  If your ice cream is too soft, several factors could be the cause. Insufficient salt may hinder the freezing process, so ensure you're using the correct amount of rock salt. Also, recipes containing alcohol can inhibit freezing, so add alcohol only during the last few minutes of churning. For immediate help, remove the dasher, put the lid and lid cap on the mixing canister, and place it in the freezer to harden.

  Before using the Nostalgia Electrics Ice Cream Maker, it is necessary to soak the wooden bucket in water for at least an hour and a half. This should prevent the salt-water mixture from leaking.

Why is my Nostalgia Electrics DFIM Ice Cream Maker ice cream grainy?

  Kevin BradfordAug 14, 2025
  A grainy or hard texture in your ice cream can occur if churning is interrupted, causing large ice crystals to form; therefore, do not stop churning once started. Also, too much salt can cause the mixture to freeze too quickly, leading to ice crystals. Pay close attention to the amount of rock salt used.

  If the canister or dasher jams, turn off the motor and break up any large ice pieces in the bucket. Ensure the mixture isn't thicker than soft serve consistency. If using hard ingredients like nuts or chocolate, add them after churning. Avoid stopping the churning process, as this can cause hardening. If the dasher is stuck, use a plastic spoon or spatula to scrape the frozen mixture from the canister's edges.
