Useful Advice

• In order to achieve better results use fresh, high-quality ingredients.

• Dairy products with a high fat content (e.g. crème fraîche, mascarpone) result

in a more creamy consistency.

• When following recipes in which the sugar is not dissolved make sure you use

very fine sugar. Sugar will make the ice cream firmer and at the same time
prevent the formation of large ice crystals.

• When using frozen fruit, it does not need to be completely defrosted. For

example, it is easier to puree fruit when still half frozen.

• •The addition of alcohol to recipes inhibits the freezing process.

• For best results always refrigerate the ingredients before making ice cream.

• The ice cream produced should be a soft, so it can easily be served.

• In case you do not want to serve the ice cream immediately, or if you wish to

firm the ice cream before serving, you can transfer it to a separate container
and store it in the freezer
