Description
Making frozen desserts at home is a healthier alternative to buying commercially available products as it contains no additives and preservatives for aeration and shelf life, but how do you recreate light and fluffy ice creams, smooth and creamy gelatos or sorbets that are dense and rich in flavour, all from the one machine at home?
The Breville Smart Scoop is the world's first domestic ice cream maker to incorporate automatic hardness sensing. Users can choose between Ice Cream, Gelato, Frozen Yoghurt or Sorbet, and the Smart Scoop will automatically freeze and churn to achieve the perfect texture and consistency.
Key Features
and/or Benefits
Frozen desserts have different textures and consistencies. Existing ice cream makers' work off a basic timer, but the time varies depending on the ingredients and whether the base mix has been refrigerated. Too little time and your dessert will be watery, too long and the dessert will be hard on the outside and melted on the inside.
A sensor in the Breville Smart Scoop monitors the hardness of its contents throughout its operation. No longer would you need to guess how long to operate the machine for, as it will automatically stop when your frozen dessert is ready.

Home made frozen desserts are best served just after it has set. Without the addition of commercial stabilizers, recrystallization during storage makes the ice creams too hard and difficult to serve. Timing your dessert to finish is difficult as the time it takes can vary by as much as 60 minutes.
To ensure that your dessert is ready to serve when you are, a unique 'Keep Cool' program monitors your desserts' consistency after it is done. If your dessert has melted below a prescribed threshold, it will automatically freeze and churn the mix back up to the desired consistency.

Less air is whipped into Gelato's to create the smooth and creamy consistency when compared with the light and fluffy texture of an Ice Cream. Commercial machines employ large cooling systems to set the gelato quicker which reduces the churning required.
Pre-Cool works by reducing the temperature of the cooling chamber down to its optimal operating temperature before the base mix is introduced. As the machine is already cold when the base mix is inserted, it will take less time for it to freeze, reducing the churning/aeration required to achieve the dense, creamy consistency of a Gelato.

A popular addition to your frozen dessert is a variety of mix-ins, whether they are nuts, chocolate chips or fruit. It is best to add softer mix-ins when the dessert is almost ready, as the churning action of the ice cream paddle may break down these ingredients too much. By using a combination of time and hardness sensing, the Smart Scoop can prompt you to add your favourite condiments through an audible alert and a display on the LCD at precisely the right time. The lid has a large integrated mix-in's opening to make it easy to add your ingredients.
The Smart Scoop features a LCD which provides information such as temperature, time of operation and hardness indication. Simply select your dessert through the rotary dial, press start, and a visual and audible alert will sound when the dessert is ready for consumption. To make the experiencing even more engaging, an optional musical alert can recreate the experience of an ice cream truck. The manual timer function can be used to override the hardness sensing for those following a specific recipe base, and a child lock prevents interruptions to its operation when children are waiting for their favourite desserts!
