A frozen food appliance and related method of making a frozen food product. A rotational drive assembly configured in an axial alignment using a direct drive to produce rotational movement of a blade element to contact a frozen food precursor in a frozen food container associated with the frozen food appliance where the rotational drive assembly omits rotational speed modifying gears and transmissions positioned between a drive motor and the blade element. In another aspect, a rotational drive assembly may be kept in axial alignment with a frozen food container via a multi portioned container mount having a float connector.

A motor for a blender may include an armature and a coil. The coil and armature operatively receive power from a power source. The blender may include a controller and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the controller, cause the controller to dynamically alter an output current to the motor. The instructions adjust the output current supplied to the motor at a given speed to reduce torque of the motor to match a preferred torque versus speed profile.
