time for fresh fruit desserts is about 15 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of
the dessert you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire
a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two
or more hours.
NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to the sides of the freezer
bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a freezer-safe, airtight container.
NOTE: Do not switch off the Iced Dessert Maker once churning, as the mixture will freeze and it may
not be possible to resume the process.

Dessert tips
• For frozen fresh fruit desserts, the fruits that work best and require only minimal preparation include
softer items like bananas, mangos, strawberries, kiwis, apricots and peaches. Firm items like apples,
pears or unripe peaches should first be cooked until soft, to achieve the smoothest, frozen results.
• Cooking fruit is an opportunity to infuse it with flavours and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg or
fresh herbs like mint or basil. If cooking fruit, chill before adding to the freezer bowl.
• Harder items like coconut, hard-seeded items like pomegranate, pulpy items like citrus, or fibrous
items like pineapple should be blended first or cut up into small pieces and mixed in with other
creamier fruits like bananas, mangoes or strawberries for best results.
• For best results, cut fruit into 2.5-5cm pieces.
• 700g of fruit is the recommended average for processing at one time.
• Processing 700g of fruit usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Time will vary based on type of
ingredients used, as well as amount.
• Frozen fruit dessert consistency can be adjusted by adjusting the freeze time. The longer the fruit is
churned, the smoother the consistency.
• Most fruits can be ready to serve in as little as 15 minutes. The higher the water content, the faster
the freeze. For instance, watermelon is ready in 10 minutes.
