
• 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.
Tips
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
dierent taste or dietary requirements. Note,
taste and texture will vary if using dierent
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 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.
THE VITAL INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
Home made ice cream is now easy to make
at home and with only kitchen ingredients
required to make a basic vanilla ice cream.
EGGS
All the recipes in this book were tested
using standard min mass 59g eggs. The
egg gives ice cream volume, stabilises and
emulsifies the mixture. The yolk of the egg
contains lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier
to bond with the fat globules.
NOTE
Avoid using older eggs, especially if you are
not cooking the mixture. Pregnant women are
not advised to consume ice cream containing
raw eggs.
SUGAR
Caster sugar was used in all the recipes
as it dissolves easily and to reduce
crystallisation (when large ice crystals
form) from occurring.
Standard white sugar can be substituted but
takes a little longer to dissolve.
As a general rule, when it comes to sugar
in ice cream, more sugar added will lower
the freezing point of the water inside the
mixture, which prevents your frozen dessert
from forming a large hard clump that is
dicult to scoop.


MILK
Full cream milk was used for all milk
based recipes. Lower fat varieties can be
substituted but the same result will not
be achieved. Low fat milk should only be
substituted for recipes that do not require
cooking. Low fat milks have a high chance
of separating during cooking.
CREAM
Pouring cream was used in all the recipes.
The cream gives fattiness and a smoother
texture to the ice cream.
Thickened cream can be substituted.
Creams that are thickened usually have
additives such as gelatine (of animal origin)
to thicken and prolong the creams life.
Reduced fat cream can be substituted but
only for recipes that do not require cooking
as the low fat varieties have a high chance
ofseparating during cooking.


Care & Cleaning
Ensure that the ice cream machine is
turned o by pressing the POWER button.
The ice cream machine is o when the
START | PAUSE button’s LED light is
no longer illuminating red. Remove the
power plug from the power outlet. Allow
the ice cream machine compressor to cool
completely before disassembling and
cleaning.
CLEANING THE STAINLESS
STEEL HOUSING
1. Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel
housing and the LCD screen with a soft
damp cloth. Do not use a dry paper towel
or cloth to clean the LCD screen, or use an
abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad to
clean any part of the ice cream machine as
these will scratch the surface.
NOTE
Never immerse the stainless steel housing in
water or place in the dishwasher. Take care not
to allow water or cleaning fluids to seep under
the buttons or LCD screen on the control panel.
NOTE
To clean the ice cream chamber ensure that
the unit is at room temperature. Wipe out with
soapy water and a soft damp cloth.
2. If over-spill of cream, milk, chocolate etc.
occurs in the interior chamber, carefully
remove using a soft, damp cloth.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior
to inserting the power plug into
apower outlet.
CLEANING THE LID.
The lid can be cleaned in warm soapy water,
using a soft sponge. Do not use an abrasive
cleanser or metal scouring pad as these
will scratch the surface. Let all surfaces dry
thoroughly prior to placing into the ice
cream machine.
CLEANING THE ICE CREAM BOWL
Fill the ice cream bowl up halfway with warm
soapy water. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser
or mild spray solution may be used. Allow to
stand for 10-20 minutes.
NOTE
Ice Cream Bowl is NOT dishwasher safe.


CLEANING THE PADDLE
1. Wash the paddle with warm soapy water.
Using the bottle brush supplied insert this
in the central part of the paddle to clean all
the ice cream out.
2. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before
reassembling the ice cream machine
NOTE
Paddle and lid are dishwasher safe on the
top rack ONLY.
STORAGE
1. Ensure the ice cream machine is turned
OFF. Remove power plug from the
power outlet.
2. Ensure the ice cream machine and all
accessories are completely clean and dry.
3. Place the ice cream bowl and paddle into
the chamber.
4. Ensure the lid is on.
5. Store the appliance in an upright position
and level on it support legs. Do not store
anything on top of the ice cream machine.


PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Ice cream won’t
freeze
• START | PAUSE button needs to be pressed.
• Alcohol in ice cream? Added too much or too soon.
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the ice cream
maker. We recommend leaving at least 15cm between the ice
cream machine and adjacent hard surfaces.
Paddle won’t move • Paddle won’t move if the PRE-COOL function is selected for
the first 5 minutes.
• Check to see if center spindle is inserted correctly into plastic
paddle; if the center spindle is not moving then there maybe
an issue with the machine – Call Breville®customer service.
Lid will not lock
into position
• Paddle and bowl are not positioned properly – make sure
the handle of the bowl sits within the grooves and paddle is
inserted properly.
Frozen dessert not
frozen in allocated
time
• Dessert mixture was too warm when placed in the ice cream
bowl for time allocated in manual setting.
• Dierent ingredients and quantities will eect freezing time.
Allow for more time if using ingredients like eggs/alcohol.
Can’t remove
bowl insert after
churning
• Ingredients may have spilt over the side of the bowl and into
the chamber. Turn the machine o and let stand for 10-20
minutes to defrost the ice cream. Then remove bowl and wipe
the interior chamber of the ice cream machine.
How do I make soft
serve ice cream?
• The frozen desserts on the hardness indicator bar are only there as
a guide. Try making your soft serve on the sorbet setting. You can
turn the hardness back up if the ice cream is not hard enough.
I want my ice
cream even harder!
• Remove ice cream from ice cream bowl, place in another air-
tight container and place in freezer for a further 1-2 hours or
until desired hardness is achieved.
Can I put my mix-
ins into the custard
base?
• Put your mix-ins at the end when prompted.
Note: Often ingredients such as fruits may disintegrate
during the churning process if added to early.
