Tips

TIPS FOR BETTER ICE CREAM MAKING

NOTE

Time taken to make frozen desserts can vary depending on the ambient room temperature, temperature of the ingredients and pre cooling the machine.

The cooler the ingredients the faster the ice cream process. As a general guideline it takes around 50 minutes to make ice cream.

1. When making crème anglaise and recipes that require heating ingredients its always a good idea to make this the day before or cool ingredients for at least 4 hours prior to making ice cream.
2. Always insert the paddle before adding ingredients.
3. Ice cream recipes stated in this instruction booklet use ingredients such as cream, milk, eggs and sugar, these ingredients can be substituted with similar ingredients to suit taste or dietary requirements. Note taste and flavors will vary if using different ingredients.
4. Due to aeration of ingredients do not exceed 3 ½ cups of liquid ingredients.
5. Alcohol inhibits the freezing process. It’s best to add alcohol towards the end of the ice cream making process.
6. The consistency of the frozen dessert made is a spoonable mixture. Please note that if you are serving in cones or on plates that it’s best to place the ice cream in the freezer for 2 hours prior to serving.
7. When storing your frozen dessert in the freezer, ensure that the container is air tight and well sealed. This will prevent ice crystals forming. Putting a plastic film directly over the top of the frozen dessert will also help with this.

• Frozen desserts can be stored for up to weeks.
• If serving a dessert from the freezer its best to let the dessert sit at room temperature for minutes prior to serving.

TIPS FOR MAKING CRÈME ANGLAISE (CUSTARD BASE)

• Traditionally creamy textured ice cream is made from a crème anglaise, custard base.
• Below are tips on achieving the prefect crème anglaise time after time.
• Make sure all ingredients are fresh.
• Eggs are best at room temperature for making a custard base.
• Ensure that you measure all your ingredients first and have them ready for when you are starting to cook.
• Either use a wire whisk or electric hand beater, beat eggs yolks and sugar until they are light and creamy, and double in size. For best results whip until the mixture becomes pale yellow in color.
• Use a heavy bottom sauce pan when cooking crème anglaise.
• When heating the milk you don’t want to boil it. A good guide to know when to remove the milk from the heat is when little bubbles start to form around the edge of the milk.
• It is best to now pour half of the heated milk into the egg mixture while whisking, then pour the mix back into the original pot with the milk and continue to stir with a wooden spoon at the same time until the two are well combined.
• Ensure that the mixture is constantly stirred with a wooden spoon until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon. To test using the back of the spoon, coat the spoon in the crème anglaise. Run your finger horizontally through the mixture on the back of the spoon.

If the finger mark stays then the mixture is thick enough.

• Do not overheat the mixture, as it can separate or curdle.
• Do not leave crème anglaise unattended while cooking.
• Crème anglaise will take 5-15 minutes to thicken depending on quantities etc.
• Always allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before placing into the fridge.
• To cool the mixture quickly it can be put in a metal bowl and then into an ice bath and stirred constantly until well chilled.

THE VITAL INGREDIENTS

Ingredients

Home made ice cream is now easy to make at home and with only kitchen ingredients required to make a basic vanilla ice cream.

Eggs

All the recipes in this book were tested using standard large eggs. The egg gives ice cream volume, stabilizes and emulsifies the mixture. The yolk of the egg contains lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier to bond with the fat globules.

NOTE

Avoid using older eggs, especially if you are not cooking the mixture. Pregnant women are not advised to consume ice cream containing raw eggs.

Sugar

Granulated sugar was used in all the recipes as it dissolves easily and to reduce crystallization when large ice crystals form) from occurring.

As a general rule, when it comes to sugar in ice cream, more sugar added will lower the freezing point of the water inside the mixture, which prevents your frozen dessert from forming a large hard clump that is difficult to scoop.

NOTE

Too much sugar in the frozen dessert mix may result in dessert not freezing properly.

Milk

Whole milk was used for all milk based recipes.

Lower fat varieties can be substituted but the same result will not be achieved.

Cream

Heavy cream was used in all the recipes, creams that are thickened usually have additives such as gelatine (of animal origin to thicken and prolong the creams life).

The cream gives fattiness and a smoother texture to the ice cream.

Care & Cleaning

Ensure that the ice cream machine is turned off by pressing the POWER button. The ice cream machine is off when the ‘START/PAUSE’ button ’s LCD light is no longer illuminating red. Remove the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the ice cream machine compressor to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL HOUSING

1. Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing and the LCD screen with a soft damp cloth. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the outer surface or LCD screen, before cleaning. Do not use a dry paper towel or cloth to clean the LCD screen, or use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad to clean any part of the ice cream machine as these will scratch the surface.
2. If over-spill of cream, milk, chocolate etc. occurs in the interior chamber, carefully remove them using a soft, damp cloth.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet.

NOTE

Never immerse the stainless steel housing in water or place in the dishwasher. Take care not to allow water or cleaning fluids to seep under the buttons or LCD screen on the control panel.

CLEANING THE LID

The lid can be cleaned in warm soapy water, using a soft sponge. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the surface. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to placing into the ice cream machine.

CLEANING THE ICE CREAM BOWL

Fill the ice cream bowl up half way with warm soapy water. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Allow to stand for 10-20 minutes.

NOTE

Ice Cream Bowl is NOT dishwasher safe.

To clean the ice cream chamber ensure that the machine is at room temperature. Wipe inside chamber with a damp cloth and soapy water.

Once clean, dry thoroughly.

CLEANING THE PADDLE

Wash the paddle with warm soapy water.

Using the bottle brush supplied insert this in the central part of the paddle and spin while plunging in and out to remove all residue.

Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before reassembling the ice cream machine

NOTE

Paddle is dishwasher safe on the top rack ONLY.

STORAGE

1. Ensure the ice cream machine is turned OFF. Remove power plug from the power outlet.
2. Ensure the ice cream machine and all accessories are completely clean and dry.
3. Place the ice cream bowl and paddle into the chamber.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	EASY SOLUTION
Ice cream won't freeze	• Compressor is not chilling or on. • Alcohol in ice cream? Added too much or too soon. • Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the machine. We recommend a minimum of 6 inches around the vents. • Too much sugar in the mix.
Paddle won't move	• If the PRE-COOL function is used and the bowl was wet then ice may have formed in bowl. Turn unit off and check for ice. Allow to defrost and dry thoroughly. • Check to see if center spindle is inserted correctly into plastic paddle; if this is not the case then there is an internal issue - call Breville Consumer Support.
Lid will not lock into position	• Paddle and bowl are not positioned properly - make sure the handle of the bowl sits within the grooves and paddle is inserted properly.
Frozen dessert not frozen in allocated time	• Dessert mixture was too warm when placed in the ice cream bowl for time allocated in manual setting.
Can't remove bowl insert after churning	• Outside of bowl may have been wet. Turn unit off and wait approximately 5 minutes for defrosting to take place.
How do I make soft serve ice cream?	• The frozen desserts on the hardness indicator bar are only there as a guide. Try making your soft serve on the sorbet setting. You can turn the hardness back up if the ice cream is not hard enough.
I want my ice cream even harder!	• Remove ice cream from ice cream bowl, place in another air-tight container and place in freezer for a further 60 minutes or until desired hardness is achieved.
Can I put my mix-ins into the custard base?	• Yes. Put your mix-ins at the end when prompted. • Note: often ingredients such as fruits may disintegrate during the churning process if added too early.
My ice cream maker seems to be vibrating briefly?	• The internal compressor is mounted on special rubber mounts to reduce the noise and vibration during operation. When cooling is not required the compressor will automatically turn off and a small amount of vibration for 1-2 seconds is normal.
The controls don't work?	• The child lock may be on. Press and hold the HOLD button for 2 seconds to disengage the locking.
The ice cream maker does not remember my last setting?	• The internal computer will only remember the settings once 'START | PAUSE' has been activated.
The temperature is reading in Celsius	• Press button to change temperature to Fahrenheit.
Mixer not churning but the compressor is on	• The PRE-COOL is activated. • To preserve the life of the compressor there is a self timer on the compressor. It may take take up to 3 minutes for the compressor to activate.
When the temperature registers on the LCD screen where is it coming from?	• The registered temperature on the LCD is the temperature of the compressor as it is cooling.
My ice cream is icy? Why?	• Some desserts have a higher water content in them which will make the mixture more icy.
I pulled the ice cream out of the freezer and it is very hard. Why?	• Home made ice cream will always be harder than store bought ice cream as it contains less air. We suggest removing the ice cream for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Can I place the ice cream bowl into the freezer?	• We do not suggest placing the ice cream bowl in the freezer as the ice cream will freeze solid and be very difficult to scoop out. • Do not use any sharp or metal utensils to scoop the ice cream from the bowl as it will scratch the coating.
