QUICK TIPS
(CONT.)
Soft Serve Ice Cream Tips (cont.)
• Most soft serve ice cream recipes combine cream, milk and sugar.
The type of cream you use will affect the flavor and texture.
The higher percentage of fat, the richer the ice cream and
the softer the texture.
• For example, heavy cream has at least 36% fat, followed by whipping
cream (30%), light cream (18%) and half & half (10%). You may use
any combination, but make sure the liquid measurement remains
the same.
• For example, you can make lighter ice creams by using more half &
half than cream, or by eliminating cream altogether.
• When pouring mixture into the Freezer Canister, be sure to stop at
least 1" (2.5 cm) below the recipe chute opening, as mixture will
increase in volume during the freezing process. Do not add more
than 3 cups of liquid mixture.
• Artificial sweeteners can be used as a substitute for sugar. Heat affects
the sweetness of artificial sweeteners. Only add artificial sweeteners to
mixtures that are cold or have cooled completely. When a recipe calls
for heating liquid to dilute sugar, omit the heating process and stir in
the sweetener until it dissolves.
• Mixture should be liquid when preparation starts. Do not use stiff
mixtures (i.e. whipped cream, partially frozen mixture).
• To prevent freezer burn, do not store prepared ice cream in the
Freezer Canister for more than 30 minutes uncovered .
