Handy Hints

•The time taken to make a frozen dessert will depend on the ambient temperature of a room, the appliance and the temperature of the ingredients added to the removable cylinder. As a general rule, the cooler these elements, the faster the frozen dessert making process. The ice-cream making process generally takes between 25-55 minutes.

•When following recipes that require the mixture to be pre-cooked, it is best to prepare the mixture a day in advance. This will allow the mixture sufficient time to cool and expand.

•When preparing dessert mixtures that do not require pre-cooking, always use an electric mixer for maximum aeration.

•Foods such as cream, sugar, eggs and milk are often the key ingredients in any 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. However, sorbets do not expand as much therefore can be up to 900ml. If using your own recipes, adapt the volume of mixture to these amounts. This 850ml will create approximately 1 Litre.

•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 cylinder.

•The flavour of a sorbet will depend greatly on the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit and/ or juice. If a fruit is too tart, add a little extra sugar in the sugar syrup: if the fruit is very ripe, decrease the sugar in the sugar syrup a little. Remember that once frozen, your recipe will not be quite as sweet as the original mixture.

•The consistency of the ice-cream/sorbets will be a spoonable consistency when finished. We recommend however placing mixture in the freezer for a further 2 hours before serving if using ice-cream cones.

•Artificial sweeteners may be used as a substitute for sugar, but must be added to cool or room temperature mixtures. If the recipe calls for sugar to be dissolved over heat and you wish to use an artificial sweetener, then you should omit this process. Simply stir the sweetener into the cool mixture until dissolved.

•We recommend that you should use an artificial sweetener that is in equal proportion to sugar.

•When storing your frozen dessert, ensure the container is no larger than 1 Litre and well sealed. This will prevent ice crystals forming inside the container.

•Frozen desserts may be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

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