Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even in personal injury.

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”.

NOTE: Prior to 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°F 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.

1. Prior to 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.

2. Insert the Spindle into the Paddle.

3. Insert the Spindle attached to the Paddle into the underside of the Motor Block.

4. Attach the Ring to the Outer Bowl.

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.

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.

1. Prepare ice cream ingredients as per 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 mixture into the Maker yet, taking note that Maker must be turned on and the Paddle turning prior to adding ingredients to prevent the mixture from freezing to the sides of the Cooling Bowl.

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.

4. Allow the maker to churn until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency up to 40 minutes depending on the recipe.

5. 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, 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 desired consistency, up to 4 hours.

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 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.

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.

It is recommended to freeze the Cooling Bowl for 24-48 hours before preparing ice cream. For best results, ensure ice cream ingredients have been chilled as well.

The Cooling Bowl is most effective in the first 20 minutes of use and needs to be placed in the freezer for 24-48 hours before being used again.

Bowl Chill Time: 24-48 hours • Ingredients Chill Time: 2 hours • Prep Time: 5-10 minutes • Inactive Prep Time: 6 hours • Churn Time: 20-25 minutes • Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

4 large egg yolks

¾ cup sugar

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

⅔ cup chopped dark chocolate

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until mixture is smooth, thick, and a pale yellow color. This will take around 30 seconds. Then whisk in the milk, cream, salt and vanilla until evenly combined.

2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisking almost constantly, cook the mixture until an instant-read thermometer reads 170°F, approximately 10 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and whisk in cocoa powder and dark chocolate until well combined. Allow to cool slightly.

4. Strain the gelato base through a fine mesh strainer into a medium-size bowl, preferably one with a pouring spout.

5. Place plastic wrap directly against the surface of the liquid to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until the mixture is very cold, at least 6 hours or up to two days in advance.

6. When ready to churn, briefly whisk the mixture. Power on the Dash Deluxe Gelato & Ice Cream Maker and begin churning before pouring in ingredients. Pour mixture in through Ingredient Chute. Once the gelato has churned for about 20-25 minutes, it will likely be a soft serve consistency.

7. Transfer to a loaf pan (or similar sized pan), cover, and freeze until fully frozen but scoopable, up to 2 hours.

8. Scoop, serve, and enjoy a chocolate party!

Chef Tip! Enjoy within 1-2 weeks for best flavor and texture. If the gelato is too firm to scoop directly out of the freezer, let it sit on the counter or in the refrigerator for 5 minutes before serving.
