cream?
• The frozen desserts on the hardness indicator bar are only there
as a guide. Try making your soft serve on the sorbet setting.
You can turn the hardness back up if the ice cream is not hard
enough.

• Remove ice cream from ice cream bowl, place in another
air-tight container and place in freezer for a further 1–2
hours or until desired hardness is achieved.
