• You may also substitute articial sweeteners for sugar. If the
recipe is to be pre-cooked, add the sweetener after the heating
process is complete (the ingredients have been cooked). Stir the
mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
• When making sorbet, test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit
before you begin. The freezing process reduces the sweetness of
the fruit so that it will not taste as sweet as 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.

• Mixing times suggestions can vary due to ingredients and type
of recipe.
• Ingredients such as chocolate 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 lid.
• Hazelnuts and other similar ingredients should be roughly
chopped beforehand.
