poses no risk to the user as it is safely
contained in a sealed system within
the product. If the product is dropped or damaged it is
possible for the gas to escape. In such circumstances the
gas could ignite if exposed to sources of ignition such as
naked ames.
When transporting this product take care to ensure that the
product is not dropped or damaged.
If the refrigerant gas escapes or leaks are suspected:
Immediately ventilate the room by opening doors and
windows for several minutes.
Avoid naked ames and other potential ignition sources.
Do NOT use the product if you suspect a leak of the
refrigerant gas.
Do Not dispose of this product in household waste.
Instead it should be handed over to an appropriate
collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment.

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 bases do not go over the top dasher on mixing paddle.
Recipe Tips
•
Always re-whisk the mixture after chilling to be sure all
ingredients are well combined. While chilling the mixture is not
required, this step will prevent any “ice” or “fat” crystals from
forming during the freezing process as resting it in a chilled
environment helps bind the ingredients together.
• Some recipes use cooked ingredients. For best results, the
mixture should be chilled overnight before using.
• You can replace thickened cream and full-cream milk with
lighter options, such as reduced-fat cream or light 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.
• You may substitute other sweeteners for sugar. Stir the mixture
thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
NOTE: Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart Freeze Ease Pro Ice
Cream & Gelato Maker use fresh ingredients, because of this,
the desserts do not have the same characteristics as store
bought desserts. Most store bought ice creams use gums and
preservatives to make them firmer. If you desire a firmer
consistency, transfer the dessert to an air tight container and
store in the freezer until the desired consistency is reached.
• If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer to an airtight
container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from
freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
• 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
additional sugar to the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet,
reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
• Make sure the mixing paddle and lid are in place before turning
on machine.
Adding Mix-Ins
• Ingredients such as chocolate chips and nuts should be added
about 5 minutes before the freezing process is complete. You
want it to still be soft enough to be able to fully incorporate
into the frozen mixture.
• To add a chocolate swirl to ice cream, gelato, or frozen yoghurt,
drizzle in hot fudge or melted chocolate. The melted chocolate
will harden once it makes contact with the freezing ingredients
so add it in a slow drizzle to ensure that it does not clump.

12
Fresh Mint with Chocolate Cookies
Always a winning combination, fresh mint and chocolate take the
forefront in this rich and creamy ice cream.
MAKES ABOUT 6 CUPS (TWELVE ½-CUP SERVINGS)
2 cups full cream milk
2 cups thickened cream
1 cup caster sugar, divided
pinch salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups packed fresh mint leaves
5 large egg yolks
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, e.g., Oreo
(about 8 cookies)
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cream, half of
the white sugar, salt and vanilla. Place over medium heat and
bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and add the mint
leaves; let steep for 20 to 30 minutes. If you desire a milder
mint flavour, remove and discard the mint leaves after
steeping, but for a more intense ice cream we recommend
blending the milk/mint mixture using an immersion blender.
After steeping, reheat the mixture to a gentle simmer over low
heat.
2. While the milk/cream mixture is reheating, combine the yolks
and remaining sugar in a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer on
low speed or a whisk, beat until mixture is pale and thick.
3. Once the milk/cream mixture has come to a gentle boil, whisk
about ¹∕ ³ of the hot mixture into the yolk/sugar mixture. Add
another ⅓ 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 only take a few
minutes.
4. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a jug or
bowl. Cover the mixture with a layer of plastic wrap directly
onto the surface to prevent a ‘skin’ forming as the mixture
cools and stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate
for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. Whisk mixture together
again before pouring into the ice cream maker.
5. Pour the mixture into the mixing bowl of the Cuisinart
®
