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
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.
