HELPFUL TIPS

TASTE
Finished ice cream will always taste less sweet than the initial mixture. You
may adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to suit your taste.
Artificial sweeteners may be used in place of sugar. Use
the following measurements for reference:
• 1 packet of sweetener = 2 tsp. of sugar
• 6 packets of sweetener = ¼ cup of sugar
• 8 packets of sweetener = ¹/
• 12 packets of sweetener = ½ cup of sugar
TEXTURE
To ensure that ice crystals do not form in ice cream mixture, DO NOT
stop the churning process until the ice cream is ready.
Recipes with high amount of salt can cause the mixture to freeze too
quickly, which can also cause ice crystals to form in the ice cream.
CONSISTENCY
Homemade ice cream generally has a thick, milkshake texture. If you
prefer a thicker or more firm consistency, try one of the following:
• Place ice cream mixture in freezer to harden.
• Recipes that call for alcohol may inhibit the freezing process. Be sure to
add any alcohol during the last few minutes of the freezing cycle.
JAMMING
If the Dasher gets jammed and does not revolve properly, try the following:
• Check to make sure that the Dasher is properly attached, that the cord is
plugged into outlet and that the unit is flipped to the "ON" position.
• Ice Cream recipes that include hard ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips
may cause the Dasher to become lodged in the Freezer Bowl. It is best to add
hard ingredients during the last few minutes of the churning process.
• DO NOT stop the churning process until ice cream is finished. Stopping in the middle of
the process can cause the ice cream to harden and restrict the movement of the Dasher.
FREEZING
DO NOT operate the unit longer than required. If the mixture has not yet
achieved the slush consistency or has thawed again after 30 minutes, do
not continue. Possible reasons for mixture not chilling or freezing:
• The Freezer Bowl was not cold enough.
• The mixture was too warm. Make sure that the ingredients that you add are chilled and
not warm, lukewarm or of room temperature before adding to the Freezer Bowl.
