Freshly churned homemade ice cream is just minutes away with the Duronic IM540. Designed with simplicity in mind, this machine will allow you to make homemade frozen desserts quickly and easily with almost no effort required. The only preparation needed is to pop the ice cream bowl in the freezer and prepare any fruit or ingredients you might want to add. Leave the rest of the work to the machine, as it will make a beautifully creamy dessert in less than 30 minutes.
Making frozen desserts at home has many advantages in that it can be healthier, tastier and less costly. However, one of the greatest benefits of making homemade ice cream is that you are in control of what ingredients are added. This means no nasty artificial preservatives, coloring's, flavourings or emulsifiers are going in. Instead, you get to choose exactly what goes in and how much. Completely customise your ice cream recipe by adding together ingredients in different combinations to find a unique flavour or recreate your all-time favourites. Try adding chocolate, caramel, mint, glacier cherries, fresh fruit, raisins, coffee, spices or vanilla extract. The possibilities are endless; you can mix together a combination or just have one flavour; it is totally up to you.
If you prefer to use a dairy-free alternative like soy, coconut or almond milk, you can use it to create a lighter dessert that is also suitable for vegans. For a more luxurious feel, use cream or gold-top milk to give your ice cream that extra silky creamy texture.
It is recommended that the bowl is put in the freezer at least 8 hours before use. We recommend finding a little space in your freezer to store the bowl permanently, this way it is always ready to use when you fancy making impromptu ice cream.
The IM540 comes with 1 bowl, however we also sell spare bowls separately.
This machine has a top-down motor which controls the paddle movement and speed.
As the paddle churns the whole ice cream mixture, it scoops it off the sides of the bowl at the same time, ensuring it doesn't stick and creates an even consistency.
The IM540 ice cream maker is easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning and storage.
The paddle and bowl are removable for washing with warm water and soap.
The transparent lid also comes away but should only be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth.
Choose the ingredients you would like to include and slowly add it to your mixture whilst the machine is stirring it.
This ensures that nothing sticks to the sides and that the ingredients get mixed in well throughout the whole ice cream.
In less than 30 minutes you will see your ingredients mix together and turn into a wonderfully creamy ice cream.
Experiment at home with a whole range of ingredients to see which ones work for you and which combinations are the tastiest.
Scoop out and eat your ice cream straight away, or transfer into a freezer-proof tupperware container and store in the freezer for another time.
The possibilities are endless! Once you know how simple and easy it is to make ice cream at home, you'll never opt for ready-made ice cream again!
