RECIPE TIPS
The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious frozen drinks
and desserts. You may create or use recipes of your own, as long as they yield
no more than 1 quart.
Recipe Tips
• Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart
Because of this, the desserts and drinks do not have the same characteristics
as commercially prepared frozen desserts and drinks. Most store-bought
versions use gums and preservatives to make them firmer. If you desire a
firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container
and store in the freezer until desired consistency is reached, usually two
or more hours.
• Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should
be chilled overnight before using. Or, chill the recipe over an ice bath, until it is
completely cooled, before using.
• To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and water. Place saucepan
or other container into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
• Prior to freezing, most recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to
3 days.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and half) and milk (reduced fat

or lowfat) for heavy cream and whole milk used in many recipes. However,
keep in mind that 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, be sure to use the same volume of the sub-
stitute as you would have used of the original item. For example, if the recipe
calls for 2 cups of cream, use a total of 2 cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup
cream, 1 cup whole milk).
• You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be pre-
cooked, add the sweetener after the heating process is complete and ingredi-
ents have cooked. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last 2 minutes
of mixing. Otherwise, the alcohol may impede the freezing process.
• When making sorbet, be sure to test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit
before you use it. The freezing process reduces the sweetness of the fruit so
that it will taste less sweet than 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.
• The Cuisinart recipes listed below will yield up to 1 quart of dessert or drink.
When pouring ingredients in through the ingredient spout, DO NOT fill the
freezer bowl higher than ¼" from the top of the freezer bowl. The ingredients
will increase in volume during the freezing process.
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the freezer bowl is
completely frozen before each use.
• Make sure mixing arm and lid are in place and that you have chosen the
one- or two-bowl button position before turning on machine.
• Well-chilled mixtures may require shorter mixing times.
