Tips

Tip 1: Always load the container in the order listed in the recipe.
Tip 2: If necessary, use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades while processing.
Tip 3: Freeze unused ice cream in an air tight container.  When ready to use, allow to soften at room temperature for 8-10 minutes.
Tip 4: Play with the amount of milk and cream.  For a creamer ice-cream use 250ml cream (no milk).  For a more sorbet-style use 250ml of milk (no cream) and reduce sugar to 1/4 cup.
