BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME 

DO NOT immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it with a moist 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. For the most convenient frozen desserts, 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 12 hours and 24 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. 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

1. Use Cuisinart recipes from the pages that follow, or use your own recipe, making sure it yields 2 quarts (1.89 L) or less. Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than 1/2 inch (1.25 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. Place freezer bowl on the center of the base.

   • NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from the freezer. Use it immediately after removing from the freezer.

3. Place mixing arm in the freezer bowl. The arm does not fit tightly. It rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.

4. Place lid on base, oriented to the right of center, and turn clockwise to lock. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows the lid to rest on the base.

5. Once the unit is plugged in, all function buttons should be lit. Using the control panel, select the desired function: ICE CREAM, GELATO or SORBET. You will hear a beep indicating ready mode.

   • Note: Use the ICE CREAM function when preparing frozen yogurt. The function cannot be changed after the preparation cycle begins. If necessary, press Start/Stop twice to reset the unit.

6. Adjust the preset time by using the arrows, if necessary. Max time is 60 minutes. (Time cannot be adjusted after the process begins.) Select Start/Stop. The freezer bowl will start turning, and the pre-programmed time will appear on the LCD screen.

7. Immediately pour ingredients through the ingredient spout. Place the measurement cup on the lid.

8. Frozen desserts will be done in 15 to 40 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.

Once the time expires, the timer will begin counting negative to keep the unit cool for an additional maximum time of 30 minutes. The unit will beep for 5 seconds every 5 minutes during the keep-cool feature to remind you that your dessert is ready to serve or store.

NOTE: There are many variables to the final consistency — room temperature, bowl temperature, ingredient temperature, etc. If the recipe is done sooner, press Start/Stop.

NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to the side of the freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a plastic airtight container.

ADDING INGREDIENTS

In general, ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. To add a chocolate swirl to ice cream, gelato or frozen yogurt, drizzle in hot fudge or melted chocolate. The melted chocolate will harden once it makes contact with the freezing ingredients so add it in a slow drizzle to ensure that it does not clump.

SAFETY FEATURE

Cuisinart Gelateria Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the system overheats. This may occur if the dessert 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. Remove ingredients to serve or store, press the Start/Stop, begin the process again, if making another cycle.

Detailed Description

The easy-lock lid with a large spout ensures that the mixture stays inside the bowl while mixing, and the removable mixing paddle makes cleaning a breeze.

One of the unique features of the Cuisinart Gelateria Frozen Yogurt is its double-insulated freezer bowl, which eliminates the need for ice and salt.

The 60-minute countdown timer is also a convenient feature, ensuring that your dessert is ready at the perfect time.

RECIPES

The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious frozen desserts. You may create or use recipes of your own, as long as bases yield 2 quarts (1.89 L) or less.

• For optimum consistency, chill all mixtures for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 3 days. Always re-whisk the mixture after chilling to be sure all ingredients are well combined. While chilling the mixture is not required, resting it in a chilled environment helps bind the ingredients together, and prevents any ice or fat crystals from forming during the freezing process.

• Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the precooked mixture should be chilled overnight or chilled over an ice bath 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 precooked ingredients completely.

• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and half) and/or milk (reduced fat or low fat) 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 2 cups of cream, use a total of 2 cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup cream, plus 1 cup whole milk).

• You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener. See our recipe suggestions on page 14 for a guide.

Custard Gelato 

This recipe uses egg yolks to create an extra creamy and custard-like flavor.
Makes about 4 cups (1 L) [eight ½-cup (125 ml) servings]
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
2 cups (500 ml) whole milk, divided
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
2 tablespoons (30 ml) cornstarch
6 large egg yolks
¾ cup (175 ml) granulated sugar

1. Put the cream and 1¾ cups (425 ml) milk together with the vanilla and salt into a saucepan over medium heat and bring just to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining milk with the cornstarch and reserve.

2. While the cream/milk mixture is heating, combine the yolks and sugar in a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer on low speed or whisk, beat well until the mixture is pale and thick.

3. Once the cream/milk mixture has come to a simmer, stir in the milk/cornstarch mixture and continue to stir over heat for an additional 5 minutes, being sure the mixture does not come to a boil.

Makes about 6½ cups (1.625 ml) [thirteen ½-cup (125 ml) servings]
Fig purée: [or, you can substitute 1 cup (250 ml) fig jam for the homemade purée)
1 cup (250 ml) dried, sulfate-free figs, about 10 to 12 figs
1½ cups (375 ml) water, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey

Mascarpone base
1½ cups (375 ml) heavy cream
3 cups (750 ml) whole milk, divided
1⅔ cups (400 ml) granulated sugar
3 tablespoons (45 ml) cornstarch Pinch kosher salt
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
1½ cups (375 ml) mascarpone
1½ tablespoons (25 ml) liquid pectin
1 recipe Fig Purée (entire yield from recipe above)

Make the purée

1. Put the figs, water, and honey in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a slight simmer.

2. Continue simmering for at least 3 hours, adding water as necessary to keep the figs covered while they are simmering.

3. When figs are really soft and there is only ½ cup of liquid remaining, purée the mixture with a hand blender until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

While the figs are simmering, prepare the base

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and 1½ cups (375 ml) of the milk. Set over medium/medium-low heat and bring to a simmer.

2. While the cream/milk mixture is heating, put the remaining milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

3. Once the cream/milk mixture comes to a simmer, add the milk/sugar mixture and stir until fully combined; reserve the mixing bowl for the mascarpone. Add the mascarpone to the reserved bowl and whisk to loosen slightly.

4. While still set over medium/medium-low heat, continuously stir until the mixture comes to a strong simmer and thickens slightly so it just coats the back of a spoon (this will take no more than 20 minutes, depending on the stove being used).

5. Remove the pan from heat. Slowly pour the hot liquid into the mascarpone, mixing with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is completely homogenous. Once the mixture is homogenous, stir in pectin, strain, and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight. Whisk the mixture together again before pouring into the ice cream maker. The mixture will be very thick.

6. Press Gelato and then Start/Stop. Pour the mixture through the spout and then cover with the cap. Let mix until thickened. When the gelato is almost fully churned, gradually add the fig purée, a dollop at a time. Allow to mix thoroughly. The gelato will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the gelato to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

3. Strain the chilled mixture through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the zest and basil. Press Sorbet and then Start/Stop. Pour the mixture through the spout and then cover with the cap. Let mix until thickened. The sorbet will have a soft texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

Chocolate Cocoa Nib and Pecan Sandwich Cookies

A step above the traditional ice cream sandwich cookies. If you cannot find cocoa nibs, miniature chocolate chips can be substituted, or you can double the amount of pecans.
Makes 24 cookies (for 12 ice cream sandwiches)
1⁄3 cup (75 ml) cocoa powder, sifted
11⁄3 cups (325 ml) bread flour
¾ teaspoon (3.75 ml) baking powder
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 ml) instant espresso powder
½ cup [125 ml (1 stick)] unsalted butter, room temperature and cubed
1 cup (250 ml) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons (45 ml) cocoa nibs (can be found in most gourmet or specialty stores)
¼ cup (60 ml) chopped pecans, toasted

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. Combine the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder in a small bowl. Whisk to blend; reserve.

3. Place the butter in the bowl of a Cuisinart® Stand Mixer, fitted with the mixing paddle. Using medium speed (4 to 5), cream until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the reserved dry ingredients and using a low speed (2 to 3), mix until fully incorporated. Add the cocoa nibs and pecans and mix on low until just combined.

4. Using a small ice cream scoop [about 1½ inches (3.75 cm) in diameter], scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet [each round should be about 2 tablespoons (30 ml)]. Use a cup to flatten each cookie mound down.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cookie looks dry, but not firm. Let cookies fully cool before assembling.

6. To assemble: Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons (15 ml) of your favorite ice cream onto the flat part of one cookie. Place another cookie on top of the ice cream and press down until the ice cream just reaches the edge of the cookies. Continue with each set of cookies. Wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until firm (about 20 minutes).

Pistachio Birthday Cake

We love the flavor combination of the pistachio ice cream with a chocolate crust, but any flavor can be substituted.
Makes 16 servings
½ cup [125 ml (1 stick)] unsalted butter, cubed
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
60 chocolate wafer cookies
1 recipe Pistachio Ice Cream (page 12), softened
½ cup (125 ml) chopped pistachios, toasted

1. In a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the butter and chocolate. Stirring occasionally, let sit until just melted. Reserve.

2. In the bowl of a Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with the chopping blade, add the chocolate wafer cookies. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the melted butter/chocolate mixture through the feed tube of the processor and pulse until completely combined. Press 2⁄3 of the chocolate crumb mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Place in freezer; chill 10 to 15 minutes to let crust harden.

3. Remove from the freezer and spread half of the ice cream over the chilled chocolate crust. Cover with plastic and return to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until just firm. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate crumb mixture over the chilled ice cream and return to the freezer again to chill, for about 30 minutes. Spread the remaining ice cream evenly over the top and smooth completely with an offset spatula. Cover and chill in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight to completely firm the cake.

4. Before serving, remove the ice cream cake from the pan and press the chopped pistachios around the sides of the cake. Serve on chilled plates.

Caramel Sauce

While we love this sauce on ice cream, it can also be used as a dipping sauce for fruit and cake.
Makes about ¾ cup (175 ml)
¾ cup (175 ml) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
¼ cup (60 ml) water (enough so that the consistency when mixed with the sugar and salt is similar to wet sand)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) light corn syrup
1⁄3 cup (75 ml) heavy cream
3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) cubes

1. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together the sugar, salt, water, and corn syrup. Be sure to clean the inside walls of the pan if there is any sugar on the sides (a clean, wet pastry brush works best). Set over medium-low heat, to keep the mixture at a low simmer, and cook until the sugar mixture turns a very light amber color (about 15 to 20 minutes). Keep a close eye on the caramel sauce as it can burn easily.

2. Once the sugar mixture has a light amber color, take it off the stove and slowly and carefully stir in the cream. After the cream has been incorporated, slowly whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, continually whisking to emulsify until all the butter has been added. Use immediately, or keep warm over a pot of warm water.

2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
