Helpful Hints

• Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-
cooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead.
This will allow the mixture to cool completely and
adds volume.
• Uncooked recipes will yield best results when
an electric mixer is used to cream the eggs and
sugar. This helps increase volume in the ice cream
mixture. Eggs must be cooked properly. See our
eggbased recipes for instructions.
• Most ice cream recipes are a combination of
cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You can use any
type of cream you like, but 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%), coffee or light cream (18%) and half & half
(10%). Any combination can be used, but make
sure the liquid measurement remains the same. For
example, lighter ice creams can be made by using
more milk than cream, or by eliminating cream
altogether. Skim milk may be used, but there will
be a noticeable difference in texture and taste.
• The ice cream mixture will stay fresh in the
refrigerator for several days. Be sure to mix well
before adding to the Freezer Bowl.
