Yip! There are various types, but I have one that works in a similar way to this: https://www.briscoes.co.nz/product/1044163/zip-ice-cream-maker/

There is a bowl with thick walls, with the walls filled with some special liquid like the kind of ice packs you might put in your chilly bin. You put this in the freezer for a couple of days to get really frozen, and you mix up an ice cream mix. I have a recipe I like that has egg yolks, cream, milk, sugar, flavour and you carefully cook it, then I normally put it in the fridge at least overnight so it starts out cold.

You then take the special bowl out of the freezer, and attach the motorised part and turn it on, then pour in the mixture. It has plastic blades that go around the sides of the bowl scraping off the mixture as it freezes against the sides of the frozen bowl, keeping the mixture constantly moving. You let it run about 20 mins, and it becomes a thick but still runny mixture, then you scoop it into a container and put it in the freezer to finish off freezing.

It's a bit of work and definitely doesn't save any money over store bought, but things taste better when you made them yourself 😆
