DO NOT immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it with a moist cloth.
Wash the lids, freezer bowls and mixing arms 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.
FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION
5
The freezer bowls must be completely frozen before you begin your reci‑
pe. 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 bowls in the freezer at all times. You can take them out
any time for immediate use. 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 freez‑
er burn. We recommend that you place the freezer bowls in the back of
your freezer where it is coldest.
will depend on the recipe, and the volume of the dessert or drink you
are 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.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to ‑18°C to ensure proper freezing
of all foods and the freezer bowls for this product
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.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS OR DRINKS
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 litre or less. For best results, prepare ingredients
in a container that is easy to pour from.
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.
2. Remove the freezer bowl(s) from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if
you have wrapped freezer bowls.) Place freezer bowls on the centre
of the base.
NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from
freezer. Use it immediately after removing from freezer.
SAFETY FEATURE

The Cuisinart® Flavour Duo is equipped with a safety feature that auto‑
matically 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 ingredients (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.
rests in the centre of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid(s) on base. Easy‑lock lid mechanism allows lid to rest on
base in one position. Set lid(s) slightly off centre and turn clockwise
to lock in place.
CLEANING AND STORAGE

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 litre.
• Make sure mixing arm and lid are in place and that you have chosen
the one‑ or two‑ bowl button position before turning on machine.
Recipe Tips
• Well-chilled mixtures may require shorter mixing times.
• Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart® Flavour Duo 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.
BASIC ICE CREAMS
VANILLA ICE CREAM
Vanilla is still the number one ice cream flavour – this one is particularly
easy and doesn’t require cooking. Try one of our variations, or let your
imagination go.
• 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.
Preparation: 5 minutes, plus 20 to 25 minutes chilling time, plus additional
time, for firmer consistency.
• To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and water. Place
saucepan or other container into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredi‑
ents completely.
Makes eight servings
• Prior to freezing, most recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up
to 3 days.

• You may substitute lower-fat creams 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, consistency and
texture of the dessert. When substituting, be sure to use the same vol‑
ume 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).
In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and
granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes on low
speed. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla to taste. Turn the machine ON,
pour mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25
minutes. The ice cream will have a soft creamy texture. If desired, trans-
fer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer until it has
reached desired firmness.
• 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 mixing. Otherwise, the alcohol may impede the freezing process.
• 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.

drink. When pouring ingredients in through the ingredient spout, DO
NOT fill the freezer bowl higher than 1cm from the top of the freezer
bowl. The ingredients will increase in volume during the

VARIATION
Combine milk and cream in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring to a
simmer over medium low heat. In a medium bowl, beat the sugar, egg,
and egg yolk until thick and light. Measure out one cup of the hot milk
mixture. With the mixer on low speed, add the hot milk to the egg
mixture in a steady stream. Stir the egg mixture into the saucepan.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 70°C
when checked with an instant read or candy thermometer. Add the
chopped white chocolate, and stir until it is completely melted. Transfer
to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface of the
custard and refrigerate until completely cooled.
Mocha Chip Ice Cream: Use 1 tablespoon each instant espresso pow-
der and Dutch process cocoa instead of just espresso powder. Chop 90
grams of your favourite bittersweet or semisweet chocolate bar into tiny
uneven pieces. Add the chopped chocolate during the last 5 minutes of
mixing.
PISTAChIO ICE CREAM
Chopped pistachios and a touch of almond extract add rich flavour to
this delicious ice cream.
Preparation: 5 minutes, plus 20 to 25 minutes chilling time, plus addi-
tional time, for firmer consistency.
Turn the machine on, pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl and
let mix until thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. If desired, transfer the
frozen yoghurt to an airtight container and place in freezer until it has
reached desired firmness.
