Please consider that preparation time of your ice cream depends on multiple
factors: Room temperature, temperature of ingredients and whether or not the
appliance is pre-cooled. The cooler the ingredients, the quicker ice cream pre-
paration will be. Usually, preparing ice cream will take approx. 50 minutes.
•
If you are preparing a recipe using warm ingredients, preparing the ice cream mix-
ture one day in advance is advisable. If this is impossible, you should let the mix-
ture cool out for at least 4 hours before putting it into the ice cream machine.
•
Always remove the ice cream bowl from the machine when putting in the in-
gredients. Only put back the ice cream bowl after that.
•
The recipes listed in this recipe book use cream, milk, eggs and sugar. When re-
quired due to health, allergies or a diet, similar foods can be used to replace these
ingredients. However, please consider that this might change the taste and con-
sistency of the ice cream.
•
Most ice cream varieties increase in volume during cooling and churning. When
not mentioned otherwise, all ice cream recipes listed in this recipe book will re-
sult in approx. 1 litre of frozen dessert. Should you desire to prepare other ice
cream recipes, use a maximum amount of 700ml of ingredients to ensure that
the mixture has enough room to gain in volume.
•
Alcohol inhibits the mixture from freezing. Thus, it is advisable to add alcohol to
the mixture just at the end of the preparation process.
•
At the end of preparation, the consistency of the ice cream will usually be so soft
that you can easily poke a spoon into it. If you want to serve the ice cream as
scoops or on waffles or cones, putting it into the freezer for another two hours
before serving is recommended.
•
If you want to store the ice cream in the freezer, an air-tight container should
be used. This will prevent ice crystals from forming. Covering the ice cream with
baking paper will also counteract ice crystals.
•
Note: Never place the ice cream bowl in the freezer!
•
Homemade ice cream will taste best when consumed fresh, meaning within one
week after preparation. However, it may be stored for up to two weeks in the
freezer.
•
If you want to serve ice cream directly from the freezer, you should let it stand
at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.
