Ice cream screams summer. Cooling off in the heat with a frozen treat is a universal experience. Wouldn’t you love it if you could make your own without having to rely on store-bought?
You’d never have to compromise on flavors again, because you’d always make your fave. You could turn soda, wine, or juice into a smooth, icy slushy. You could churn up milkshakes and soft serve any time, day or night.
This is why the GreenPan Frost is the must-have summer gadget of summer 2025. It’s not just a frozen dessert maker, it’s a way to upgrade your life and make it sweeter and more fun. The machine’s been tough to get hold of all summer as it keeps selling out, but GreenPan’s working hard to keep up with demand.
I was lucky enough to grab one while it was in stock and as soon as it arrived, I fell in love. I even managed to order another for my mom before it sold out again so she could experience the magic too!
Even though the Frost only debuted at the start of the summer, it’s been consistently sold out. So how did I manage to get my hands on one?
My secret? The humble preorder goes a long way! When the Frost launched in June, I was green with envy. So I made sure to get my preorder in early, so I’d be first in line when the website restocked.
Now? I’m giggling with joy as I set another batch of soft serve churning. My mom’s started making healthy protein smoothies to start her day the right way. It’s rare that a gadget can add so much joy into your life.
Who doesn’t want to feel like a kid in an ice cream shop? That nostalgic feeling is driving people to invest in an at-home soft-serve machine, making the GreenPan Frost the most in-demand summer gadget ever.
The Frost can crank out soft serve, milkshakes, spiked slushies, smoothies, milkshakes, sorbet, and more in as little as 15 minutes. That means you can whip up pretty much any frozen treat imaginable in less time than it takes to go to the store to grab a pint from the deep freeze.
Unlike similar models on the market, the Frost has a built-in chiller. What does that mean? You don’t need to wait for 24 hours for your mixtures to freeze before it gets turned into dessert. Instead, you just mix, pour, and wait 15-30 minutes.
You’re in control, with six different preset options and seven textures to choose from, ranging from soft and creamy to firm and thick. All that stands between you and your perfect summer dessert is pressing a few buttons.
The Frost has a 64oz capacity, so you can have your friends over or make ice cream for the kiddos without running out. Cleanup’s stupidly simple. There’s a quick self-cleaning cycle, and all the parts are dishwasher safe.
First of all, it's a super cute machine. The pistachio color looks bright and cheerful in my kitchen. This is one gadget I don’t mind having on display. Something I hate about other brands of ice cream maker is how loud they are. The Frost is whisper-quiet and unobtrusive.
One of the main reasons I love the Frost? It encourages me to see my friends more and have people over, because I want to share the experience of homemade ice cream with them. It’s made to feed a crowd, and it’s so much fun to experiment with toppings and flavor combos.
You can order your Frost now on GreenPan’s website (I went for the pistachio green color, and it’s also available in cream, berry, and licorice colors).
