Threw it in the freezer, became solid but had so many ice crystals in it, it was mroe like granita sigh Followed recipe again. Froze the bowl even longer again even though I could still faintly hear water swish-swashing.
Churned for like 15 minutes more than in the instructions. Froze it, and it became hard granita delicious but not what i wanted WTF Patience isn't one of my many qualities so this is frustrating me so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont know what I'm doing wrong:. I don't think so. I'm measuring everything quite precisely. It's suppost to spin the bowl which it's doing. NO WAY. Everyone is raving about Mr. Lebowitz's recipes and are having great results My guess: freezing the bowl or freezing the base.
Maybe it isn't cold enough. Maybe my freezer isn't cold enough I just checked it and it was at medium, I put it to extra cold. Types of Homemade Ice Cream. Custard Style Homemade Ice Cream. Safety and Storage of Homemade Ice Cream.

Preparing Ice Cream Can The ice cream can that will hold the ice cream during the freezing process should be stored in the freezer for at least several hours before starting the freezing process.
Some ice cream makers have a can that will have a fill line indicated on it. This will leave room for expansion when the mixture freezes. Also, keep in mind that if flavoring ingredients are going to be added at the end of the process, you will have to allow space for these ingredients. Place the dasher in the ice cream can, making sure the end is placed in the slot on the bottom properly and that the metal stem is at the top pointing up.
Place the cover on the can. The stem of the dasher fits into the hole in the center of the cover. Assembling Ice Cream Maker Place the covered ice cream can in the bucket, making sure it is center and the can is properly aligned in the slot at the bottom of the bucket. Fit the end of the motor drive with the two tabs into the plate with the two tab openings. At the opposite end of the drive unit, allow the tab to drop into the slot on the latch plate.
Rotate the latch over the tab to lock into place. Adding Ice and Churning Plug in the freezer unit so it begins to churn and begin adding ice to the bottom of the bucket around the ice cream can.
Note: When the unit is turned on, the ice cream can rotates, the dasher inside does not move. Note: Salt is necessary to force the ice to melt. As the ice melts and forms a brine solution, it absorbs the heat from the ice cream mixture causing its temperature to lower. Because of the coarseness of rock salt, it will work to melt the ice faster that regular salt, thus freezing the mixture quicker.
Before removing the cover, be sure to remove all the salt and ice from the top of the can and cover so it doesn't get in the ice cream when removing the cover. Remove the cover and pull out the dasher. Check ice cream for proper consistency. This consistency is good for stirring in flavorings. Use a spatula to remove the ice cream on the dasher. Stir in flavorings that are desired.
Hardening Ice Cream in the Freezer If hardening in the can, leave the ice cream in the can and pack the ice cream down firmly. If hardening in a different container, scrape the ice cream into a container with an airtight cover. Place the ice cream in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours to harden. Hardening Ice Cream in the Bucket The ice cream can also be hardened in the ice cream maker bucket.
Add layers of ice and salt the same as when going through the freezing process. Add enough ice to cover the entire can and cover. Freezer Unit Prep The freezing unit of the ice maker must be completely frozen before the ice cream freezing process begins. Churning After the freezing unit is completely frozen, set it in the base of the ice cream maker. Pour the ice cream mixture into the frozen unit through the opening on the top of the cover. I have the same model of Cuisinart as you with a 2 quarts capacity.
The most I have filled the bowl is about g worth of ice cream mix. If your ice cream touches the lid as it expands, you have used too much mix. This gives me a pretty big batch of ice cream, and my machine does well with it.
So I have been reading your blog and other sources of information as there is quite a few considerations when making ice-cream. Can the Cuisinart ICE churn a 1kg batch or does it need to be done in two lots? In your comparison of machines you talk about the capacity and churn time. I really like the sound of the Cuisinart ICE but I want to clarify whether I would need to churn my batch in two lots?
Reason why I ask is because I have the Gelato Messina recipe book and all recipes make 1kg batches. Gelato Messina makes the best gelato in Australia. The ICE would be a good place to start for your first machine as it is relatively cheap and makes excellent ice cream. Ruben— thanks for your reply.
I have been fooling around trying to concoct a non-dairy, low fat, healthy fat, low sugar, lower calorie ice cream. I am so badly addicted to ice cream, this is my last ditch attempt to try to find a way to eat ice cream without totally ruining my health, and growing completely out of my clothes. I found a very good and detailed comment on this page, by scott I was making a one quart batch.
So I started with an almond milk base unsweetened , and added two avocados, for the healthy fat. I also added 2Tbs. The flavor I was aiming for was to replicate pistachio almond, using 2 tsps almond extract. I should have gone out and gotten some amaretto liqueur for the suggested tablespoon of alcohol, but all I had was Southern Comfort, so I used that.
For sweetener I used 4 tsps. All in the blender, then the ice ceam machine for 25 minutes. I kept stopping and starting the machine for the first few minutes, because the dasher kept tilting over and getting stuck. I was able to pull the dasher out this time, and spoon the very thick mix into the bowls for the freezer. In a couple of hours, I tried it, and was amazed at how creamy it was. Maybe I can make it good enough that it will keep me out of the supermarket freezer case. So I guess the machine works pretty well, once you get the hang of it.
Thanks again. I try to center the dasher over the bump under the bowl, and put on the clear plastic lid that seems to be intended to keep it centered. And as everybody is complaining, I get a great deal of icy build-up on the sides of the freezer bow.
After running the machine for a few minutes, the dasher comes off of the center bump and freezes diagonally to the bowl. Totally stuck. So when I want to empty the bowl, I have to take a big plastic spoon, and poke my way around the frozen dasher, so I can try to hurry and ladle it into the containers that will go in the fridge. The delay in getting the product out of the bowl makes it start to melt, and so much product is wasted on the sides. Even after I give up scooping, when I try to melt the ice build-up to get the dasher out, filling the freezer bowl several times with warm water, it takes a long time to get the dasher out.
In your photo, I see you are using the machine without the clear plastic cover, and holding the dasher, perhaps off center to make it scrape the sides. So is using it that way OK? Do you inadvertently make the machine slow down and make the motor strain by doing that?
Since you stand there the whole time with your thumb holding the dasher, would it be just as well to take the dasher out completely and use a rubber scraper to let the mixture churn? Many thanks for getting in touch. The build up of ice around the bowl is a ubiquitous feature of domestic ice cream machines; all the machines I have tried have this slight issue and it is only when you get to commercial machines that you find a spring-loaded dashers that are pushed against the side of the bowl.
If emptying the bowl is taking a long time and your ice cream is melting, then this is indeed a big problem and will likely cause grainy texture as the melted ice will then re-freeze onto the large ice crystals, creating even larger ones. Do try and be as quick as you can when emptying the ice cream and transferring it to the freezer. A good trick is to freeze the plastic container that you will store the ice cream in for a few hours before you add the ice cream.
This will remove any heat that is stored in the container. So does your dasher freeze to the bowl and get stuck? This has never happened to me before. I always remove the dasher as soon as I switch the machine off and scrape off any ice cream before I start emptying the bowl.
Do you leave the dasher in the bowl whilst you are emptying? The thumb trick helps but it is not essential to get excellent ice cream. I leave the plastic top on though whilst the machine churns. The motor does slow when I push the dasher against the side of the bowl, which does put strain on it.
I have had my machine for 6 years now and the motor is still going strong so I am not too concerned with the added strain. Try using your thumb to push the dasher against the side of the bowl for just the seconds before you switch off your machine. Then quickly remove the dasher, scrape off any ice cream that sticks to it, and then empty your bowl.
I also think that the bowl is rotating too slow, normally one would expect it to rotate at least one turn per second. The result is, even if I am using the best Italian commercial ingredients, an awful and sandy texture and a loss of ice cream that has frozen on the surface of the bowl. I think that this machine is just crap. I have a similar model to the Cuisinart ICE you have.
Do you also have this problem and do you think I should just use my ice cream base right away at room temperature and not refrigerate it? How do I overcome this problem? The problem that I have is that I refrigerate the ice cream base before freezing it into ice cream therefore as it turn the ice cream base get frozen to sides in chunks that it make the freezer bowl move around because the mixing pad is in place what do you suggest I do?
You will always have some of the mix freezing to the side of your bowl. If this happens, the theory is that it will act as an insulator and slow the release of heat from the mix to the bowl.
This suggests that the ice cream will then take longer to freeze; the longer ice cream takes to freeze, the sandier the texture gets. I get around this by using my thumb to push the dasher against the side of the bowl on my ICE to scrape off ice cream that freezes there.
When you say it moves around, does this movement make the bowl stop turning or is it just a bit of movement? Also, does a lot of ice cream get stuck to the side of the bowl? Fat globules begin to crystalise when you age your mix overnight, which is important for texture. If you leave your mix at room temperature before you freeze it, those crystals might start to melt. Thank you for your response it was helpful and I figured out the problem I was having was just that my ice cream base was too cold from sitting in my refrigerator and so I should of turn on the machine and then pour the ice cream base in.
Just to get the bowl cold enough!! They are never frozen enough. So maybe I need a compressor or a motor? My fridge is old, but fine for food,and some ice cubes; not much room.. If you are looking for a machine with an in-built compressor, then I would recommend the Cuisinart ICE The instructions are basically worthless, not addressing this issue at all.
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated! Hi there Maya! From what I can see from videos on youtube, the bowl on the 45 looks the same, albeit smaller, as on the 30 so not sure what you mean by the plastic casing. Can you take a picture or upload a video to youtube? I might be able to help if I can see the bowl. Thank you. Hi there! The only difference I can see is the smaller freezer bowl on the I have a large party tomorrow and was wondering if I could use dry ice to help freeze the bowls between use.
Hi Robin! I fear this reply is looooong over due. Hi Lisa! I have never actually tried leaving the ice cream in the bowl and then putting that back in the freezer. If you do try this, do let me know what the texture is like! It could be both! If the paddle in the ice cream machine you are using turns quickly, it will incorporate more air compared to one that turns slowly; this will incorporate more air and make the ice cream lighter.
What ice cream machine are you using? You can also increase the total solids in your mix sugar, fat, eggs, or milk solids non-fat to make it denser and creamier.
I would, of course, recommend that you try one of the recipes on the site and then compare that to what you made before. Of the self refrigerating models, which one would you recommend me? I love ice cream and i found your blog great man! The ICE 30 is also much cheaper than the 50 and makes, in my opinion, better ice cream. The colder the freezer, the colder the freezer bowl will get, and the smoother the ice cream is likely to be.
