• Frozen desserts or drinks will be ready in 20-30 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and
volume of the dessert or drink you are making. If you desire a fi rmer consistency, transfer the dessert
or the drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer for 2 or more hours.
N.B.
If the Ice cream is stuck on top of the mixing arm, stop the machine briefl y and use a spatula to
scoop the ice cream off the arm back into the freezer bowl
N.B.
Do not store the frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl. Desserts and drinks will stick to
the side of the freezer bowl and may damage the bowl, always transfer to a plastic airtight container.
D. Dismantling the Ice Cream Maker
• Remove the lid from the housing by twisting slightly out of its locked position and lifting up.
• Carefully lift out the mixing arm, followed by the freezer bowl. Serve the ice cream, or, for a fi rmer
texture, scoop into an airtight container and place in the freezer.
E. Hints & Tips
• Your recipe should be no more than 1.5 litres of liquid, as it will expand in volume.
• Processing time depends on the recipe, the amount of dessert being made and the temperature of
the ingredients being used. All recipes take between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Some recipes use pre-cooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled overnight
before using.
• Prior to freezing, most mixed recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (depending
on the use by date of the ingredients being used)
• Your Ice Cream Deluxe makes ice cream using fresh natural ingredients, i.e. without the preservatives
etc as found in commercial ice creams. Therefore it will not have the same hard consistency, for a
fi rmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for at least
2 hours before serving.
• However, the higher the fat content the richer and creamier the result. Using lower fat substitutes
may change the taste, consistency and texture of the dessert. When substituting ingredients,
ensure you use the same quantity of the substitute as the original ingredient required.
• You may also substitute artifi cial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be pre-cooked, add the
sweetener after the heating process is complete (the ingredients have been cooked). Stir the
mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
• When making sorbet, test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit before you begin. The freezing
process reduces the sweetness of the fruit so that it will not taste as sweet as the recipe mixture. If
the fruit tastes tart, add sugar to the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of
sugar in the recipe.
• Do not fi ll the mixing bowl higher than 2cm away from the top. Take this into consideration if you
wish to add extra ingredients through the lid.
• Well chilled ingredients require shorter mixing times.
• Mixing times suggestions can vary due to ingredients and type of recipe.
• Ingredients such as chocolate chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe
is complete.
• Once the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the lid.
• Hazelnuts and other similar ingredients should be roughly chopped beforehand.
