Together with the operating instructions, this recipe booklet offers you a reliable and useful guide for the preparation of ice cream. Read the operating instructions carefully before you start.This booklet contains a wide range of recipes and many photographs and suggestions.We have also included sugar-free recipes for diabetics.You will discover how book. easy it is to prepare the most delicious ice cream with your ice cream maker.
Kitchen utensils
Make sure that all the ingredients and utensils are ready to hand when you make your ice cream. It is important that both the ice cream maker and the utensils are clean and dry, because ice cream is susceptible to bacteria.
Utensils needed for the reparation of ice cream include a blender, a food processor, a blender bar, a hand mixer, a nylon sieve or a strainer.
The best results are obtained if you use the given recipes and quantities. If you want to use a recipe from other books, we advise you to look for a recipe in this booklet which is more or less similar. It is important for the best results that you take almost the same quantity of ingredients as given in this recipe book.
INGREDIENTS
Eggs
The recipes are based on eggs weighing 55-60 grams (class 4).
The addition of egg yolks to ice cream improves the structure and makes it taste richer and smoother.
It is difficult to beat egg whites fresh from the fridge so eggs should be taken out of the refrigerator several hours before use.Most of the creamy ice creams with egg yolk are prepared without cooking the ingredients. If you are not sure about the freshness of the eggs, you can cook the ingredients as described under vanilla ice cream.
It is of great importance that the mixture should not be overcooked, otherwise the mixture will curdle. If curdling does occur, you can use a blender bar, a food processor or blender to smoothen the mixture. Mix the mixture for approximately 30 seconds. Or you can add 100 ml (3.5 fl.oz) of very cold cream and allow the mixture to cool, while beating constantly.
Tip
Various recipes only use the egg yolks.The remaining egg white can be used for ome-lette Sibérienne and meringues, for example. Most cookery books suggest suitable recipes.
Milk/Yogurt
You can use both pasteurized and sterilized milk.The choice of full cream milk or low fat milk is a question of personal taste.The ice cream will taste creamier if you use milk with a higher fat content.
If you want to cook a recipe in which yogurt or curd is used, do not cook the yogurt or curd, because yogurt and curd are very highly susceptible to curdling when heated. Add the yogurt after cooling down the mixture.
Cream
Always use chilled cream. If the recipe calls for 'whipped cream’, stop whipping when a yogurt-like thickness is obtained.This makes it easier to mix the cream with the other ingredients. In summer it is advisable to put the beaters and the bowl in which the cream will be whipped in the refrigerator. The fat content of the cream affects the consistency of the ice cream; a higher fat content will make the ice cream richer and creamier.
ENGLISH 5
Sugar
Use castor sugar because this dissolves more readily.You can also use icing sugar, brown sugar or honey. It is best to grind coarse granulated sugar in a blender or food processor.
If the sugar content is too low, it will have an adverse effect on the structure and stiffness of the ice cream.
If too much sugar is used, the preparation time of the ice cream will be longer. It is also possible to replace part of the sugar by dextrose (grape sugar). For example: if the given quantity in the recipe is 100 g sugar, you take 75 g of sugar + 25 g of grape sugar. Grape sugar prevents crystallization of the sugar, specially with sorbets.
Fruit
Fresh fruit makes the tastiest ice cream and it is also very nutritious. Fruit from a jar or a tin is also suitable, however, make sure the fruit is drained well before it is puréed and reduce the amount of sugar by 25 g, depending on the type of fruit and your own taste. Summer fruits are easy to freeze (e.g. strawberries, raspberries, peaches and ber-ries) so fruit ice cream can be made from fresh fruit all year round. Frozen fruit can be stored for about 8 to 9 months in a deep freezer or a *** or
**** refrigerator.
Uncooked fruits that have been puréed discolor easily, so sprinkle apples, bananas, pears and plums with some lemon juice before puréeing them.
If you wish to add pieces of fruit to the ice cream mixture, sprinkle them with some sugar to prevent hard ice crystals from forming inside the fruit pieces during the freezing process.
Alcohol
Ice cream mixtures containing alcohol must be processed somewhat longer, as the ice cream takes longer to freeze than ice cream without alcohol. Unless mentioned other-wise, add the alcohol to the mixture in the ice cream maker for approximately 5-10 minutes before the ice cream is ready.
Syrup
What you need to prepare syrup:
-I stainless steel pan
-1 wooden spoon
-200 cc (7 fl. oz) water and
-200 g (7 oz) castor sugar
(for approximately 300 cc (10.5 fl oz) syrup) or 275 cc (9 3/4 fl. oz) water and
275g (93/4 oz) castor sugar
(for approximately 450 cc (16 fl. oz) syrup)
Put the water and sugar in the pan and mix together with the wooden spoon. Dissolve the sugar at a moderate temperature while stirring. Skim off any froth that forms on the surface. Boil the sugar mixture for about 1 minute.Take the pan off the heat and allow the syrup to cool. If you make sorbet frequently, you can pre-pare syrup in advance and keep it in a tightly sealed bottle in the refrigerator.
Preparation time
The recipes indicate the average time required for their preparation, however you may deviate from this as you see fit.The preparation time depends on:
-the initial temperature of the ice cream mixture
-the room temperature
-temperature of the disc (keep it in the freezer for at least 18-24 hours).
The higher the initial and room temperature, the longer the preparation time will be.The best result is obtained if the ice cream mixture is cooled beforehand in the refrigerator.The preparation times
6 ENGLISH
also depend on the quantities and the ingredients used in the recipe. Ice cream which increases greatly in volume, such as straw-berry or cherry ice cream mousse, or ice cream containing a large proportion of cream, will need a longer preparation time than fruit ice cream and sorbet, for example. Do not exceed the quantities given in the recipes as this can make the ice cream less compact.
STORING ICE CREAM
In the ice cream maker
When the ice cream is ready, you can store it, covered, in the machine for approximately 10 minutes.
In the freezer
Although ice cream has a long storage life, a lengthy period in the freezer will have a ne-gative effect on the taste and quality of the ice cream. After I to 2 weeks the structure of ice cream deteriorates, and the fresh taste is lost. Ice cream is at its best when fresh, therefore it is best to prepare it shortly before consumption.
If you do wish to store the ice cream in the freezer, keep in mind the following:
-Store the ice cream in a clean, tightly sealed container.
-The storage temperature must be at least -18ºC.
-Note the date of preparation and the type of ice cream on the container.
-Never refreeze defrosted or defrosted ice cream.
Take the ice cream out of the freezer about half an hour prior to consumption, and place it in the refrigerator. Alternatively, at room temperature it will be ready for consumption in 10 to 15 minutes. Sorbet defrosts more rapidly than ice cream, so allow it a shorter defrosting period in the refrigerator.
Storage time
Ice cream made of uncooked ingredients:
± 1 week
Sorbet : 1 to 2 weeks
Ice cream made of semi-cooked ingredients: ± 2 weeks
SERVING AND DECORATING
-The recipes serve approximately 4-6 persons, depending on the presentation and the type of ice cream.
-You can serve the ice cream in metal or glass coupes, in metal, glass or crystal bowls or on dessert plates. Depending on the type of ice cream, you could also use fruit cut in half and hollowed out, such as melon, pineapple, orange lemon or grapefruit.
-t is advisable to chill the coupes, bowls or hollowed-out fruit in the freezer compartment or
freezer just prior to serving, so that the ice cream will melt less rapidly when served.
-Some types of ice cream, such as plain ice cream, mocha ice cream and chocolate ice cream, are less dense than other types. It is best to take these types of ice cream out of the ice cream maker and chill them in the freezer half an hour before serving.
-You can make ice cream balls with the aid of a special ice cream scoop. It should be scrupulously clean. If you dip the scoop in water before scooping out the ice cream, the ice cream balls will be nice and smooth. If you wish to present the ice cream in a coupe, it is best to put the ice cream balls; in the freezer the for half an hour, to prevent them from melting during the decorating process.
-Ice cream lends itself well to combinations with pastry, such as profiteroles, cake, meringues or crèpes.
-Decorate the ice cream with, for example, whipped cream, beaten egg white, crème fraîche, custard or sauces.
ENGLISH 7
-Mix the whipped cream or crème fraîche with some finely chopped nuts before serving.
-Take more fruit than indicated by the recipe and use this to decorate the ice cream or use candied fruits, cocktail cherries or soaked raisins.The taste of the fruit is enhanced if you soak it in liqueur.The ice cream can also be combined with a suitable liqueur.
-Ice cream can be decorated with, for example, chocolate leaves, grated chocolate, nougat, bonbons, shredded coconut or chopped nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, slivered almonds, pistachio nuts).
-The ice cream will look even more festive if you decorate it with one or more wafers, biscuits, macaroons or rolled wafers.
SAUCES
Sauces and syrup add a nice touch to the ice cream.There are many different varieties: sweet sauces, fruit sauces and fruit syrup.
There are many types of ready-to-use sauces on the market. But, as is true foricecream: home-made sauces are tastier. Sauces can easily be prepared a few days in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Hot sauces
If you wish to serve a hot sauce, heat it up slowly. It is best to chill the ice cream thoroughly in the freezer before pouring the hot sauce over the top.
The sauces described below can also be served cold. Serve the hot sauce either separately as an accompaniment to the ice cream, or pour it over the ice cream just before serving.
Cherry sauce
Put the juice of one tin of cherries (stoned) in a pan, together with the grated peel of one orange and one lemon. Allow the mixture to simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture. Pour half a tablespoon of lemon juice and one teaspoon of orange juice through a sieve into a bowl and mix one teaspoon of corn flour or potato flour with the juice. Pour this mixture into the hot cherry juice, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. Add sugar to taste and a tablespoon of kirsch, if desired. Add the cherries to the sauce just before serving.
Chocolate sauce
Fresh fruit can be used for these fruit sauces but frozen or tinned fruits can be substituted if desired. If fresh fruit is used, add the sugar in the ratio of 50-75 grams (1.5 - 2.5 oz) of sugar to 200 grams (7 oz) of fruit (depending on the type of fruit used).
Push the fruit through a nylon sieve to remove the pips. Cool the fruit sauces before serving. Do not refreeze fruit sauces made from frozen fruits.You can, however, freeze fruit sauces made from fresh fruit.
Fruit purée
Fruit puree is made as follows:
-Wash the fruit and remove the pips or stones (some fruits should be peeled first).
-Cook the fruit with the adhering water, together with the sugar, until soft.
-Strain the pips if necessary.
-Tinned fruit can be used. It is better not to use too much of the syrup.
CHILDREN’S PARTY
- Use bright, cheerful colors to decorate children's ice cream. Choose flavors that children love.
-For decoration, use whipped cream or ready to serve vanilla custard, chocolate custard or fruit yoghurt.
-Decorate the ice cream with chocolate sprinkles, hundreds-and-thousands, sugar flowers, wafers or small chocolates.
