Question

Can i make butter using my ice cream maker?

Answer 1

I don't see why not its all the same principal. Let some cream set out a day or two and put it in. I would be willing to bet that it will work.

Answer 2

lol that's a unique idea, but i think it would depend on your ice cream maker, like how the revolver piece is formed and how it effects the products in the (freezer) bowl but i think it would be difficult.. you can try - might not be that successful  

Answer 3

You can try making butter the way it is described on this website.  once you have made it once, you can determine if it is a good idea to use the ice cream maker.  it might end up taking more time and be more of a hassle than just using a mixer or food processor.

Good Luck!
