HELPFUL TIPS

Taste
Finished ice cream will always taste less sweet than the initial mixture. You
may adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to suit your taste.
Artificial sweeteners may be used in place of sugar. Use
the following measurements for reference:
• 1 packet of sweetener = 2 tsp. of sugar
• 6 packets of sweetener = ¼ cup of sugar
• 8 packets of sweetener = ¹/
• 12 packets of sweetener = ½ cup of sugar
Texture
To ensure that ice crystals do not form in ice cream mixture, do not stop
the churning process at any time until the ice cream is ready.
If the texture of ice cream is hard or grainy, make sure that you do not have too
much rock salt in the ice water. Too much salt can cause the mixture to freeze
too quickly, which can also cause ice crystals to form in the ice cream.
Consistency
Homemade ice cream generally has a thick, milkshake texture. If you
prefer a thicker, or firm consistency try one of the following:
• Remove the Dasher and place the Lid and Cap on the
Canister. Place Canister in freezer to harden.
• Remove the Dasher and add more ice to the ice-salt mixture. Cover
with a towel and let sit until ice cream becomes firm.
• Too little salt may inhibit the freezing of the ice cream mixture. Try adding more salt.
• Recipes that call for alcohol may inhibit the freezing process. Be sure to
add any alcohol during the last few minutes of the freezing cycle.
Jamming
If the Dasher gets jammed or Electric Motor stops prematurely, try the following:
• Ice may cause a blockage in the Bucket. Turn off the Electric Motor and make sure
that the ice is broken up into small pieces. You may use a plastic stirrer to do this.
• Make sure that the consistency of the ice cream is not thicker
than soft serve ice cream or the Dasher may get stuck.
• Ice Cream recipes that include hard ingredients like nuts or chocolate
chips may cause the Dasher to become lodged in the Canister. DO
NOT add hard ingredients until the churning process is done.
• DO NOT stop the churning process until ice cream is finished. Stopping in the middle of the
process can cause the ice cream to harden and restrict the movement of the Dasher.
