Parts & Features

Before First Use

SETTING UP THE DELUXE GELATO & ICE CREAM MAKER

• Remove all packaging from the inside and outside of the Gelato & Ice Cream Maker.
• Check that the Maker has no visible damage and that no parts are missing. Ensure all parts and pieces are out of the packaging before discarding it.
• Before using for the first time (or after prolonged storage without use), wash any parts that will come into contact with food. See “Cleaning & Maintenance” on page 16.
• NOTE: Before making ice cream, place the Cooling Bowl in the freezer and leave it there for at least 24–48 hours. The temperature in the freezer must be at least 0℉ to allow the ice cream to churn and freeze properly. Remove the Cooling Bowl from the freezer just prior to preparing ice cream. Do not let the Cooling Bowl sit at room temperature for any amount of time prior to churning.
• Only use pre-chilled ingredients in the Maker. Do not use room temperature ingredients. For best results, prep ice cream mixture ahead of time and then refrigerate for at least two hours to overnight.

ASSEMBLING THE GELATO & ICE CREAM MAKER

1. Before assembling, ensure the Gelato & Ice Cream Maker is unplugged and that the On/Off Switch is in the “Off” position. Then, slide the Motor Block into the Lid until there is a slight “click” indicating it is secure. (photo A).
2. Insert the Spindle into the Paddle. (photo B).
3. Insert the Spindle attached to the Paddle into the underside of the Motor Block. (photo C).
4. Attach the Ring to the Outer Bowl. (photo D).
5. After freezing for 24–48 hours, use a cloth or oven mitts to remove the chilled Cooling Bowl from the freezer and place it inside the Outer Bowl. (photo E).
6. Place the Lid with Motor Block and attached Spindle/Paddle onto the Outer Bowl so that the arrows on the Motor Block and Bowl align (photo F).

USING THE GELATO & ICE CREAM MAKER

1. Prepare ice cream ingredients as per the recipe of choice. Transfer ingredients to a heat-safe bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Only use chilled ingredients in the Maker. Do not use room temperature or hot ingredients.
2. Place the properly assembled Maker on a stable surface to prepare for churning, but do NOT pour the mixture into the Maker yet, taking note that the Maker must be turned on and the Paddle turning before adding ingredients to prevent the mixture from freezing to the sides of the Cooling Bowl (photo A).
3. Plug the Maker in and press the Power Button. Once the Paddle begins to rotate, it’s appropriate to begin pouring the ice cream mixture through the Ingredient Chute (photo B).
4. Allow the Maker to churn until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency, up to 40 minutes depending on the recipe (photo C).
5. Once churning is complete, turn the Maker off. Press the Lid Lock Button to release the Lid and remove it (photo D). Use a non-metal utensil to scoop ice cream out of the Cooling Bowl and transfer it to a freezer-safe container, taking note that the ice cream will have the texture of soft-serve. For a firmer texture, place the freezer-safe container of ice cream back in the freezer to chill until it reaches the desired consistency, up to 4 hours.

DISASSEMBLING THE GELATO & ICE CREAM MAKER

• Once churning is complete, turn the Maker off. Press the Lid Lock Button to release the Lid and remove it. Use a non-metal utensil to scoop ice cream out of the Cooling Bowl and transfer it to a freezer-safe container.
• Use gloves or a paper towel to detach the Spindle and the Paddle from the Motor Block, then detach the Spindle from the Paddle.
• Use a cloth or oven mitts to remove the Cooling Bowl from the Outer Bowl.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Do not stop and restart the Gelato & Ice Cream Maker during the churning process, as this may cause the mixture to freeze if it stays in constant contact with the Cooling Bowl without being moved around by the Paddle. If the ingredients freeze, this will impede the movement of the Paddle and prevent churning. In the unlikely event of the motor overheating, the Maker will automatically shut off. If this happens, turn the On/Off Switch to Off, unplug the Maker, and allow it to cool.

• Unplug the Maker and allow the Motor Block to cool completely before cleaning.
• Allow the Cooling Bowl to warm to room temperature before cleaning. Wash the inside of the Bowl with warm, soapy water, but never submerge it in water.
• The Maker is NOT dishwasher safe. Wash the Lid, Paddle, and Outer Bowl in warm, soapy water.
• DO NOT submerge the Motor Block in water. Wipe with a damp cloth.
• DO NOT use harsh metal sponges as they could damage the Maker and its parts.
• Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning. Once completely dry, reassemble and store in a dry place. Never place the Cooling Bowl in the freezer if it is still wet.

• ¼ cup water
• 1 lemon, juiced

Directions:

VANILLA FROZEN YOGURT WITH OPTIONAL ADD-INS

• Bowl Chill Time: 24–48 hours
• Ingredients Chill Time: 2 hours
• Prep Time: 5–10 minutes
• Churn Time: 25–30 minutes
• Serves: 6–8

Ingredients:

• 32 ounces plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
• ⅓ to ½ cup sweetener of choice (honey or sugar)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch*
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Place the Cooling Bowl in the freezer to chill for 24–48 hours before making frozen yogurt.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients.
3. Pour into a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4. When ready to churn, remove the chilled ingredients from the fridge and whisk well. Remove the Cooling Bowl from the freezer. Power on the Dash Deluxe Gelato & Ice Cream Maker and begin churning before pouring in ingredients. Pour ingredients in through the Ingredient Chute, then churn for 25–30 minutes. The frozen yogurt will have the consistency of soft serve after churning. For firmer fro-yo, transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container and chill for 2–4 hours more or until desired consistency. If the frozen yogurt is too firm to scoop straight from the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.

Optional Add-ins:

• Chocolate: When mixing ingredients, stir in half a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder into the yogurt and increase the sweetener to half a cup as well.
• Peanut Butter: When mixing ingredients, add half a cup of peanut or almond butter.
• Coconut: When mixing ingredients, use coconut yogurt instead of plain. Or add ½ teaspoon of coconut extract to the original ingredients. Towards the end of churning, stir in a handful of shredded coconut or coconut flakes.
• Coffee: When mixing ingredients, stir in 1 teaspoon each of instant coffee granules and pure vanilla extract. Garnish with shaved chocolate or crushed coffee beans.

HAZELNUT ICE CREAM

• Bowl Chill Time: 24–48 hours
• Ingredients Chill Time: Overnight
• Prep Time: 2.5 hours
• Churn Time: 25–30 minutes
• Serves: 6–8

Ingredients:

• 2 cups peeled hazelnuts
• 3 cups whole milk, divided
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1½ cups sugar
• 6 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Place the Cooling Bowl in the freezer to chill for 24–48 hours before making ice cream.
2. On the stovetop in a dry pan, toast the hazelnuts until deep golden brown, watching closely so they don’t burn. Let cool slightly, then add to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped into coarse crumbs.
3. In a saucepan, add 2 cups of milk and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the hazelnut crumbs to let steep for 1–2 hours.
4. Fit a large mixing bowl with a fine mesh strainer. Pour the chilled mixture through the strainer. Press hard to strain any remaining liquid from the strainer. Transfer from bowl back to saucepan, add cream and remaining milk, and bring to a simmer.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, add egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla and whisk until thick and pale in color.
6. Slowly stream some of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and cook on low for 8–10 minutes or until thickened.
7. Use the fine mesh strainer on a large bowl to strain the mixture once more. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap is touching it directly to prevent a skin from forming on the top. Place in the fridge to chill overnight.
8. When ready to churn, remove the chilled ingredients from the fridge and whisk well. Remove the Cooling Bowl from the freezer. Power on the Dash Deluxe Gelato & Ice Cream Maker and begin churning before pouring in ingredients. Pour ingredients in through the Ingredient Chute, then churn for 25–30 minutes. The ice cream will have the consistency of soft serve after churning. For firmer ice cream, transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container and chill for 2–4 hours more or until desired consistency.
9. Scoop, serve, and enjoy this rich and robust flavor!
