Important:
The machine must be switched on before
the ice cream or sorbet mixture is added,
as otherwise the mixture may freeze solid,
making it impossible for the paddle to turn!
8. Add the ice cream or sorbet mixture by
pouring it through the hole (9) in the lid.
Important:
When pouring mixture into the machine,
always ensure that there is at least 2.5 cm
between the mixture and the top of the
bowl, as the mixture expands as it freezes.
9. Now set the paddle to churn the
mixture until it reaches the desired
consistency. This normally takes
approximately 30 minutes.
Important:
•
If the machine runs for more than
approximately 40 minutes at a time, the
motor will stop automatically (the built-
in thermostat will switch the motor off).
Once the motor has cooled down, it will
start up again automatically. Therefore
we recommend that you switch the
motor off manually after a maximum of
30 minutes’ running.
•
If the mixture becomes too thick, the
machine will automatically change the
direction of rotation to avoid
overheating. This also indicates that the
ice cream is ready.
10. Once the ice cream is ready, switch off
the machine and remove the lid. The
finished ice cream is quite soft in
consistency, so it can be served using a
spoon. If you wish the ice cream to
have a firmer consistency, transfer the
bowl to the freezer (at -18ºC) for 30-60
minutes, depending on how firm you
want it to be.
RECIPES TO INSPIRE YOU
Before you start making ice cream
You will achieve a better result if you follow
these general instructions:
•
Use caster sugar, as it dissolves easily.
•
Make sure you mix all the ingredients
together before you start to churn them
in the machine.
•
Use ripe fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly,
peel it, and remove any pips or stones
as necessary.
•
Use pure fruit juice. This produces a
stronger and richer flavour.
•
Only fill the bowl halfway up.
You can use the ice cream maker to make
many different types of ice cream, all from
the same basic recipe. Based on this ice
cream, you can vary the flavours as much
as you want:
Basic recipe, dairy ice cream
3 pasteurised egg yolks
350 ml milk
70 g sugar
Mix all the ingredients together in the bowl,
and churn the mixture well using the ice
cream maker.
Tips!
Depending on how creamy you want the
ice cream to be, you can replace the milk
either partially or wholly with double cream.
You can also substitute yoghurt for the milk
to make yoghurt ice cream instead.
Vanilla ice cream
Add a teaspoon of vanilla sugar or a few
drops of vanilla essence to the basic
recipe.
Banana ice cream
Add 300 g mashed banana, 1⁄2 teaspoon
lemon juice and a teaspoon of vanilla sugar
or a few drops of vanilla essence to the
basic recipe.
