Abstract
A machine for making ice cream bars is provided with a receptacle for holding a refrigerant, preferably an ice and brine bath, a lower lid movably mountable over the receptacle, and an upper lid mountable over the lower lid, the lower and upper lids rotatable together about a vertical axis. The machine further includes four containers for receiving and holding an ice cream bar mix, the containers configured to be coupled to the upper lid and the lower lid with a portion of the container immerged in the bath. A user can turn a handle on the receptacle to rotate the lids, and thus the containers relative to the bath in order to promote freezing of the ice cream mix into an ice cream bar.
