Serving
The processed mixture can be served immediately fro soft-serve, gelato-like texture, or put
in the freezer to harden, if you like hard ice cream. Use a wooden spoon or plastic or rubber
spatula to remove the mixture. If you wish to harden the mixture, stir it to blend hard and
soft portions. You can harden it in the cream can, or spoon it into plastic freezer containers,
allowing 1/2 inch for expansion. Pack mixture down to exclude air pockets, and place waxed
paper or plastic wrap over the mouth of the container before putting a lid in place.
Place covered can or containers in the freezer for 1-2 hours. It may be necessary to
temporarily lower the freezer temperature to get the mixture to set firmly.
Tips:
More salt (up to a full box) = faster processing and coarser texture
Less salt (down to 1/2 box) = slower processing and finer texture
Notes: Be sure to wash the cream can, dasher, can lid and support arm in hot soapy water
before and after each use. Parts are not dishwasher safe.
