Step 1
Place ripe fruit and a sugar syrup into the processing bowl and process until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a plastic dish and freeze until just starting to set. Return frozen mixture to the processing bowl and using the quad blade, process using PULSE button until smooth. Return mixture to freezer as before and repeat this process

EMULSIFYING DISC
Egg whites
NOTE
Although the quad blade can be used for egg whites, for best results we recommend the emulsifying disc is used.
Ensure the processing bowl and emulsifying blade are clean, dry and free of any fat residue.
Place a minimum of 6 egg whites and a pinch of salt into the processing bowl. Process using the START/PAUSE button until egg whites are foamy (about 1 minute). With the motor running, slowly add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to help stabilise the egg white foam.
