This ball whisk might look a little bizarre at first glance - sort of like one of those children’s lighted toys they sell at amusement parks. However, they’ve certainly hit upon something as far as usability goes in the kitchen.

Because of that, it’s easier to make batches one after the other, with the average time for a freeze said to be a little more than half an hour.
