Cuisinart ICE31GE Instructions page 26

• Higher water content fruits, like melon, should be prepared in advance so some of the water can be
drained and not frozen for the best consistency.
• For melon, like cantaloupe and honeydew, where the fruit is rather firm, add fruit slowly to the
freezer bowl and only add up to 525g.
• Chopped nuts or chocolate should be added during the last few minutes of churning.
• Use very ripe fruits for the sweetest flavour. Simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water) may be used
as a sweetener.
• Peel fruit and remove seeds before cutting and freezing.
• Store remaining sorbet or ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. Before covering with a
lid, press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the sorbet or ice cream to prevent freezer burn. Remove
sorbet from freezer about 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Ice cream may be removed 10 to 15
minutes before serving.
Adding ingredients
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 2 minutes before the recipe is complete.
Once the dessert has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and
other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
Safety feature
The Iced Dessert Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the
motor overheats. This may occur if the dessert is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an
excessively long period of time, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.) are in extremely large pieces. To
reset the unit, put the On/Off switch in the OFF position and unplug the unit. Let the unit cool off.
After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert.
