Who doesn’t love dessert or any sweet treat for snacks? We usually buy our favorite desserts in store but there is nothing compared to homemade sweet treats that are not just healthy (fewer preservatives), they are also easy and fun to do.
Today, I will share three of my favorite kitchen items that make dessert-making at home super easy and of course delicious!
1. Make your own Kakigori with Doshisha Electric Shaved Ice Machine
Have you heard of kakigori? Or perhaps tried one during your summer trip to Japan? Kakigori is Japanese style shaved ice that can come in different flavors depending on your liking. If you haven’t been to Japan to try, here is the good news! You can make one for yourself with Doshisha Electric Shaved Ice Machine.
The Doshisha Electric Shaved Ice Machine not only promises but also delivers extremely fluffy shaved ice. I was actually surprised by how fluffy the ice is. It’s like fluffy powdered snow. Aside from the machine itself, all you need to make shaved ice is a block of ice and some syrup. It comes with two ice cups (lids included) and that’s it.
You’ll be eating shaved ice desserts in less than a minute! Want to see a detailed review of this wonderful fluffy powdered snowmaker?

2. Homemade ice cream with Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker
Are you looking for a new ice cream machine? If so, have you considered the Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream machine? It’s one of my favorite kitchen appliances! It makes homemade ice cream in under an hour. And thanks to the compressor, you can make back to back batches!
This is the perfect solution for the summer heat. No need to go out because making your preferred flavor of ice cream is faster than shopping for it. It has its own detachable ice cream bucket that you can take out for easy maneuver, a timer button, an audible bell sound, and a ‘KEEP COOL’ button that keeps your ice cream cool for 3 hours.
I have listed some things I like and dislike about this ice cream maker (and ice cream making tips as well) which you can view below:
