‘I tried the nutribullet Chill ice cream maker – now is the perfect time to get one’

nutribullet is bringing the ice cream parlour experience home with the launch of the Chill – an innovative prozen dessert maker designed to make customised treats in minutes

I’ve been using the nutribullet Chill Ice Cream Maker for a few weeks now, and it’s quickly become one of my favourite kitchen gadgets. As a busy mum, I’m always looking for simple ways to make homemade treats without spending hours in the kitchen, and this has been a real hit with the whole family.

The nutribullet Chill is designed to deliver creamier results, faster. This modern, countertop-friendly frozen dessert machine includes 5 delicious preset programs for ice cream, sorbet, gelato, smoothie bowls, and frozen yogurt, transforming everything from traditional cream and sugar to high-protein smoothies into smooth, frosty, scoopable treats.

What I love most is how easy it is to use. Once the freezer bowl has been chilled, making ice cream couldn’t be simpler. I just prepare my mixture, pour it into the machine, and let it churn everything into a smooth, creamy dessert. There’s something really satisfying about watching a handful of ingredients turn into homemade ice cream in such a short time.

The whole family has had fun experimenting with different flavours. We’ve made everything from classic vanilla and chocolate to fresh strawberry, mint chocolate chip, and even frozen yoghurt. It’s also great for making fruity sorbets, especially when we’ve got lots of fresh fruit to use up. The kids love helping to choose the flavours and adding extras like chocolate chips, crushed biscuits, or sprinkles towards the end.

One of the biggest advantages for me is knowing exactly what’s going into our desserts. I can reduce the sugar, use fresh ingredients, or make dairy-free versions when needed. It feels like a much healthier alternative to buying tubs of ice cream from the supermarket, and the flavour always tastes fresher because it’s homemade.

The texture has really impressed me too. I honestly wasn’t expecting homemade ice cream to be this creamy, but the nutribullet Chill does a fantastic job. As long as the freezer bowl has been properly frozen beforehand, the finished result is smooth, rich, and every bit as enjoyable as many shop-bought varieties.

Like most ice cream makers with a freezer bowl, you do need to plan ahead. The bowl needs plenty of time in the freezer before you want to use it, so it’s not ideal if you suddenly decide you fancy ice cream after dinner. I’ve solved that by simply keeping the bowl stored in the freezer most of the time, which means it’s always ready whenever we want to make a batch.

Cleaning it afterwards is nice and straightforward too. The parts come apart easily, wash quickly, and don’t take up loads of cupboard space when everything is put away.

What I’ve enjoyed most is how it’s become more than just another kitchen appliance. It’s turned into a fun family activity, especially at weekends or during the school holidays. The kids get involved from start to finish, and everyone enjoys creating their own flavours and choosing their favourite toppings.

Overall, I’ve been genuinely impressed with the nutribullet Chill Ice Cream Maker. It’s simple to use, makes delicious homemade ice cream with a wonderfully creamy texture, and gives you complete control over the ingredients. Whether you’re making indulgent desserts, lighter frozen yoghurt, or refreshing fruit sorbets, it’s a brilliant addition to the kitchen. For families, or anyone who loves homemade desserts, I think it’s well worth the investment.

The nutribullet Chill is available from nutribullet from £169.99.
