What is claimed is: 1. A portable ice cream maker for making ice cream comprising: a vessel having a dasher; a motor being connected to the dasher; a housing for housing said vessel and said motor, said housing having an inlet, an outlet and a valve at said outlet, wherein the ice cream is released

What is claimed is: 1. A portable ice cream maker for making ice cream comprising: a vessel having a dasher; a motor being connected to the dasher; a housing for housing said vessel and said motor, said housing having an inlet, an outlet and a valve at said outlet, wherein the ice cream is released from said vessel through said outlet when said valve is actuated, wherein the dasher is connected to said motor by a threaded rod; and a piston, said piston being connected to said threaded rod, wherein the dasher is a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal member, said first and said second longitudinal members scraping an inner wall of said vessel for mixing and for providing a consistency of the ice cream, wherein said motor is reversible, said reversible motor rotating said threaded rod in a first motor position and a second motor position, wherein said threaded rod is operable to rotate from a first threaded rod position to a second threaded rod position in response to an actuation of said valve. 2. The portable ice cream maker of claim 1, wherein said piston moves in response to a change of said rotation of said threaded rod from a first piston position to a second piston position, said piston displacing the ice cream out of said outlet upon moving from said first piston position to said second piston position when said threaded rod rotates from said first threaded rod position to said second threaded rod position, said piston rotating on a thread of said threaded rod. 3. A portable ice cream maker for making ice cream comprising: a vessel having a dasher; a motor being connected to the dasher; a housing for housing said vessel and said motor, said housing having an inlet, an outlet and a valve at said outlet, wherein the ice cream is released from said vessel through said outlet when said valve is actuated, wherein the dasher is connected to said motor by a threaded rod; and a piston, said piston being connected to said threaded rod, wherein the dasher is a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal member, said first and said second longitudinal members scraping an inner wall of said vessel for mixing and for providing a consistency of the ice cream, wherein said first longitudinal member and said second longitudinal member are connected to one another by a first guide, said first guide being a lateral member disposed through said threaded rod, said first guide having a first notch at a first end and a second notch at a second end, said first longitudinal member and said second longitudinal member being connected to said first notch and said second notch, respectively. 4. The portable ice cream maker of claim 3, further comprising a second guide having a third notch and a fourth notch, said first longitudinal member being connected to said third notch and said second longitudinal member being connected to said fourth notch, said first longitudinal member and said second longitudinal member being positioned to scrape said inner wall of said vessel. 5. An ice cream maker for making ice cream comprising: a cylindrical freezing vessel made from a thermally conductive material, said cylindrical freezing vessel having an outlet and an inner wall; a reversible motor having an output drive shaft, said output drive shaft being connected to a threaded rod, said threaded rod extending into said cylindrical freezing vessel, said threaded rod being connected to a first dasher guide and a second dasher guide, said first dasher guide and said second dasher guide both being connected to a first dasher and a second dasher in said cylindrical freezing vessel, said first dasher and said second dasher rotating to scrape said inner wall of said cylindrical freezing vessel; and a valve in spaced relation to said outlet of said cylindrical freezing vessel, said valve moving from a first valve position to a second valve position, wherein said valve releases the ice cream out of said outlet when at said second valve position. 6. The ice cream maker of claim 5, wherein said valve actuates said reversible motor from a first motor operating condition to a second motor operating condition. 7. The ice cream maker of claim 6, wherein said reversible motor rotates when at said first motor operating condition in a manner selected from the group consisting of a clockwise manner, a counterclockwise manner, and any combination thereof, and wherein said reversible motor rotates in an opposite manner when at said second motor operating condition relative to said first motor operating condition, said threaded rod rotating in a direction that is substantially similar a direction as said motor. 8. The ice cream maker of claim 7, further comprising a piston, said piston moving on said threaded rod when said reversible motor is actuated by said valve. 9. The ice cream maker of claim 8, wherein said piston displaces the ice cream in said cylindrical freezing vessel and out of said outlet when moving from a first piston position to a second piston position on a thread of said threaded rod. 10. An ice cream maker for making ice cream comprising: a vessel made from a thermally conductive material; a reversible motor having an output drive shaft, said output drive shaft being connected to a threaded rod, said threaded rod extending into said vessel, said threaded rod being further connected to a piston and a plurality of dasher guides, said plurality of dasher guides being connected to a plurality of dashers in said vessel by a plurality of notches on said plurality of dasher guides, said plurality of dashers rotating in response to a rotation in a first motor direction to scrape an inner wall of said cylindrical freezing vessel; and a valve at an outlet of said vessel being engageable from a first valve position to a second valve position, said valve at said first valve position sealing said outlet, said valve at said second valve position traversing a predetermined distance to open said outlet, said valve actuating said reversible motor to rotate in a second motor direction, said second motor direction being opposite said first motor direction for displacing said piston in said vessel, said piston traversing on said threaded rod in a first piston direction to a second piston direction, said first piston direction being located opposite said outlet, said second piston direction being located toward said outlet, said piston traversing from said first piston direction to said second piston direction releasing the ice cream out of said outlet. 11. The ice cream maker of claim 10, wherein said valve is connected to a tab extending outwardly from the ice cream maker, said tab being biased to be selectively depressed by a user from said first valve position to said second valve position.
