How do I cool a cooked Creami base quickly?
Quick answer
Stand the pint in a large bowl of ice and water until the base is below 4°C (40°F), then put it in the freezer.
Fix it now
- Pour the strained base into an empty pint.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water and stand the pint in it.
- Once the base is below 4°C (40°F), put the lid on and freeze for 24 hours.
Why it happens
A hot base would warm up your freezer, so SharkNinja recommends an ice bath for recipes that are cooked first, such as gelato.
Next time
- Cook custard bases to 74–79°C (165–175°F). Cooler is unsafe for the eggs and hotter can scramble them.
