of this appliance.
• Do not place the ice cream machine
near the edge of the counter top or
table during operation. Ensure the
surface is level, clean and free of liquid
or other substances. Vibration during
the churning process may cause the
machine to move slightly.
• Do not place this appliance on or near
a hot gas or electric burner, or where it
could touch a heated oven. Position the
appliance at a minimum distance of
15cm away from walls. To ensure proper
ventilation.
• Always operate the ice cream machine
on a stable surface.
• Do not operate the ice cream machine
on a sink drain board.
• Always ensure the ice cream machine is
properly assembled before connecting to
a power outlet and operating. Follow the
instructions provided in this book.
• The ice cream machine is not intended
to be operated by means of an external
timer or separate remote control system.
• Do not cover the air vents when the ice
cream machine is in use.
• Do not place any ingredients directly
into the ice cream chamber. Place
ingredients into the ice cream bowl only.
• Ensure ice cream chamber is clean, dry,
and free of debris before each use.
• Do not place fingers or hands inside the
ice cream machine during operation.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Ensure the ice cream machine is
switched off and then unplugged from
the power outlet when not in use and
before cleaning.

TIPS FOR BETTER ICE
CREAM MAKING
for your Breville Smart Scoop™ Ice Cream Machine

18
TIPS FOR BETTER ICE CREAM MAKING
TIPS FOR BETTER
ICE CREAM MAKING
• Note time taken to make frozen desserts
can vary depending on the ambient
room temperature, temperature of
the ingredients and pre cooling the
machine. Note the cooler the ingredients
the faster the ice cream process. As a
general guideline it takes around
50 minutes to make ice cream.
• When making crème anglaise and
recipes that require heating ingredients,
it’s always a good idea to make this
the day before. Alternatively, cool
ingredients for at least 4 hours prior to
making ice cream.
• Always add ingredients into the bowl
before inserting into the ice cream
maker.
• Ice cream recipes stated in this
instruction booklet use ingredients
such as cream, milk, eggs and sugar.
These ingredients can be substituted
with similar ingredients to suit different
taste or dietary requirements. Note, taste
and texture will vary if using different
ingredients.
• Most dessert bases will expand during
the churning and freezing process. All
mixtures in this instruction booklet will
make approximately 1 litre of frozen
dessert unless otherwise specified.
If using ice cream mixtures from
other recipes, do not exceed 700ml
of ingredient base to allow for the
expansion.
• Alcohol inhibits the freezing process. It’s
best to add alcohol towards the end of
the ice cream making process.
• The consistency of the frozen dessert
made is a spoonable mixture. Please note
that if you are serving in cones or on
plates that it’s best to place the ice cream
in the freezer for 2 hours prior to serving.
• When storing your frozen dessert in the
freezer, ensure that the container is air
tight and well sealed. This will prevent
ice crystals forming. Putting a piece of
baking or grease proof paper directly
over the top of the frozen dessert will
also help with this.
NOTE
Do not place the ice cream bowl in
the freezer.
• Frozen desserts are best eaten within 1
week of churning but can be kept for up
to 2 weeks.
• If serving a dessert from the freezer
it’s best to let the dessert sit at room
temperature for 5-10 minutes prior
to serving.
TIPS FOR MAKING CRÈME
ANGLAISE (CUSTARD BASE)
• Traditionally creamy textured ice
cream is made from a crème anglaise,
custard base. Below are tips on
achieving the prefect crème anglaise
time after time.
• Make sure all ingredients are fresh.
• Eggs are best at room temperature for
making a custard base. Recipes are
based on min mass 59g eggs.
• Ensure that you measure all your
ingredients first and have them ready
before you start to cook.
• Either use a wire whisk or electric hand
beater, beat eggs yolks and sugar until
they are pale and thick.
• Use a heavy bottom saucepan when
cooking crème anglaise.

19
TIPS FOR BETTER ICE CREAM MAKING
• When heating the cream/milk you don’t
want to boil it. A good guide to know
when to remove the cream/milk from
the heat is when little bubbles start to
form around the edge of the
cream/ milk.
• While the cream/milk mixture is
heating start to beat the sugar and eggs.
Waiting to do this after the
cream/milk mixture has heated may
cause the cream/milk to overheat and
separate.
• Ensure that the mixture is constantly
stirred with a wooden spoon until it
thickens. A flat bottom wooden spoon
works best. To test using the back of
the spoon, coat the spoon in the crème
anglaise. Run your finger through the
mixture on the back of the spoon. If
the finger mark stays then the mixture
is thick enough. Remove mixture
immediately.
• If the mixture separates or curdles
then heat is too high. If the mixture
separates you will need to start again.
• Do not leave crème anglaise unattended
while cooking.
• Crème anglaise will take 5-15 minutes
to thicken depending on quantities etc.
• Always allow the mixture to cool at
room temperature stirring occasionally
to release heat until there is no visible
steam coming from the mix. Once
cooled then refrigerate until well
chilled.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on
top of the creme anglaise to prevent a
skin forming on top.
• To cool the mixture quickly it can be
put in a metal bowl and then into an ice
bath and stirred constantly until well
chilled.
