cloth. Wash the lid, freezer bowl and mixing arm in warm soapy
water to remove any dust or residue from the manufacturing and
shipping process. DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive
cleaners or hard implements.
FREEZING TIME AND BOWL
PREPARATION
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your
recipe. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends
on how cold your freezer is. For the most convenient frozen desserts
and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. You
can take it out any time for immediate use. In general, freezing time
is between 6 hours and 22 hours. To determine whether the bowl
is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving, the
cooling liquid is frozen. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl.
Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. We recommend that
you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is
coldest.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F (-18°C) to ensure proper
freezing of all foods.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS OR
DRINKS
1. Use Cuisinart’s recipes from the pages that follow, or use your
own recipe, making sure it yields 2 quarts or less. Do not fill
the freezer bowl higher than 1⁄2” (1 cm) from the top. The
ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process.
For best results, prepare ingredients in a container from which
it is easy to pour.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag
if you have wrapped freezer bowl.) Place freezer bowl on the
centre of the base.
NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been
removed from freezer. Use it immediately after removing from
freezer.
3. Place mixing arm in freezer bowl. Arm does not fit tightly. It just
rests in the centre of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid on base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lid to rest on
base in multiple positions (see diagram).
5. Turn the On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin
to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout.
7. Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in 25–35 minutes. The
3
4
5
8
7

4
time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert or
drink you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your
liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the
dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer
for two or more hours.
NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer
bowl. Desserts and drinks will stick to the side of the freezer
bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a plastic airtight
container.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes
before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert or drink has begun
to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts
and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
SAFETY FEATURE
The Cuisinart® Pure Indulgence™ Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream &
Sorbet Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically
stops the unit if the motor overheats. This may occur if the dessert
or drink is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an
excessively long period of time, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.)
are in extremely large pieces. To reset the unit, turn the ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes,
you may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert or
drink.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Cleaning
Clean the freezer bowl, mixing arm and lid in warm soapy water. DO
NOT PUT FREEZER BOWL IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN
WITH ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe motor base
clean with damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Storage
DO NOT put freezer bowl in freezer if bowl is wet. DO NOT store
lid, mixing arm, or base in freezer. You may store the freezer bowl
in the freezer for convenient, immediate use. Before freezing, wrap
the bowl in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. Do not store frozen
desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the freezer for more than 30
minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts or drinks to an airtight
container for longer storage in the freezer.
RECIPE TIPS
The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious
frozen drinks and desserts. You may create or use recipes of your
own, as long as they yield no more than 2 quarts (1.9 litres).
Recipe Tips:
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 pre
cooked ingredients completely.
Prior to freezing, most recipes may be stored in the refrigerator
for up to 3 days.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g. half-and-half) and milk
(reduced fat or lowfat) 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 (500 ml) of cream,
use a total of two cups of the substitute [such as 1 cup (250 ml)
cream, 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk].
• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last two
minutes of the freezing process. Otherwise, the alcohol may
impede the freezing process.
• 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 sugar to the
recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of
sugar in the recipe.
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the freezer
bowl is completely frozen before each use.
• Make sure mixing arm and lid are in place before turning on
machine.
Mix-Ins for Ice Cream
Turn any of the “plain” flavours of ice cream into something fun by
adding up to 1 cup (250 ml) of any of the following [or a mixture of 2
or more totaling 1 cup (250 ml)]: chopped cookies, favourite candy
bars, brownies, leftover cake, marshmallows, chocolate morsels,
5
peanut butter morsels, butterscotch morsels, toasted nuts, etc.
Ingredients should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is
complete. Once the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the
ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients
should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
ICE CREAM SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Ice Cream Terrine
You can make an ice cream terrine or loaf as a special way to serve
your homemade ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, or sorbet. Simply
line an 8-cup (9x5x3-inch) loaf pan with a large sheet of plastic wrap.
Spoon frozen mixture into prepared pan, cover completely and freeze
for at least 2 hours. If desired, frozen mixture can be layered with thin
cookies or layers of cake about 1⁄4- to 1⁄2- inch thick. Remove from
freezer and place in refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving
to facilitate slicing. Slice with a sharp knife that has been dipped in
hot water, then dried.
Ice Cream Pies
You can easily make an ice cream pie using any flavour of ice cream,
frozen yogurt, or even sorbet. Begin with a cooled crust – traditional
pastry or crumb (it can be placed in the freezer while you are mixing
your filling). You can fill the crust directly or add a layer of syrup,
chocolate (you can sprinkle the hot crust with chopped chocolate or
chocolate chips – they will then melt and form a layer of chocolate
candy) or nuts. Spoon your frozen mixture directly from the Cuisinart
ICE-30BCC into the chilled crust. Freeze for 1 hour until the top is
firm, then cover and freeze until needed. Remove from the freezer
and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving so that it
will become soft enough to slice but will still hold its shape. Serve
plain, or with additional toppings such as fresh fruit, fruit syrup,
chocolate or caramel sauce, nuts, cherries, etc. Top with freshly
whipped cream.
Ice Cream Sodas
Ice cream sodas are made with a flavouring syrup, soda, and a
scoop of your favourite ice cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet. Place
2 tablespoons (30 ml) of syrup in the bottom of a large glass. Add
chilled soda or seltzer to within 2 inches (5 cm) of the rim of the
glass. Top with 1 large scoop of very firm ice cream, frozen yogurt or
sorbet – trying to get the scoop to straddle the rim of the glass but
also be partly submerged in the soda. If the ice cream is too deep
into the soda it will cause it to overflow, and if it doesn’t touch, it is
not an ice cream soda. The ice cream soda can be topped off with a
squirt of whipped cream. The possibilities are endless. You can do a
traditional soda such as a Black-and-White (chocolate syrup, seltzer,
vanilla ice cream) or use ginger ale with a scoop of fruit-flavoured
sorbet – or a more exotic combination.
Medleys or Parfaits
Choose flavours and colours that complement each other, and layer
in parfaits or arrange on plates using small scoops. For instance, a
bowl of small scoops of Red Raspberry Gelato, Blueberry Cassis
Gelato, Mango Gelato, and Green Tea Gelato will make a dramatic
presentation. Or try a medley of jewel-toned sorbets, such as Pink
Grapefruit, Blueberry, and Sweet Dark Cherry.

3 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
1
1
8 cups (275 ml) sugar
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
Combine the milk and cream in a Cuisinart® medium saucepan.
Use a sharp knife to split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Use the
blunt edge to scrape out the “seeds.” Stir the seeds and bean pod
into the milk/cream mixture. Bring the mixture to a slow boil over
medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes,
stirring occasionally.
Combine eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in a medium bowl. Use a hand
mixer on medium speed to beat until the mixture is thick, smooth,
and pale yellow in colour (similar to mayonnaise), about 2 minutes.
Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk/cream mixture and discard.
Measure out 1 cup (250 ml) of the hot liquid. With the mixer on low
speed, add the cup of hot milk/cream to the egg mixture in a slow,
steady stream. When thoroughly combined, pour the egg mixture
back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk/cream mixture and
stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until
the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer
to a bowl, stir in vanilla, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap placed
directly on the custard, and chill completely.
Pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl, turn the machine on
and let mix until thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. The ice cream
will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired,
transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for
about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

1 teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt
cups (550 ml) whole milk
cups (550 ml) heavy cream
1 whole vanilla bean [about 6 inches (153 cm) in length]
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1
1
8 cups (275 ml) sugar
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
Melt the butter in a 10-inch (25 cm) skillet. Add the pecans and
kosher salt. Cook over medium-low heat until pecans are toasted
and golden, stirring frequently, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from
the heat, strain (the butter will have a pecan flavor and can be
strained and reserved for another use). Chill the nuts.
Combine the milk and cream in a Cuisinart® medium saucepan.
Use a sharp knife to split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Use the
blunt edge to scrape out the “seeds.” Stir the seeds and bean pod
into the milk/cream mixture. Bring the mixture to a slow boil over
medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes,
stirring occasionally.
Combine eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in a medium bowl. Use a hand
mixer on medium speed to beat until the mixture is thick, smooth,
and pale yellow in colour (similar to mayonnaise), about 2 minutes.
Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk/cream mixture and
discard it. Pour out 1 cup (250 ml) of the hot liquid. With the mixer
on low speed, add the cup of hot milk/cream to the egg mixture in
a slow, steady stream. When thoroughly combined, pour the egg
mixture back into the saucepan and stir to combine. Cook, stirring
constantly, over medium low heat until the mixture is thick enough to
coat the back of a spoon. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a sheet of
plastic wrap placed directly on the custard, and chill completely.
Pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl, turn the machine on
and let mix until thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. The ice cream
will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired,
transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for
about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
