Before using your Snack Heroes
Ice Cream Maker
1.Before using your ice cream maker for the
first time, ensure that all packing material
is removed.
3.It is important when making ice cream
that the freezer canister is properly frozen.
The ice cream maker features a double
insulated bowl which requires thorough
freezing. For best results wrap the freezer
canister in a plastic bag and place upright
in the back of the freezer, where it is
coldest. Wrapping the freezer canister
with a plastic bag will prevent odours from
within the freezer seeping into the freezer
canister. As there is liquid in between the
canister walls, shake the canister to check
if fully frozen; you should not hear any
liquid moving within the walls.
2.Remove the motor base from the pouring
hole cover. Wash the freezer canister,
paddle, pouring hole cover and base in
warm soapy water. Be sure to rinse and dry
all parts thoroughly. Wipe the motor unit
with a damp cloth.
NOTE: Continually storing the freezer canister
in the freezer allows you the flexibility to
make your favourite ice cream at a moment’s
notice.

Using your Snack Heroes
Ice Cream Maker
1.Slide the motor unit onto the pouring hole
cover until it locks in place. Two tabs
underneath will ‘click’ into place.
5.Place the freezer canister into the base.
6.Place the pouring hole cover onto the base
so that all 4 locking tabs are aligned.
2.Insert the paddle extender into the motor
unit opening.
7.Rotate clockwise slightly until the tabs lock
into place.
3.Connect the paddle to the paddle extender.
8.Insert the plug into the power outlet and
turn the ice cream maker on immediately.
This will prevent the paddle from freezing
onto the freezer canister.
9.Pour the prepared ice cream mixture
through the pouring hole into the freezer
canister.
4.Remove the freezer canister from freezer.
5
Using your Snack Heroes™ Ice Cream Maker (continued)
NOTE: It is extremely important that the
freezer canister is used immediately after it is
removed from the freezer as it begins to thaw
once removed. Ensure the ice cream mixture
is ready and well chilled, then remove the
freezer canister from the freezer.
12. When the mixture has thickened and
reaches the top of the paddle, the ice
cream is completely prepared and the
ice cream maker should be turned off.
To avoid the motor overheating, the ice
cream maker may turn itself off when
the mixture has thickened and is ready.
10. The ice cream maker process will take
anywhere from 20-40 minutes. Do
not turn appliance off during use as
the mixture may freeze and prevent
movement of the paddle.
13. Remove the paddle from the mixture.
14. Allow the mixture to sit in the freezer
canister for 5 minutes before serving.
Only use plastic, rubber or wooden
utensils to serve from the freezer
canister. Metal spoons may damage the
bowl.
NOTE: If after 40 minutes the mixture is
not yet solid or has thawed again, do not
continue. Possible reasons for the mixture
not freezing include: the freezer canister was
not cold, the mixture was too warm, room
temperature is quite warm or the proportion
of the ingredients were incorrect.
NOTE: At this stage your ice cream will be a
spoonable consistency.
15. To further harden the mixture, transfer
your ice cream into a clean, covered
airtight container and place in the
freezer.
11. To add ingredients after the mixture
process has begun, gently add them
through the pouring hole.

Handy Hints when using your
™
Snack Heroes Ice Cream Maker
• The time taken to make ice cream will
depend on the ambient temperature of
a room, how long the freezer canister
has been freezing, the temperature of
the freezer and the temperature of the
ingredients added to the ice cream
maker. As a general rule, the cooler these
elements, the faster the ice cream making
process. The churning process will take
anywhere from 20-40 minutes based on
this.
• When following recipes that require the
mixture to be pre-cooked, it is best to
prepare the mixture a day in advance to
allow maximum chilling time.
• When preparing ice cream mixtures that
do not require pre-cooking, we recommend
using an electric mixer for maximum
aeration, then making sure mixture is very
cold before churning.
• The consistency of the ice cream/sorbets
should be a spoonable consistency
when finished. We recommend however,
transferring your ice cream to a container
and placing in the freezer for a further 1-2
hours for a firm ice cream.
• Foods such as cream, sugar, eggs and milk
are often the key ingredients in an ice
cream mixture. They may be substituted
with similar ingredients to suit your taste
and dietary requirements. For example,
different varieties of cream may be used,
which will produce varying flavours and
textures.
• Due to an increase in volume during
preparation, the maximum amount of
liquid mixture should not exceed 850ml. If
using your own recipes, adapt the volume
of mixture to these amounts. 850ml of
mixture will create approximately 1 litre of
ice cream; however sorbets do not expand
as much therefore making a smaller
quantity.
• Alcohol inhibits the freezing process. If
adding alcohol to a recipe, add when the
mixture is almost frozen. The best way to
judge this is when the mixture reaches the
top of the paddle.
• Be aware that flavours of fruit based
sorbets and ice creams may vary depending
on the ripeness and sweetness of fruit or
juice used.
• You can replace sugar with an artificial
sweetener. We recommend using one that
is in equal proportion (spoon to spoon) to
sugar, such as Equal or sweeteners that
suggest using half the amount of sugar
such as CSR Smart sugar.
• When storing your ice cream, ensure the
container is no larger than 1 litre and well
sealed. Placing a piece of baking paper
over the ice cream will prevent ice crystals
from forming on the ice cream.
• Ice cream is best consumed within
2 weeks.
• When serving ice cream straight from the
freezer, allow the ice cream to sit out at
room temperature for 5-10 minutes; this
will make serving easier.

Tips to Making Custard Based
Ice Cream
A traditional creamy ice-cream is made from
a custard base. Here are some steps to help
you achieve perfect custard every time.
• Make sure the eggs are fresh and are at
room temperature.
• Have your ingredients measured out and
ready so that you are not leaving anything
waiting.
• Using a wire whisk or electric hand mixer,
beat the egg yolks and sugar in a large
deep bowl for about 3-4 minutes or until
light and creamy. The colour will go quite
light.
• Return the mixture into a clean saucepan
and cook over a low heat, stirring
constantly with a wooden spoon. The
custard mixture is ready when it thickens
and coats the back of a spoon. To test this
place the wooden spoon into the custard
mixture then turn the spoon over. Run your
finger once down the back of the spoon. If
the custard is thick enough it will keep the
finger mark, if it is still runny the mixture
will either not grab onto the back of the
spoon and look very thin or the finger mark
will not stay.
• If the mixture separates or curdles then
heat is too high.
• Do not leave the custard unattended while
cooking.
• The custard will take anywhere from 5-15
minutes to thicken depending on the type/
size of saucepan used. It is best to use a
low heat as different stove types will vary
greatly in heat.
• Place the milk/cream required for the
recipe in a saucepan.
• Heat the milk mixture on a low/medium
heat until the mixture looks like it is
almost about to boil. A good guide is when
little bubbles start to appear around the
edges of the milk. Be careful not to boil.
Should you boil the milk you will need to
start again.
• Once the custard has thickened, transfer
the mixture into a heat proof bowl. Allow
the mixture to cool before placing into
the refrigerator, cover and chill for several
hours before use.
• Using a wire whisk, whisk the hot milk
mixture gradually into the egg mixture
making sure that the two are well
combined.
8
Care & Cleaning
• Always turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet after use and
before cleaning.
• Pouring hole cover, paddle and base
may be placed on the top shelf of the
dishwasher.
NOTE: Never place the freezer canister in the
dishwasher.
• Wash the freezer canister in warm soapy
water. This can be done if the unit is
still partially frozen; it will not damage or
crack the unit. However, if the unit is still
partially frozen you must dry immediately
as the water will start to freeze inside the
unit. Be sure to rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not use abrasive scouring pads, powders
or cleaners.
• The motor unit should be cleaned by using
a damp cloth.
NOTE: Never immerse motor unit in water.
• Do not use sharp objects or utensils
inside the freezer canister. Sharp objects
will scratch and damage the inside of
the freezer canister. A plastic, wooden
or rubber spoon, or spatula, may be
used when the appliance is in the ‘OFF’
position.
NOTE: Never place the freezer canister in the
freezer if it is still wet.

No Added Sugar
GELATO
Ice Cream
Makes approx 1 litre (740g)
There are many different styles of gelato;
we have chosen two styles, sugar syrup and
custard based. Sugar syrup gelato has a light
refreshing taste with a hint of creaminess
to them while a custard based gelato has
a creamier texture but is lighter than ice
cream.
This recipe is also low in fat. We used CSR
Smart sugar for this recipe but if using another
sugar replacement use ½ cup.
Cooking & Prep time:
10 minutes + chilling time
When making sugar syrup based gelato it is
essential that the freezer canister is as cold
as possible. In most cases the ice cream
maker will not turn itself off as gelato has a
softer consistency. To gauge if your gelato is
ready, wait until the mixture comes close or
to the top of the paddle or looks quite frozen.
This time will vary depending on temperature
of ingredients, freezer canister and ambient
temperature.
