FEATURES AND BENEFITS  
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.  
1. Ingredient Spout  
Pour recipe ingredients through the spout. Also use to add ingre-  
dients, like chips or nuts, without interrupting the freezing cycle.  
2. Easy-lock Lid  
Transparent to let you watch the  
freezing process as it progresses. 1  
Lid is designed to easily lock to  
the base.  
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.  
3. Mixing Arm  
Mixes and aerates ingredients

1. Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or from your own  
recipe. Cuisinart recipes begin on page 4. If you use your own recipe,  
be sure it yields 1-1Џ2 quarts or less. For best results, prepare  
ingredients in a container that is easy to pour from.

at an even temperature.  
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if  
you have wrapped freezer bowl.) Place freezer bowl on the center of  
the base.  
NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from  
freezer. Use it immediately after removing from freezer.  
5. Base  
Contains heavy-duty motor  
strong enough to handle ice  
cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet,  
5
sorbet, and frozen drinks.

4. Place lid on base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lid to rest on base in  
multiple positions. The raised circle on the lid should line up with the  
raised area on the base (see diagram).  
NOTE: Please be sure mixing paddle is aligned with indents on the lid by  
the ingredient spout.  
Non-slip feet keep base  
stationary during use.

8. Cord Storage (not shown)  
Unused cord is easily pushed into  
the base to keep counters neat and safe.  
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.  
5. Press 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 20-30 minutes. The time  
will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert or drink you are  
 
2
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.  
Recipe Tips:  
• Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart® Automatic Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream &  
Sorbet Maker use pure, fresh ingredients. Because of this, the desserts  
and drinks do not have the same characteristics as commercially prepared  
frozen desserts and drinks. Most store-bought versions use gums and  
preservatives to make them firmer. If you desire a firmer consistency,  
transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the  
freezer until desired consistency is reached, usually two or more  
hours.  
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.  
• 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 precooked ingredients  
completely.  
SAFETY FEATURE  
The Cuisinart® Automatic 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 ingredi-  
ents (nuts, etc.) are in extremely large pieces. To reset the unit, put the  
ON/OFF switch in 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.  
• 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, con-  
sistency 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 of cream, use a total of two  
cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup cream, 1 cup whole milk).  
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.  
You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be  
precooked, add the sweetener after the heating process is complete  
and ingredients have cooked. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve  
the sweetener.  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
• The Cuisinart recipes listed below will yield up to 1-1Џ2 quarts of dessert  
or drink. When pouring ingredients in through the ingredient spout, DO  
NOT fill the freezer bowl higher than 1/4" from the top of the freezer bowl.  
The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process.  
Transfer frozen desserts or drinks to an airtight container for longer storage  
in the freezer.  
RECIPE TIPS  
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the freezer bowl is  
completely frozen before each use.  
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 1-1Џ2 quarts.  
• Make sure mixing arm and lid are in place before turning on machine.

Combine the 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 color, about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.  
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over  
medium low heat. with a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise;  
use the blunt edge of the knife to scrape out the “seeds” of the vanilla  
bean. Stir the seeds and bean pod into the milk/cream mixture. Simmer  
the milk/cream mixture over low heat for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes,  
remove the vanilla bean pod and discard or rinse and reserve for another  
use.  
Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk/cream mixture. Pour out 1 cup  
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 com-  
pletely.  
Combine the sugar, cocoa, eggs, and egg yolk in a medium bowl; use a  
hand mixer on medium speed to beat the sugar, cocoa, and eggs until  
thickened like mayonnaise. Measure out 1 cup of the hot milk/cream mix-  
ture. With the mixer on low speed, add the hot milk/cream in a slow,  
steady stream and mix until completely incorporated. Stir the chopped  
chocolate into the saucepan with the hot milk/cream, then stir the egg  
mixture into the hot milk/cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly,  
until the mixture thickens and begins to resemble a chocolate pudding.
