Complete directions are packaged inside the Ice Cream Ball.

Here are some additional tips to help you get the best results:

1. When you add ingredients, leave about an inch of space to allow for expansion
2. If you cannot find rock salt, you can substitute table salt or kosher salt. We do not recommend using calcium chloride (used to melt driveway ice and snow)
3. Hand-tighten the ball to close; use the provided plastic wrench only to open it
4. To avoid damage, do not kick or throw the Ice Cream Ball
5. To ensure even freezing, pause to scrape the sides of the ice cream compartment with a wooden or plastic spoon after 10 minutes of mixing (15 minutes for Quart)
6. When you stop to stir the ice cream, also drain excess water from the ice end and refill with additional ice and rock salt
7. Handwash both ends of the Ice Cream Ball with warm, soapy water after each use
8. Pint recipes will work fine in the Quart-size Ice Cream Ball

ICE CREAM RECIPES using our ice cream ball (PINT size)

For Quart Size Recipes, simply double the pint size list of ingredients.

Note: Most of these recipes call for half-and-half. You can substitute cream for a richer, creamier dessert. Using whole or lowfat milk (or part milk and part half-and-half) produces a lighter, lower-fat ice cream, but takes longer to freeze.

BASIC VANILLA ICE CREAM

Ingredients

1 pint of Half & Half (1)

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Yield: about a pint of smooth and creamy ice cream.
