Handy Hints when using your Snack Heroes™ Ice Cream Maker

•The time taken to make ice cream will depend on the ambient temperature of a room, how long the freezer canister has been freezing, the temperature of the freezer and the temperature of the ingredients added to the ice cream maker. As a general rule, the cooler these elements, the faster the ice cream making process. The churning process will take anywhere from 20-40 minutes based on this.

•When following recipes that require the mixture to be pre-cooked, it is best to prepare the mixture a day in advance to allow maximum chilling time.

•When preparing ice cream mixtures that do not require pre-cooking, we recommend using an electric mixer for maximum aeration, then making sure mixture is very cold before churning.

•The consistency of the ice cream/sorbets should be a spoonable consistency when finished. We recommend however, transferring your ice cream to a container and placing in the freezer for a further 1-2 hours for a firm ice cream.

•Foods such as cream, sugar, eggs and milk are often the key ingredients in an ice cream mixture. They may be substituted with similar ingredients to suit your taste and dietary requirements. For example, different varieties of cream may be used, which will produce varying flavours and textures.

•Due to an increase in volume during preparation, the maximum amount of liquid mixture should not exceed 850ml. If using your own recipes, adapt the volume of mixture to these amounts. 850ml of mixture will create approximately 1 litre of ice cream; however sorbets do not expand as much therefore making a smaller quantity.

•Alcohol inhibits the freezing process. If adding alcohol to a recipe, add when the mixture is almost frozen. The best way to judge this is when the mixture reaches the top of the paddle.

•Be aware that flavours of fruit based sorbets and ice creams may vary depending on the ripeness and sweetness of fruit or juice used.

•You can replace sugar with an artificial sweetener. We recommend using one that is in equal proportion (spoon to spoon) to sugar, such as Equal or sweeteners that suggest using half the amount of sugar such as CSR Smart sugar.

•When storing your ice cream, ensure the container is no larger than 1 litre and well sealed. Placing a piece of baking paper over the ice cream will prevent ice crystals from forming on the ice cream.

•Ice cream is best consumed within 2 weeks.

•When serving ice cream straight from the freezer, allow the ice cream to sit out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes; this will make serving easier.
