Hints and Tips

■Read all the instructions and save for future reference.

■Cool all recipes before pouring into the ice cream maker.

■Flavors should be more pronounced before freezing.

■For better results, drain your yogurt.

■If adding chopped ingredients, fold into the dessert after the freezing process.

■For best results, chill nuts, fruits and garnishes before adding to the ice cream.

■For pre-cooked recipes, make the mixture one day before. This will allow it to cool completely and increase in volume.

■Recipes that do not require cooking are best made with an electric mixer to increase the mixture’s volume.

■Cream, sugar, eggs, and milk are the most common ingredients in ice cream. Substitutions with similar ingredients may be used depending upon your prefer- ence. For example, any type of cream can be used; however, there will be a difference in color, texture and flavor. The richer the cream you use, the richer the results. Heavy cream contains about 36% fat, which is the richest. Whipping cream, coffee (light) cream and half-and-half contain approximately 30%, 18%, and

510% of fat respectively.

■4 oz. of egg substitute is equivalent to two eggs.

■When adding or using eggs in any of our recipes, we recommend heating or cooking the recipe mixture.

■Artificial sweeteners can be used in place of sugar; however, they should be added when the mixture is cool, at most, room temperature. If sugar is dissolved by heat in a recipe, omit this process when using a sugar substitute. Instead, mix sweetener in until thoroughly dissolved.

■Adding one small egg white will volumize most mixes.

■If a recipe calls for alcohol, add it last, only minutes before complete freezing. Otherwise, the alcohol may impede the freezing process.

■The taste of sorbets is largely affected by the ripeness and sweetness of fruit or juice. For tart fruit, add sugar or omit sugar if fruit is very ripe. Once frozen, the ice cream will taste less sweet than the mixture.

■Long term storage of homemade ice cream in the freezer should be done in airtight containers.

■Ice cream mixtures stay fresh in the refrigerator for sev- eral days. They should be mixed well before adding to the Speedee Freeze™ canister.

■Mixture will increase in volume during the freezing process; therefore, be sure to stop 1⁄2” from the top when pouring mixture into the canister.
