Zusammenfassung:An ice maker for a domestic refrigeration appliance has an ice tray with at least one cavity for holding and freezing liquids to form a shaped ice element. An ejection unit ejects the shaped ice element from the cavity. A drive apparatus performs a relative rotational movement between the ice tray and the ejection unit to eject the shaped ice element from the cavity. The ice maker has a twisting apparatus that is coupled to the ice tray and that can be used to twist the ice tray around to release a frozen shaped ice element in the cavity. There is also described a domestic refrigeration appliance with the ice maker and a method for ejecting shaped ice elements from the ice tray.
