Prepare them at least a day previously to ensure they chill completely and expand. · In the case of cold mixtures, the best results are obtained by beating the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk. · The majority of mixtures consist of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You can use whatever cream you wish, but the flavour and texture will change greatly according to the quality of cream chosen. The higher the percentage of fat in the cream, the richer the ice cream will be. For example, whole cream contains a minimum of 36% fat, whipped cream 30%, cream for coffee or skimmed cream 18% and half cream plus half milk 10%. In all cases, the important thing is to always maintain the same quantity of liquid. For example, the lightest ice cream can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating the cream altogether. You can also use skimmed milk, but the texture of the ice cream will be very different. · The ice cream mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for a number of days. · Add the mixture until the cylinder is no more than half full. Liqueurs should therefore be added during the final minutes of preparation. · The flavour of sorbets depends largely on the degree of ripeness and sweetness of the fruit and juice used. Remember that cold reduces sweetness. 6 · Sweeteners can be used in place of sugar. In this case, add the sweetener to the mixture and mix until completely dissolved. · Mixtures which require heating must not be poured into the cylinder until they are completely cold. · If you want to make the mixture sweeter during preparation, do not add sugar directly into the cylinder (it does not dissolve). You are recommended to dissolve the sugar in a little water or skimmed milk and pour the resulting syrup (cooled) into the cylinder. · The fruit used in the recipes must always be washed and dried before use.
