- Freeze: Place the pints in the freezer for 24 hours, ensuring they are level to avoid uneven freezing.
Step 3: Process the Mixture

- Select the Desired Program: Depending on your recipe, choose the appropriate setting (Ice Cream, Sorbet, Gelato, etc.).
- Start the Machine: Press the start button and let the Creami process the frozen mixture into a creamy, smooth dessert.
Step 4: Add Mix-ins
- Open the Pint: Once the initial cycle is done, remove the lid and add your chosen mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, cookie dough).
- Reprocess: Place the pint back into the machine and select the “Mix-in” function to evenly distribute the added ingredients.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop and Serve: Your dessert is now ready to be scooped into bowls or cones. Add toppings if desired and enjoy immediately.
- Step 6: Store Any Leftovers
