Why is my Aroma AIC-204 Ice Cream Maker ice cream too soft?

  Homemade ice cream made with the Aroma Ice Cream Maker often has a milkshake consistency. To make it firmer, you can: freeze the mixture further by placing the freezing canister into the freezer, or add more ice to the wooden bucket and cover with a towel. You can also manually churn the ice cream until it reaches the desired consistency. Also, recipes with alcohol may inhibit freezing, so add those ingredients last. Ensure you're using enough rock salt, as too little can also prevent proper freezing.

How to best store Aroma AIC-204 Ice Cream Maker ice cream?
- M
  Mercedes CostaAug 3, 2025
  Homemade ice cream from the Aroma Ice Cream Maker doesn't have the preservatives found in store-bought ice cream, so it doesn't store well. It usually lasts about one week if stored properly. For the best results, place the ice cream in an airtight plastic container and keep it in the freezer.

What to do if the Aroma Ice Cream Maker motor stops during freezing?

  If the motor of your Aroma Ice Cream Maker stops early, it might be due to the canister or dasher jamming. This can happen if there's a blockage of ice in the wooden bucket; break it up into small pieces. If the dasher gets stuck, the ice cream might be done (it should have a milkshake consistency). Hard pieces in the mixture, like chocolate chips, can also cause jamming, so add those about 30 minutes into churning. Also, check if the ice cream has frozen around the edges of the freezing canister; scrape the edges to clear them.

Why does my Aroma AIC-204 Ice Cream Maker ice cream taste less sweet?

  Ice cream made with the Aroma Ice Cream Maker will always taste less sweet than the original mixture. Adjust the amount of sugar in your recipe to suit your personal taste, keeping in mind that the freezing process will lessen the sweetness of the final ice cream.
