ALDI Ambiano Ice Cream Maker Questions & Answers

Hi Eloise,

May we ask for the model number, please so we can check?

Thanks

Same . Is this supposed to happen ? Model IA554

Same. IA5554

Same. IA5554. Secret Santa present we’ve just taken out of the box so no way of returning it. I don’t feel safe to use it though.

We brought ours back & got a refund. It didn't get cold enough & was useless! Get a refund, they don't work properly with or without the paddle!

Thank you CJC, was yours the round or the square design? Mine works incredibly well, so it sounds like one model might have been a lemon? Anyway, I’ll pass on to our friends. Thank you again

Have a recipe booklet now that I’d be happy to share.

That would be great. How do you want to go about it?

Please share…

The paddle simply pulls out to remove it.

Vanilla essence Pure icing sugar Full cream milk Whipping cream Egg yolks

The machine makes up to 1.5 litres of ice cream, which is the capacity of the bowl.

The recipe specifies the amount of milk needed to make the ice cream.

I hope this helps you to reconcile the two references

Thank you I thought the first time I tryed it looked like it could make a lot more. Thanks

You will find that as you vary ingredients and add to the base recipe you will end up with more in your machine.

Hi - just saw these makers for sale still this week on Special buys. Any more feedback from other users pls?....does the recipe/600ml ‘MAX’ line marked in the bowl get you double the ice-cream so maybe 1L or up to 1.5L in the end? Thanks

I made a normal recipe of ice cream which was a lt and it worked great thanks for your help.

You can buy freezer bags at the supermarket, they’re just normal plastic bags really Unsure of purpose in this context

The freezer bowl has to be put in the freezer prior to churning ice-cream. if this is at room temperature its not going to work. Placed churning bowl in freezer when not in use so its ready if you chose to make ice-cream on a whim. Placer it in a freezer bag to protect it.

@Megan P. The ONLY reason I asked my stupid questions was for clarification as other answers regarding a "freezer bag" stated that this was NOT negotiable, with no clarification given. If the instructions stated to "use a plastic bag to protect the bowl while in the freezer" then that would have been obvious. @Brandysnap I do understand why the bowl needs to be frozen etc I have no spare space to leave the bowl in my freezer to make ice cream on a whim so thanks for your factual response which is of no real use to me ;-)

You need to put the freezer bowl in the freezer, otherwise it won’t work!

Yep, got that part but it says to put it in a FREEZER BAG. Just wondered if this was necessary

Yes

You have to put the churner in the freezer or the ice cream wont solidify and will be a liquid mess. Whether you put it in a freezer bag is up to you. I suspect its for cleanliness/hygiene purposes. I would leave churner in freezer at all times so its ready whenever you wish to make ice-cream

The real answer is that it protects the inside of the bowl. A normal old plastic bag will do. Everyone talks in riddles around here.

The bag is probably to keep moisture / condensation from forming in the inside of the ice cream freezer bowl. The ice crystals may interfere with the paddle churning the ice cream mixture and add ice crystals to the ice cream making it taste not as good as it should be. As for the bag, I haven't used it yet. but haven't let it sit in the freezer for very long without using it in a day or two. The long and short of it is if you keep it in the freezer for extended time I would definitely use the plastic bag to keep it dry and frozen ( about -5 degrees is best ). Makes great Ice cream!

No

It’s on sale again this week - maybe ask at he local store whether they will let you make a copy!

If you go online and type Ambiano ice cream maker, one of the options that comes up is Ambiano ice cream maker instructions, or manual. It's in pdf format so you can either copy it onto paper, or print it.

Use a search engine external link 

Yes

Greetings

If you’ve lost the book, I suggest you contact ALDI and ask for a replacement.

That way, you will have all the pertinent information and recipes at your disposal :-)

Best wishes!
