E Hints & Tips
ß Your recipe should be no more than 1.5 litres of liquid, as it will expand in volume.
ß 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.
ß Some recipes use pre-cooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled overnight before using.
ß 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)
ß 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 firmer consistency,
transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.
ß You may substitute lower fat creams and milk for double cream and whole milk used in many recipes.
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.
ß You may also substitute artificial 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.
ß 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.
ß Do not fill the mixing bowl higher than 2cm away from the top. Take this into consideration if you wish to
add extra ingredients through the lid.
ß Well chilled ingredients require shorter mixing times.
ß Mixing times suggestions can vary due to ingredients and type of recipe.
ß Ingredients such as chocolate chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete.
ß Once the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the lid.
ß Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
