Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker

Make decadent ice cream, rich creamy gelato and light sorbet that your family will love, all in the comfort of your own home. The easy to use, fully automatic Cuisinart ICE-100 Ice Cream and Gelato Maker features a commercial-style compressor so you can make batch after batch without waiting. Two unique mixing paddles and a 60-minute countdown timer work to ensure your homemade gelato, ice cream or sorbet has the perfect consistency.

Making Frozen Desserts

1. Use Cuisinart recipes included in the Instruction Booklet or use your own recipe, making sure your base does not go over the top dasher on the mixing paddle. Gelato and sorbet bases should be no more than 1 quart and ice cream bases should be no more than 5 cups. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, prepare the ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.
2. Place the mixing bowl into the base.
3. Place the ice cream or gelato/sorbet paddle in the mixing bowl so it rests in the center of the bowl.
4. Pour ingredients into the mixing bowl.
5. Press the Power button to turn the unit on and then set the timer per the recipe. The timer will default to 60 minutes.
6. Press the Start/Stop button to begin the Mixing/Cooling cycle.
7. Add ingredients such as chips and nuts towards the end of the mixing time once the mixture has begun to thicken.
8. Once the set time concludes, the 10-minute Keep Cool cycle will keep your ice cream or gelato cool.
9. When the frozen dessert is ready, transfer to a freezer-safe, airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.
