time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert or
drink you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your
liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the
dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer
for two or more hours.
NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer
bowl. Desserts and drinks will stick to the side of the freezer
bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a plastic airtight
container.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes
before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert or drink has begun
to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts
and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
SAFETY FEATURE
The Cuisinart® Pure Indulgence™ Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream &
Sorbet Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically
stops the unit if the motor overheats. This may occur if the dessert
or drink is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an
excessively long period of time, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.)
are in extremely large pieces. To reset the unit, turn the ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes,
you may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert or
drink.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Cleaning
Clean the freezer bowl, mixing arm and lid in warm soapy water. DO
NOT PUT FREEZER BOWL IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN
WITH ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe motor base
clean with damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Storage
DO NOT put freezer bowl in freezer if bowl is wet. DO NOT store
lid, mixing arm, or base in freezer. You may store the freezer bowl
in the freezer for convenient, immediate use. Before freezing, wrap
the bowl in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. Do not store frozen
desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the freezer for more than 30
minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts or drinks to an airtight
container for longer storage in the freezer.
RECIPE TIPS
The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious
frozen drinks and desserts. You may create or use recipes of your
own, as long as they yield no more than 2 quarts (1.9 litres).
Recipe Tips:
• Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the
mixture should be chilled overnight before using. Or, chill the
recipe over an ice bath, until it is completely cooled, before
using.
• To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and water.
Place saucepan or other container into the ice bath. Cool pre
cooked ingredients completely.
• Prior to freezing, most recipes may be stored in the refrigerator
for up to 3 days.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g. half-and-half) and milk
(reduced fat or lowfat) for heavy cream and whole milk used in
many recipes. However, keep in mind that the higher the fat
content, the richer and creamier the result. Using lower- fat
substitutes may change the taste, consistency and texture of
the dessert. When substituting, be sure to use the same volume
of the substitute as you would have used of the original item.
For example, if the recipe calls for two cups (500 ml) of cream,
use a total of two cups of the substitute [such as 1 cup (250 ml)
cream, 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk].
• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last two
minutes of the freezing process. Otherwise, the alcohol may
impede the freezing process.
• When making sorbet, be sure to test the ripeness and
sweetness of the fruit before you use it. The freezing process
reduces the sweetness of the fruit so that it will taste less sweet
than the recipe mixture. If the fruit tastes tart, add sugar to the
recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of
sugar in the recipe.
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the freezer
bowl is completely frozen before each use.
• Make sure mixing arm and lid are in place before turning on
machine.
Mix-Ins for Ice Cream
