Ice Cream! I was sad to leave my beloved Donvier hand crank ice cream maker back east when I headed west last winter. I got that for $5 at a stoop sale in Brooklyn and made many a fine ice cream with it. I was thus thrilled when I stumbled upon a mini half pint ice cream maker from the fine folks at Donvier at an estate/yard sale about a month ago. I inquired and found the price to be a whopping $1 so I took it with glee. There she sits, in all her icy glory.
The ice cream recipes I usually use are for about 2 pints, so I needed to scale down for the wee half pinter. The maker came with a handy little instruction guide on the box as well as a basic recipe. I veganized that baby and got my churn on. Here's a poor quality blurry photo of that Donvier magic happening.
This post may indeed be fun but it isn't really Halloween themed. I did
put the ice cream in an orange container to really up the festive
quality though. I got those vintage tupperwares for 25 cents at the same estate sale. 20 minutes to a wee serving of homemade ice cream. Long live the Donvier!

What a deal! Do share some of your favorite homemade vegan ice creams!
what a cute little thing! For how long do you have to churn it?
So cute --- and prices worthy of Amazing Savings!
There are hand crank ice cream makers?? I have to start looking for one immediately!
It's so cute!! We need to look around some yard sales when I'm in Portland!
Fanny, I only churn for maybe 20 minutes? You just churn, let it rest then churn, let it rest. So it isn't continuous.
Phoenix, I really like the texture I get from the handcrank.
That ice cream maker is adorable!
You are an amazing shopper. Seems like one ice cream maker door closed and another ice cream maker door opened. For you...a dollar.
Built in portion control. My four quart monster doesn't offer that! Great find!
I am loving the ice cream maker, and having a total nostalgic moment because I remember eating cheerios out of those little tupperware containers as a kid. I think I'm going to have to go hit up some garage sales/ebay and find some!
It's pretty awesome, and you can laugh maniacally at those of us who don't get to make ice cream when the electricity is out, since you only use elbow grease to churn yours. Well played, Madame Panda, well played.
I love my Donvier too! My kids like to just pour a bottle of root beer in. Such a simple treat. :-)
