MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS OR DRINKS

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
DO NOT immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it with a moist cloth. Wash the lid,
freezer bowl and mixing arm in warm soapy water to remove any dust or residue
from the manufacturing and shipping process. DO NOT clean any of the parts with
abrasive cleaners or hard implements.
FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe.
The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your
freezer is. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer
bowl in the freezer at all times. You can take it out any time for immediate use.
In general, freezing time is between 6 hours and 22 hours. To determine whether
the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving, the cooling
liquid is frozen. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic bag to
prevent freezer burn. We recommend that you place the freezer bowl in the back of
your freezer where it is coldest.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe
is complete. Once the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients
through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a
chocolate chip.
1. Use Cuisinart’s recipes from the pages that follow, or use your own recipe, making
sure it yields 2 quarts or less. Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than
the top. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process. For
best results, prepare ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if you have
wrapped freezer bowl.) Place freezer bowl on the centre 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 mixing arm in freezer bowl. Arm does not fit tightly. It just rests in the centre
of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid on base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lid to rest on base in multiple
positions (see diagram).
5.Turn the On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout.
7. Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in 25–35 minutes. The time will depend
on the recipe and volume of the dessert or drink you are making. When the
mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency,
transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer for
two or more hours.

NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl. Desserts and

SAFETY FEATURE
The Cuisinart®Pure Indulgence™Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker is equipped with
a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the motor overheats. This may occur if the
dessert or drink 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,
turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you
may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert or drink.
• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last two minutes of the
• When making sorbet, be sure to test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit before
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Cleaning
Clean the freezer bowl, mixing arm and lid in warm soapy water. DO NOT PUT
FREEZER BOWL IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN WITH ABRASIVE
CLEANSERS 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 arm,
or base in freezer. You may store the freezer bowl in the freezer for convenient,
immediate use. Before freezing, wrap the bowl in a plastic bag to prevent freezer
burn. Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the freezer for
more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts or drinks to an airtight
container for longer storage in the freezer.
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the freezer bowl is
• Make sure mixing arm and lid are in place before turning on machine.
Mix-Ins for Ice Cream
Turn any of the “plain” flavours of ice cream into something fun by adding up to 1 cup
(250 ml) of any of the following [or a mixture of 2 or more totaling 1 cup (250 ml)]:
chopped cookies, favourite candy bars, brownies, leftover cake, marshmallows,
chocolate morsels, peanut butter morsels, butterscotch morsels, toasted nuts, etc.
Ingredients should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once
the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient
spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.

1 cup (250 ml) whole milk].
freezing process. Otherwise, the alcohol may impede the freezing process.
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 sugar in the recipe.
completely frozen before each use.
RECIPE TIPS
The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious frozen drinks and
desserts. You may create or use recipes of your own, as long as they yield no more
than 2 quarts (1.9 litres).
Recipe Tips:
• 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) and milk (reduced fat or
lowfat) for heavy 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 lowerfat 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 two cups (500 ml) of

ICE CREAM SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Ice Cream Terrine
You can make an ice cream terrine or loaf as a special way to serve your homemade
ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, or sorbet. Simply line an 8-cup (9x5x3-inch) loaf
pan with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Spoon frozen mixture into prepared pan, cover
completely and freeze for at least 2 hours. If desired, frozen mixture can be layered
with thin cookies or layers of cake about 1⁄4- to 1⁄2- inch thick. Remove from freezer
and place in refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving to facilitate slicing.
Slice with a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water, then dried.
Ice Cream Pies
You can easily make an ice cream pie using any flavour of ice cream, frozen yogurt,
or even sorbet. Begin with a cooled crust – traditional pastry or crumb (it can be
placed in the freezer while you are mixing your filling). You can fill the crust directly or
add a layer of syrup, chocolate (you can sprinkle the hot crust with chopped chocolate or chocolate chips – they will then melt and form a layer of chocolate candy) or
nuts. Spoon your frozen mixture directly from the Cuisinart ICE-30BCC into the
chilled crust. Freeze for 1 hour until the top is firm, then cover and freeze until
needed. Remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator 30 minutes before
serving so that it will become soft enough to slice but will still hold its shape. Serve
plain, or with additional toppings such as fresh fruit, fruit syrup, chocolate or caramel
sauce, nuts, cherries, etc. Top with freshly whipped cream.
Makes about fourteen 1⁄2-cup (125 ml) servings
3 cups (750 ml) fresh ripe strawberries, stemmed and sliced
Ice Cream Sodas
Ice cream sodas are made with a flavouring syrup, soda, and a scoop of your
favourite ice cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet. Place 2 tablespoons (30 ml) syrup in the
bottom of a large glass. Add chilled soda or seltzer to within 2 inches (5 cm) of the
rim of the glass. Top with 1 large scoop of very firm ice cream, frozen yogurt or
sorbet – trying to get the scoop to straddle the rim of the glass but also be partly
submerged in the soda. If the ice cream is too deep into the soda it will cause it to
overflow, and if it doesn’t touch, it is not an ice cream soda. The ice cream soda can
be topped off with a squirt of whipped cream. The possibilities are endless. You can
4 tablespoons (60 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
11⁄2 cup (375 ml) sugar, divided
11⁄4 cups (300 ml) whole milk
23⁄4 cups (680 ml) heavy cream
11⁄2 teaspoons (7 ml) pure vanilla extract
In a small bowl, combine the strawberries with the lemon juice and 1⁄2 cup
(125 ml) of the sugar. Stir gently and allow the strawberries to macerate
in the juices for 2 hours. Strain the berries, reserving juices. Mash or
purée half the berries.
do a traditional soda such as a Black-and-White (chocolate syrup, seltzer, vanilla ice
cream) or use ginger ale with a scoop of fruit-flavoured sorbet – or a more exotic
combination.
Medleys or Parfaits
Choose flavours and colours that complement each other, and layer in parfaits or
arrange on plates using small scoops. For instance, a bowl of small scoops of
Red Raspberry Gelato, Blueberry Cassis Gelato, Mango Gelato, and Green Tea
Gelato will make a dramatic presentation. Or try a medley of jewel-toned sorbets,
such as Pink Grapefruit, Blueberry, and Sweet Dark Cherry.
In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed to combine the
milk and remaining granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about
1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, reserved strawberry juice, mashed
strawberries, and vanilla. Turn the machine on; pour the mixture into freezer
bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. Five minutes
before mixing is completed, add the reserved sliced strawberries and let
mix in completely. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer
consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and
place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes
before serving.
Note: This ice cream will have a “natural” appearance of very pale pink.
