WHICH AUTOMATIC CYCLE FOR WHICH RECIPE?
With your Gelato Expert's three automatic cycles, you can make all the recipes contained in your «Love
my ice cream machine» recipe book�
• You will probably opt for the gelato cycle if you want light and airy ice creams that are easy to serve
with a spatula or spoon� We particularly recommend this cycle for making custard-based ice creams,
vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, and ice creams in other flavours (caramel, hazelnut, etc�)�
• The ice cream cycle is ideal for making sorbets, fruit ice creams and yoghurt ice creams� With this
cycle, you get a "firmer" consistency�
• The granita cycle is specifically intended for the myriad fruit granitas and flavoured drinks that can
be made using the granita recipes provided in the book� All these recipes are based exclusively on
water, fruit and fruit syrups, with no milk, butter or cream� For a granita fruit syrup, use 1 part syrup to
3 parts water�
For most of the recipes, you can therefore choose between the Italian and homemade ice cream cycles,
depending on whether you prefer a light and airy consistency or a firmer texture�
The silkiness of your ice cream also depends on the fat content of your ingredients (milk, cream) and the
number of eggs you use (see Golden Rules p� 32)
CONSISTENCY
• Commercial ice creams have a soft and creamy consistency� If you prefer a firmer texture, we
recommend pre-chilling your ingredients in the refrigerator for 2 hours�
STORAGE
• You can freeze all your ice creams and sorbets� Sorbets should be eaten within 1 week, but ice cream
made from cooked ingredients (custard base) will keep for 2 weeks in the freezer�
• To make it easier to freeze your ice cream or sorbet, we recommend dividing it between several small
containers (e�g� 1�5 litres in three 0�5 litre containers)�
• Homemade ice creams and frozen yoghurt do not contain any chemicals or preservatives, so they may
harden after a few days in the freezer� To achieve the ideal scooping consistency, simply take your
container out of the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving, leaving the lid on�
• Never put a defrosted or semi-defrosted ice cream back in the freezer.
