RECIPE TIPS

The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for

delicious frozen desserts. You may create or use recipes of

your own, as long as they yield no more than 1

quarts.

• Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart

Automatic Frozen

Yogurt–Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker use pure, fresh

ingredients. 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 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),

milk (reduced fat or lowfat) as well as non-dairy milks

(soy, rice) 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 substitute as you would have

used of the original item. For example, if the recipe calls

for two cups of cream, use a total of two 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 precooked, add the sweetener after the

heating process is complete and ingredients have cooked.

Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.

• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last

two minutes of the freezing process. 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

quarts of dessert. When pouring ingredients in through

the ingredient spout, DO NOT fill the freezer bowl higher

than

-inch 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.

Additional freezer bowls may be purchased on the

Cuisinart web site (www.cuisinart.com).

• Make sure mixing paddle and lid are in place before

turning on machine.
