INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Chop your fruit into long thin shapes, around 1-2cm thick and freeze for a minimum

of 12 hours. If you are using bananas or other fruit with a skin ensure they are peeled
before freezing.

• Remove pips, stones or cores from your fruit before freezing.

the nozzle.

• Remove the pusher from the chute and put a few pieces of frozen fruit into the top.

Be careful not to overfill the chute.

feed the frozen fruit pieces through the machine. Apply steady pressure on the pusher
to slowly and gently press the ingredients through the chute. DO NOT use force.

• Only use the pusher to push frozen fruit into the chute. NEVER use your fingers or
hands to push ingredients into the appliance.

A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS AND HINTS AND TIPS

• Once you’ve tried some of the recipes in this booklet, you may wish to adapt them,
using our suggestions as a guide.

• DO NOT use ice cubes with the Iced Fruit Dessert Maker, these are too hard for the
grinder and may damage the appliance.

• For a more decadent dessert, add chocolate and nuts to the chute along with your
fruit, or drizzle your dessert with honey or maple syrup to serve.

• Serve your iced fruit desserts as a healthy side to hot desserts like brownies, instead of
ice cream.

The following frozen fruits work well, you can experiment with different fruit to create
your own recipes.

• Berries - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and cranberries.

• Bananas - should be over-ripe and peeled before freezing.

• Melon - honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon.

• Pineapple - peeled, cored and cut into long, thin slices.

• Peaches, Pears, Apples, Mango, Kiwi - peeled.

If using a variety of fruits or berries in your recipe, mix them up before adding to the
Dessert Maker.
