FREEZING TIME AND BOWL
PREPARATION
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin
your recipe. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl
completely. The length of time needed to reach the frozen
state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is
recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of
your freezer where it is coldest. Be sure to place the freezer
bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.
Generally, freezing time is between 16 and 24 hours. Shake
the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you
do not hear the liquid within the bowl moving, the cooling
liquid is therefore frozen. For the most convenient frozen
desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer
at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing from
the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been
removed from the freezer.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to -18°C to ensure
proper freezing of all foods.
ASSEMBLING PADDLE
ASSEMBLY
1. Set paddle holder on counter with open end down.
2. Insert the desired paddle into the paddle holder, setting
the wide tab on the bottom of the paddle into the
opening on the bottom of the paddle holder.
3. Push the locking bar firmly onto the ball on top of the
paddle. Press down until you hear and feel it click into
place.
4. Turn the locking bar clockwise, until it clicks into position
under the tabs on the top of the paddle holder.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERT
1. Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or
from your own recipe. If you use your own recipe, be
sure it yields less than 1.5 litres.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. Place freezer
bowl on the center of the base.
NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has
been removed from freezer. Use it immediately after
removing from freezer.
3. Place assembled paddle holder with selected paddle
onto the raised hub in the bottom of the freezing bowl.
4. Place lid on base and rotate clockwise until tabs on lid
lock in place on base.
5. Press On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will
begin to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout.
NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the freezer
bowl after unit is turned on.
7. Ice cream and frozen desserts will be done in 15 to 25
minutes. The average blending and freezing time for
fresh fruit desserts is about 15 minutes. The time will
depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you
are making. When the mixture has thickened to your
liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency,
transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in
the freezer for two or more hours.
NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl.
Desserts will stick to the sides of the freezer bowl and may
damage the bowl. Store only in a freezer-safe, airtight
container.
FROZEN FRESH FRUIT
DESSERT TIPS
For frozen fresh fruit desserts, the fruits that work best and
require only minimal preparation include softer items like
bananas, mangos, strawberries, kiwis, apricots and
peaches.
Firm items like apples, pears or unripe peaches should first
be cooked until soft, to achieve the smoothest, frozen
results.
Cooking fruit is an opportunity to infuse it with flavors and
spices like cinnamon and nutmeg or fresh herbs like mint or
basil. If cooking fruit, chill before adding to the freezer bowl.
Harder items like coconut, hard-seeded items like
pomegranate, pulpy items like citrus, or fibrous items like
pineapple should be blended first or cut up into small
pieces and mixed in with other creamier fruits like bananas,
5
mangoes or strawberries for best results.
For best results, cut fruit into 3 - 5cm pieces.
Four cups of fruit is the recommended average for
processing at one time.
Fruit such as nectarines, apricots, grapes, cherries, berries
do not need to be peeled and extra flavour, colour &
nutrients will result. It may be that all the skin is broken
down however this adds to the fresh fruit appearance.
Processing 4 cups of fruit usually takes about 15 to 20
minutes. Time will vary based on type of ingredients used,
as well as amount.
Frozen fruit dessert consistency can be adjusted by
adjusting the freeze time. The longer the fruit is processed,
the smoother the consistency. For slushy-style drinks, run it
for the least amount of time and add juice as a mix-in
during the last couple of minutes (see the Mango Slushy
recipe on page 12 as an example).
Most fruits can be ready to serve in as little as 15 minutes.
The higher the water content, the faster the freeze. For
instance, watermelon is ready in 10 minutes.
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 3 cups.
Mix-ins, like chopped nuts or chocolate, should be added
during the last few minutes of processing.
Use very ripe fruits for the sweetest flavor. Simple syrup
(equal parts sugar and water, see recipe on page 11) may
be used as a sweetener.
Peel fruit and remove seeds before cutting and preparing in
the “fruit scoop” bowl.
When removing the frozen sorbet or ice cream try to avoid
using metal spoons at it may scrap and damage the bowl.
Ideally use of plastic spoon or spatula.
Store remaining sorbet or ice cream in an airtight container
in the freezer. Before covering with 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 Cuisinart
®
Fruit Scoop
™
Frozen 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.
CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean the freezer bowl, mixing paddle and lid in warm,
soapy water. DO NOT PUT FREEZER BOWL IN THE
DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN WITH ABRASIVE
CLEANERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe motor base clean with
damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Storage
DO NOT put freezer bowl in freezer if bowl is wet. DO NOT
store lid, mixing paddle, or base in freezer. You may store
the freezer bowl in the freezer for convenient, immediate
use. Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl in the
freezer for more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen
desserts to a freezer-safe, airtight container for longer
storage in the freezer.
Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.

RECIPE TIPS
The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for
delicious frozen desserts. You may create or use recipes of
your own, as long as they yield no more than 1.5 litres.
• Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart
®
Fruit Scoop™ Frozen
Dessert Maker use pure, fresh ingredients. Because of
this, the desserts and drinks do not have the same
characteristics as commercially prepared frozen desserts
and drinks. Most store-bought versions use gums and
preservatives to make them firmer. If you desire a firmer
consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight
container and store in the freezer until desired
consistency is reached, usually two or more hours.
• Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results,
the mixture should be chilled overnight before using.
Or, chill the recipe over an ice bath until it is completely
cooled, before using.
• To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and
water. Place saucepan or other container into the ice
bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
• Prior to freezing, most recipes may be stored in the
refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and half),
milk (reduced fat or low-fat) as well as non-dairy milks
(soy, rice) for thickened cream and whole milk used in
many recipes. However, keep in mind that the higher the
fat content, the richer and creamier the result. Using
lower-fat substitutes may change the taste, consistency
and texture of the dessert. When substituting, be sure to
use the same volume of the substitute as you would have
used of the original item. For example, if the recipe calls
for 2 cups of cream, use a total of 2 cups of the substitute
(such as 1 cup cream, 1 cup whole milk).
• You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If the
recipe is to be precooked, add the sweetener after the
heating process is complete and ingredients have cooked.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last
2 minutes of the freezing process. Otherwise, the alcohol
may impede the freezing process.
• When making sorbet, be sure to test the ripeness and
sweetness of the fruit before you use it. The freezing
process reduces the sweetness of the fruit so that it will
taste less sweet than the recipe mixture. If the fruit tastes
tart, add sugar to the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or
sweet, reduce the amount of sweetener such as honey or
sugar in the recipe.
• The following Cuisinart recipes will yield up to 1.5 litres of
dessert. When pouring ingredients in through the
ingredient spout, DO NOT fill the freezer bowl higher than
7cm from the top of the freezer bowl. The ingredients will
increase in volume during the freezing process.
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the
freezer bowl is completely frozen before each use.
Additional freezer bowls may be purchased on the
Cuisinart website ( www.cuisinart.com.au ).
• Make sure mixing paddle and lid are in place before
turning on machine.
• For fresh fruit frozen dessert tips see page 4.

Salted Caramel Ice Cream
This decadent combination will satisfy your sweet and
salty cravings.
Makes about 3 cups
Ice Cream Base:
300ml full cream milk
300ml thickened cream
cup caster sugar, divided
Pinch salt
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
Caramel Sauce:
½ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons water (enough to cover sugar to
make it seem like wet sand)
¼ cup thickened cream
40g unsalted butter
Flaked sea salt, for garnish
1.
In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat,
whisk together the milk, cream, half of the sugar, salt
and vanilla extract Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
2. While the milk/cream mixture is heating, combine
the yolks and remaining sugar in a medium bowl.
Mix using a hand mixer or whisk on low speed, beat
until mixture is pale and thick.
3.
Once the milk/cream mixture has come to a slight boil,
whisk about 1⁄3 of the hot mixture into the yolk/ sugar
mixture. Add another 1⁄3 of the mixture, then return the
combined mixture to the saucepan. Using a wooden
spoon, stir the mixture constantly over low heat until it
thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This
mixture must NOT boil or the yolks will overcook – the
process should take about 10 - 15 minutes.
4. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and
bring to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate a
minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Once the ice cream base has sufficiently cooled,
prepare the caramel sauce. Put the sugar, salt and
water into a heavy based, small saucepan set over
medium heat. Keep an eye on the caramel and allow
to cook until amber in colour (the colour of maple
syrup). Remove from heat and stir in the cream and
butter (it will froth a bit, so add it slowly). Whisk
together and then set aside until ready to use. Allow
to cool to room temperature.
6. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the caramel sauce and
add the rest to the ice cream base; whisk well to
combine.
