Where to find the Soft Serve Accessories
You’ll find all the accessories for the soft serve ice cream machine inside the pantry to the left of the fridge, in the green basket on the bottom shelf.
Here’s a list of the ice cream machine accessories, along with a little description:
2 Ice cream swirl pints – the transparent containers with the soft serve nozzle on the bottom.
2 Grey covers – Used to store the swirl pints in the freezer
Swirl Press – The white cover. It gets placed on top of the swirl pint to push the ice cream out of the pint
Outer Bowl – The container with a handle. It’s where you place the swirl pint to soften the ice cream.
Outer Bowl Lid – The black cover that goes on top of the outer bowl lid. The black cover has a blade that softens the ice cream.
Note: All the accessories are top-rack dishwasher safe or can be hand-washed.

Easy Soft Serve Recipes
If you’re looking for something simple and fast, we’ve done the ‘Simple Store-bought Soft Serve’ on page 3 of Ice Cream and Lite Ice Cream
Another easy one is the ‘One-Ingredient Frozen Yogurt’ on page 20 of the CreamiFit and Frozen Yogurt – you just need to let it sit in the freezer for 24 hours. One thing to keep in mind the softening process with the frozen yogurt is a bit noisy for a about 4 minutes – it isn’t something you should do when everyone is sleeping in the house.
