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 the bases do not go over the top dasher on mixing paddle. (refer to image of dasher )

Recipe Tips

Gelato and Sorbet bases should be no more than 1 quart (should not go above the highest dasher on the paddle).
Ice Cream bases should be no more than 5 cups (should not go above the highest dasher on the paddle).
For optimum consistency, chill all mixtures for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 3 days. 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 for resting it in a chilled environment helps bind the ingredients together.
Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart® Ice Cream & Gelato Maker use pure, fresh ingredients. Because of this, the desserts do not have the same characteristics as commercially prepared frozen desserts. Most store-bought versions use gums and preservatives to make them firmer. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer until desired consistency is reached, usually two or more hours.
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.
You may substitute lower fat creams (e.g., half and half) and/or milk (reduced fat or low fat) 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 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. For example, if the recipe calls for two cups of cream, use a total of two cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup cream, 1 cup whole milk). See our recipes starting on page 9 for more tips.
You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener. See our recipe using Splenda on page 15 for a guide.
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. Use our sorbet recipes on page 23 as a guide.
Make sure the mixing paddle and lid are in place before turning on machine.

ADDING INGREDIENTS

Ingredients such as 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 yogurt, 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.
- Our basic gelato recipe uses both cornstarch and liquid pectin for the creamiest consistency. Pectin is found in most grocery stores commonly near the gelatin and pudding section.

VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM

For the true vanilla lover. Be sure to use fresh vanilla beans to capture the intense flavor.

2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream

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 whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
pinch sea or kosher salt
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups packed fresh mint leaves
5 large egg yolks
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 8 cookies)

In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, whisk together the milk, cream, half of the granulated sugar, salt and vanilla. Bring the mixture just to a boil. Remove from heat and add the mint leaves; let steep for 20 to 30 minutes. If you desire a milder mint flavor, 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, return the mixture just to a boil over medium-low heat.
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.
Once the milk/cream mixture has come to a slight boil, whisk about ¹∕³ of the hot mixture into the yolk/sugar mixture. Add another ¹∕³ 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.
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and bring to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight. Whisk mixture again before pouring into the ice cream maker.
Pour the mixture into the mixing bowl of the Cuisinart® Ice Cream and Gelato Maker fitted with the ice cream paddle. Turn unit on, set Timer and press Start. Let mix until thickened, about 40 to 50 minutes. When the ice cream is almost fully churned, gradually add the crushed cookies through the mix-in opening; let mix until fully combined.
The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. Serve or store in airtight container in freezer.

SAUCES

CARAMEL SAUCE
While we love this sauce on our ice creams, it can also be used as a dipping sauce for fruit and cake.
Makes about ¾ cup

¾ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
¼ cup water (enough so that the consistency when mixed
with the sugar and salt is similar to wet sand)
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
¹∕³
cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together the sugar, salt, water and corn syrup. Be sure to clean the inside walls of the pan if there is any sugar on the sides (a clean, wet pastry brush works best). Set over medium-low heat, to keep the mixture at a low simmer, and cook until the sugar mixture turns a very light amber color (about 15 to 20 minutes). Keep a close eye on the caramel sauce as it can burn easily.
Once the sugar mixture has a light amber color, take it off the stove and slowly and carefully stir in the cream. After the cream has been incorporated, slowly whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, continually whisking to emulsify until all the butter has been added. Use immediately, or keep warm over a pot of warm water.
