There’s nothing quite as refreshing as eating a cold treat like ice cream when it gets hot outside—however, those who are vegan or lactose-intolerant don't have as many options when it comes to chilled sweets. But thanks to this bestselling soft serve maker, it's easy to create frozen, non-dairy desserts at home in just minutes.

The Yonanas soft serve maker uses frozen fruits to create sorbet-style delicacies without using milk. Instead of cooling down the dessert as an ice cream maker would do with milk, this $50 machine relies on the already frozen fruits to keep the food at a chilled temperature. You just have to peel your fruit of choice and toss it into the chute. The gadget will then release the soft serve into a bowl placed below the device so you'll have a perfect portion ready in less than 10 minutes.

It turns your fruit into a sherbet in [a] matter of 2 minutes. It is really amazing." Many enjoy that it's kid-friendly, too. One user bought this soft serve machine for their 12-year-old child, who loves sweet, healthy treats. “This is a simple [setup] and very easy and safe for her to use,” the reviewer wrote.
