dessert that is also suitable for vegans. For a more luxurious feel, use cream or gold-top milk to give your ice cream that extra silky creamy texture.

Large 1.5 Litre Mixing BowlIt is recommended that the bowl is put in the freezer at least 8 hours before use. We recommend finding a little space in your freezer to store the bowl permanently, this way it is always ready to use when you fancy making impromptu ice cream. The IM540 comes with 1 bowl, however we also sell spare bowls separately. |
Top-Down Motor with Removable PaddleThis machine has a top-down motor which controls the paddle movement and speed. As the paddle to churns away at the whole ice cream mixture it scoops it away from the sides of the bowl at the same time ensuring it doesn't stick and creates an even consistency. |
Easy to Assemble and CleanThe IM540 ice cream maker is easy to assemble and dis-assemble for cleaning and storage. The paddle and bowl are removable for washing with warm water and soap. The transparent lid also comes away but should only be cleaned by being wiped with a damp cloth. |

Create your Own RecipeChoose what ingredients you would like to add and slowly add to the mixture while the machine is stiring it. This ensures that nothing sticks to the sides and that the ingredients get mixed in well throughout the whole ice cream. |
15-30 Minutes for Perfect Ice CreamIn less than 30 minutes you will see your ingredients mix together and turn into a wonderfully creamy ice cream. Experiment at home with a whole range of ingredients to see which ones work for you and which combinations are the tastiest. |
Make Stunning DessertsScoop out and eat your ice cream straight away, or transfer into a freezer-proof tupperware container and store in the freezer for another time. The possibilities are endless and once you know how simple and easy it is to make ice cream at home, you'll never opt for ready-made ice cream again! |

I've made a fair few batches of Ice Cream with this so would recommend two things: First, the recommended time to freeze the bowl of 8 hours should be thought of as the absolute minimum time to freeze it, this is I think a common trait with all bowls that need freezing, the longer you freeze it the better the results will be, I give mine at least 24 hours. The mixture need to be as cold as possible too so make sure the mixture is well refrigerated before pouring in the bowl, I find it is a good idea to make the mixture and put it in the fridge at the same time as I put the bowl in to freeze so both are ready to go at the same time tomorrow.
Second while the mixing bowl can hold 1.5 litres of liquids, it can not mix 1.5 litres of Ice Cream, the paddle creates a traveling peak as it churns and by the time it reaches the 'soft serve' stage the peak may just touch the paddle housing even with only around 915ml of ingredients (the amount in Frozen Custard) depending on how much air the mixture has beaten into it. If you do have too much in the bowl and the lid and paddle housing get messed up it is fiddly to clean and it is possible for the mixture to get up inside the housing if you go overboard, I'd not risk going much above 950ml of ingredients myself depending on aeration.
The instructed method of adding ingredients through the lid as the paddle is in operation is quite fiddly and liable to make an unholy mess if you are not careful, you could risk putting all the mixture in the bowl before putting the bowl in the machine but a particularly thick mixture will probably cause the motor to struggle to get going and may invalidate any warranty.
Other than those points it does the job very well for the price, the first one is, I believe, common to all Ice Cream makers where you freeze the bowl but as it is fiddly to clean and likely to get messed up if you are not very careful I can only give four stars.
1. I store the bowl permanently in the freezer with other small items inside to conserve space
2. Use a jug to pour in the mixture and seldom have problems over a mess
3. The power unit can be easily detached from the plastic lid by depressing the button on the front so that washing up is straight forward.
4. For a basic vanilla ice cream I use 2 eggs beaten for 2 minutes, add 3 tbsp Stevia, 2 tsp vanilla and beat for another minute. Pour in a 300 ml carton of double cream which is then refilled with milk (both straight from the fridge). Start the machine and carefully pour the mixture in through the hinged lid and leave for about 30 mins to churn.
5. It is necessary to remove the box from the freezer about 30 minutes before use as the ice cream is too hard otherwise.
I have one minor complaint and one more annoying complaint unfortunately. The minor one is that it is hard to get the mixture into the maker while the lid is on - the opening to pour in is pretty small and at an awkward angle, meaning that you have to pour very precisely to get the mixture into the bowl and not make a mess. You could take the lid off but then the mixture would freeze on contact with the walls since there is no stirring action.
The larger complaint is that the capacity is 1.5L but it cannot actually churn 1.5L of mixture (I have tried with 1.4L, not 1.5L). Even with a stone-cold mixture and a fresh bowl from the freezer the maker continues to produce small ice crystals but no change in mixture texture otherwise, and after about 40 minutes the motor cuts off due to overheating from trying to mix such a large volume (once cooled it can work again but with this large volume it again fails). I have tried this twice and now am back to making smaller volumes. Not a problem most of the time (you can even just take a larger volume and store the other half in the fridge and freeze a day later) but for Christmas prep it did make things more annoying.
