Quick answer

To use the Dash My Mug Ice Cream Maker Paddle, attach it to the lid of your My Mug Ice Cream Maker, then churn your prepared base until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Why the paddle matters for single servings

The My Mug Ice Cream Maker Paddle is designed specifically for the Dash My Mug Ice Cream Maker. Its shape and size ensure that the mixture is churned evenly in the small mug, preventing icy chunks and creating a smooth, creamy texture. Without the correct paddle, your ice cream may not freeze properly or could leave unmixed pockets of liquid.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Freeze the mug overnight: Place the inner mug (without the paddle) in the freezer for at least 8 hours. The mug must be fully frozen for the ice cream to set properly. A partially frozen mug will result in a slushy, not creamy, texture.
  2. Prepare your ice cream base: Mix your ingredients in a separate bowl. For best results, use a chilled base with at least 10% fat (cream or whole milk) and keep it cold before pouring. A warm base will take longer to freeze and may not churn evenly.
  3. Attach the paddle to the lid: Snap the My Mug Ice Cream Maker Paddle onto the underside of the lid until it clicks. Make sure it is secure so it doesn't detach during churning. A loose paddle can cause the motor to strain or stop mid-cycle.
  4. Pour base into frozen mug and start: Remove the frozen mug from the freezer, pour in the prepared base, and immediately attach the lid with the paddle. Plug in the maker and press the power button. Let it churn for 15–20 minutes. Do not overfill — leave about 1/2 inch of headspace for the paddle to move freely.
  5. Check consistency and serve: After 15 minutes, stop the machine and lift the lid. The ice cream should be thick and soft-serve like. If it is still liquid, continue churning in 5-minute intervals. Serve immediately or freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer scoop. Over-churning can cause the mixture to become too cold and hard, making it difficult to remove.
