Assembling Your Frozen
Dessert Maker
Unlike other frozen dessert makers in the marketplace, the Freezer Bowl of your Wolfgang Puck Dessert Maker also serves as the housing. This allows the Motor Housing to sit directly on top of the Freezer Bowl during the mixing process, making it
compact for storage, yet still providing for up to 1.5 quarts of ingredients.

Helpful Hints
1Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the freezer for more then 30 minutes. Desserts and drinks will stick to the side of the Freezer Bowl and may cause damage. Store only in a plastic airtight container. You can store desserts in the Freezer Bowl only if the Freezer Bowl is placed in the Insulated Case and kept out of the freezer. Do not place frozen desserts directly in the Insulated Case, use the Freezer Bowl or other
storage container.
2You can store frozen desserts for a limited period. Storing too long will reduce quality and flavor. After one or two weeks the structure of ice cream deteriorates and the fresh taste is lost. Several guide- lines should be followed when storing desserts in a freezer:
a.Finished frozen desserts can be kept in the Freezer Bowl in a freezer for no more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts to an airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.
b.Maintain a minimum temperature of 0° F.
c.Mark the prepare date and type of desserts on the container
d.Do not refreeze and consume desserts which have totally or partially defrosted.
3If adding fruit, always do so after the base has begun to thicken, usually after the first 15 minutes of processing. If the fruit is added to the base while it is still in its liquid form it will prevent the base from thickening to the proper consistency. Also, if using fresh fruit that has not been cooked it will tend to become as hard as an ice cube after it has been stored in the freezer. Smaller pieces of fruit that have been precooked to eliminate some of the moisture
content are recommended.
4Use different types of cream or milk for creamier ice cream. The higher the fat content of the base, the creamier your dessert will be. Most restaurants use a specialty cream that contains 40% fat. This can usually be found in specialty stores. Fat contents of various dairy products are as follows:
a.Manufacturing cream – 40% fat (specialty stores)
b.Heavy Cream - 36%
c.Light Whipping Cream - 30%
d.Light Cream - 18%
e.Half and Half - 11%
f.Whole Milk - 8%
5Always make sure sugar is completely dissolved. If it's not, ice will form around the sugar crystals.
