The GLINK Ice Cream Maker Attachment brings the joy of homemade frozen desserts to your KitchenAid stand mixer. This 2-quart freezer bowl works with 4.5/5 QT Tilt-Head and 6 QT Bowl-Lift models, giving you a compact, self-contained way to craft creamy treats at home.

Compatibility and Setup
Designed to fit common KitchenAid configurations, the attachment uses distinct drive ports to accommodate different mixer sizes. For best results, keep the freezer bowl stored at room temperature when not in use, and avoid long-term freezer storage of the bowl itself.

- Port configuration: Port A is for 4.5/5 QT Tilt-Head, Port B for 6 QT or larger bowls.
How to Use
For best texture, freeze the bowl at 0°F for 16–24 hours. Install the drive assembly on your mixer, power up, and pour your ice cream base into the cold bowl. In about 30 minutes, a dense, creamy mixture is possible with steady stirring. If the stirring pauses, the mix may cling to the inner wall and slow rotation.
- Stir steadily: Keep the motion going until the ice cream forms for a smooth result.
- Flavor and mix-ins: Add fresh fruit, nuts, vanilla, or chocolate chips to customize every batch.

- Flavor ideas: Fresh fruit, vanilla, nuts, chocolate chips, or swirls for texture and interest.
