KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment KSMICM — 2-Quart Small-Batch with Redesigned Dasher & Easy-Grip Handles

The KitchenAid KSMICM Ice Cream Maker Attachment turns your compatible KitchenAid Stand Mixer into a quick, small-batch maker for ice cream, gelato and sorbet. Make restaurant-style frozen treats at home without complicated equipment — just attach the insulated 2-quart bowl and redesigned dasher to your compatible KitchenAid Stand Mixer and churn smooth, creamy desserts in about 30 minutes (excluding prep and freeze time). This attachment includes the freezing bowl, dasher and hub assembly and features improved handles and a reworked dasher to scrape and fold ingredients evenly while freezing.

How quickly can I make ice cream with this attachment?

You can churn most recipes to scoopable texture in roughly 20–30 minutes once the bowl and ingredients are ready. Faster results depend on prior bowl freezing and room temperature of your mix.

• 2-quart capacity ideal for small batches (serves 4–6).
• Expect about 20–30 minutes of churning time per batch.
• Pre-freeze the bowl as directed for best results.
• Recipes for sorbet and gelato may vary in time and texture.

Which KitchenAid mixers will this KSMICM attachment work with?

The attachment is designed for most KitchenAid Tilt-Head Stand Mixers and many Bowl-Lift models, but it’s not universal. Confirm your mixer’s model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

• Fits most Tilt-Head models; excludes Artisan Mini KSM3316 and KSM3317.
• Compatible with many Bowl-Lift mixers, with a few 5–6 qt exceptions (K5SS, KSM50, KSM500, KSM450).
• Not compatible with Professional series models KSM90 and KG25H.
• Stand Mixer sold separately; verify compatibility on your mixer badge.

What improvements does the redesigned KSMICM include?

This version adds easier-to-grip handles, a refined hub assembly for simple attachment, and a new dasher profile that scrapes and folds more uniformly for even freezing.

• New handles for faster, more secure bowl removal from the freezer and mixer base.
• Redesigned dasher increases ingredient contact with cold surfaces for consistent texture.
• Updated hub assembly simplifies connection to the mixer power hub.
• All parts rinse clean once returned to room temperature; hand wash recommended.

How do I care for and store the Ice Cream Maker Attachment?

After use, return the bowl to room temperature and wash with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly and store the bowl in a freezer-ready position to maintain the internal cooling gel if you plan to reuse it soon.

• Hand wash bowl, dasher and hub assembly with warm, soapy water.
• Air dry completely before freezing for next use.
• Avoid dishwasher to protect the bowl’s freezing gel lining.
• Store upright or as directed to preserve the gel and handles.

Who is this for? Home cooks and dessert lovers who already own a compatible KitchenAid Stand Mixer and want an easy way to make small batches of custard-style ice cream, sorbet, or gelato will value the KSMICM. It’s ideal for weekend hosts, parents who make treats for kids, and anyone experimenting with flavors without needing a separate freestanding ice cream machine. If you want reliable performance, faster assembly, and a compact 2-quart portion size that fits most kitchens, this attachment is designed to expand your mixer’s capabilities without taking up extra counter space.
