Initially, you have to freeze the mix. When you're ready to make the ice cream, take the mix out, let it sit for 5 minutes. Once you're ready to make it it takes about three minutes to churn the ice-cream to a smooth consistency. If you want to add in mix ins (cookie dough, Oreo cookie, Reeces PB cup, etc....) you add them in after it's churned and run t for another 3 minutes.
