I saw an ice cream maker in a catalog that was in the shape of a ball. Instead of hand cranking, you just toss it around until it's nice and creamy.

(Or just buy an electric one with the high tech freezer chamber like I did. No ice or salt needed, just freeze the chamber real good before you want to make it.)

I've got a little Jack Russell that loves chasing a ball around. Maybe he could get some exercise and make ice cream at the same time. LOL

The electric one sounds like a neat gizmo to have on hand. I'd probably gain 10 pounds though, if I could make ice cream that easily.

I bought one of those freezer chambers at Williams Sonoma and didn't care for it - maybe I wasn't freezing it well enough. I will stick with my electric ice cream freezer instead.
