Using the Ice Cream Maker Attachment

To Use:

IMPORTANT: Pouring batter into the freeze bowl before starting the mixer may cause the batter to freeze prematurely and lock the dasher.

1.Store the freeze bowl in the freezer for a minimum of 15 hours.

2.Prepare ice cream batter in advance (see “Tips for Perfect Ice Cream”).

3.Assemble and engage the freeze bowl, dasher, and drive assembly.

4.Set the mixer to speed 1 (STIR) and pour the ice cream batter into the freeze bowl; mix 20-30 minutes, or to desired consistency. Add any solid ingredients such as fruits, nuts, candies, or chocolate chips, after 12-15 minutes

of the mixing process.

NOTE: If the dasher begins to slip and make a clicking noise, this is an audible indicator that the ice cream is done.

5.Remove the dasher and the freeze bowl and, using a rubber spatula or a plastic

or wooden spoon, transfer ice cream to dessert dishes or to an airtight container for storage.

NOTE: The Ice Cream Maker Attachment will create a soft-consistency ice cream. For firmer consistency, store ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for

2-4 hours.

IMPORTANT: Do not store ice cream in the freeze bowl in the freezer. Prying hard ice cream out of the freeze bowl with metal scoops or utensils may damage the freeze bowl.

Tips for Making Perfect Ice Cream

The freeze bowl must be completely frozen to make ice cream or other frozen desserts.

For best results, store the freeze bowl in the back of your freezer where the temperature is coldest for at least 15 hours. Adjusting your freezer to its coldest setting will help the freeze bowl make firmer ice cream faster.

Storing the freeze bowl in the freezer at all times allows you the flexibility to make your favorite frozen desserts on a whim.

For recipes that need to be pre-cooked, allow the mixture to cool completely in the refrigerator.

All batter recipes need to be completely chilled in the refrigerator before making ice cream.

Most ice cream recipes call for a combination of cream, milk, eggs, and sugar. The type of cream you choose will determine how rich in flavor and how creamy the texture of the finished result. The higher percentage of fat in the cream, the richer and creamier your ice cream will be.

Any combination can be used, as long as the liquid measurement stays the same. Lighter ice creams can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating cream. Skim milk will work, but there will be a noticeable

difference in texture.

36%

Whipping Cream

When mixing an ice cream recipe that calls for solid ingredients such as fruits, nuts, candies, or chocolate chips, it is best to wait until the final two minutes of the mixing process to add them.

Ice cream making is a two-part process: conversion and ripening. Mixing batter into ice cream is the conversion process in which the ice cream consistency will be similar to soft serve. The ripening process takes place in the freezer, where the ice cream will harden over a period of 2-4 hours.
