15. During the last couple minutes of the churning process,
customize your ice cream recipe by adding ingredients,
such as cookie dough, nuts, and candy pieces, through
the Ingredient Chute.
NOTE: We recommend adding hard ingredients,
like peanuts, 15 minutes into the ice cream making
process. Softer ingredients, like cookies, are best added
20 minutes into the ice cream making process.
16. When the ice cream has reached your
desired consistency, typically after 15-
25 minutes, turn off the unit and unplug from the wall outlet.
17. Remove the Top Lid and set aside. With one hand on the Canister, remove
the Locking Lid. Be careful as the Canister may float in the ice water.
18. Now remove the Dasher and scrape off any excess ice cream with a spatula.
19. Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze, or serve straight from the Canister.

HELPFUL TIPS

TASTE
Finished ice cream will always taste less sweet than the initial mixture. You
may adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to suit your taste.
Artificial sweeteners may be used in place of sugar. Use
the following measurements for reference:
• 1 packet of sweetener = 2 tsp. of sugar
• 6 packets of sweetener = ¼ cup of sugar
• 8 packets of sweetener = ¹/
• 12 packets of sweetener = ½ cup of sugar
TEXTURE
• To ensure that ice crystals do not form in ice cream mixture, DO NOT
stop the churning process until the ice cream is ready.
• Recipes with high amount of salt can cause the mixture to freeze too
quickly, which can also cause ice crystals to form in the ice cream.
• An ice cream recipe using ingredients with a higher fat content, such as heavy
cream, will result in a thicker and creamier texture. Lower fat ingredients, such as
2% milk, will result in a less thick and creamy, and more grainy and ice texture.
CONSISTENCY
Homemade ice cream generally has a thick, milkshake texture. If you
prefer a thicker or more firm consistency, try one of the following:
• Place ice cream mixture in freezer to harden.
• Recipes that call for alcohol may inhibit the freezing process. Be sure to
add any alcohol during the last few minutes of the freezing process.
JAMMING
If the Canister gets jammed and does not revolve properly, try the following:
• Check to make sure that the Dasher is properly attached to the star-
shaped gear in the bottom of the Bucket, that the cord is plugged into
