The Breville Smart Scoop has a built-in compressor, allowing for continuous batch-making of frozen desserts. The adjustable ice cream hardness setting automatically senses the stiffness of the mixture, allowing you to produce soft or firm textures. The pre-cool function cools the unit and container down while you prep, and the keep-cool function maintains your dessert at the perfect consistency for up to 3 hours. When your ice dessert is complete the unit plays a tune which will remind you of your childhood spent chasing the ice cream truck on those hot summer days, but now you don’t have to ask your parent’s permission first!
