My dad bought me a $300 ice cream maker - it actually churns out really delicious soft serve style ice cream with barely any work. The issue is it’s about 100 lbs, the size of a small HVAC unit, and I put it away in our basement storage area. At this point it’s less effort to just buy the damn ice cream.
There are some really simple recipes and some cheap machines available though, the ones that use a drum you pre-freeze are like $60-80 new and really cheap used. You can make ice cream with milk, cream, sugar, a flavor of choice and a bit of something alcoholic and it’s fantastic. I never buy ice cream anymore, and it’s so much better (and cheaper) than store bought.
