Never fill the cooler container more than half full. The ingredients expand when they freeze.

The following recipes are based on making 1 litre of ice cream.
•
If you use raw eggs, use fresh eggs and keep to the storage period (see "Storing ice cream").
Handy tips for recipes
•
Mix the ingredients in a separate container, not in the cooler container. If, for example, you mix sugar in
the cooler container, you can damage the inside of the container.
•
Preferably mix the ingredients with a mixer so that you get a light mixture.
•
If you have cooked the mixture, let it cool down first before you place it in the cooler container.
•
Adding alcohol slows down the freezing process.
•
Wash and dry fruit before you mix it with the other ingredients.
recipes using a custard base
One traditional method of making ice cream is
based on custard. The egg yolk, sugar, cream and
milk used to prepare this type of ice cream give it
the well-known flavour of cream ice. Although the
quantities of each ingredient used in the recipes
can vary, all use the same basic method:
1. Heat the cream and milk almost to boiling
point in a saucepan.
2. Beat the egg yolks and the sugar in a mixing
bowl to obtain a thick mix.
3. Add the warm cream/milk to the egg yolk/
sugar and stir thoroughly until all the sugar has
dissolved.
4. Pour the mix back into the sauce pan and allow
it to simmer, stirring all the time, to thicken the
mix. The mixture has reached the correct
consistency when it sticks to the back of a
spoon.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool
the mixture as quickly as possible. Add any
other ingredients, where relevant.

thickens. Remove the saucepan from the heat and
add the remaining milk, Kirsch, and blackberries.
Stir the mixture well and strain it. Then follow the
directions in "Making ice cream" from step 2.
recipes using a cream base
Ice cream prepared using a cream base allows the
flavour of the other ingredients to dominate; giving
them a fuller taste. When making ice cream on a
cream basis all you need to do is mix the cream with
the fruit and other flavourings.
