Nostalgia Electrics ICM-507 Old Fashioned Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker recipes

You are on the wrong site for this, try eBay.

My Nostalgia Ice maker shows low water, but there is water up to the fill line.

Freeze the the container for at least 48 hours before using it. You can use whatever ice cream recipe you like in the unit. Basic vanilla - 3 cups whole milk - 1 teas vanilla - 1 cup heavy whipping cream - 1/2 cup sugar. Mix everything together in a pitcher and make sure the sugar is disolved. Taste it and make sure it is sweet enough for you. If not, add more sugar. If you use 2% your ice cream will not be very thick and it will take longer to set up and freeze.

Put the container in the ice cream maker. Turn it on (insert the plastic mixing blade if it has one) Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker if it has an open space to add mix through the top. If not - put the mix in before turning it on (my model is a little different than yours - sorry!)

when the ice cream is thick enough for you - then its done. It usually takes approx 15 - 20 for soft serve/milk shake consistency - and 30 - 45 for stiffer - ice cream. The ice cream does not get hard - at best its soft serve quality. There are other recipes that you cook which I hear will set up harder but I have not tried any yet.

You can make chocolate by using the same recipe above - and adding any liquid chocolate - or fudge. If you add strawberry preserves - it makes strawberry ice cream. sugar free drink mix added to the vanilla recipe above makes great flavors (crystal light drink power mixes ect)

Good luck!

2. Cool and add the flavoring.
3. Freeze till soft mush, then add the whipped cream.
4. Turn the freezer as fast as possible for five minutes; remove dasher, repack and let stand thirty minutes before serving.

I remember sitting on Grandpa's old hand-crank ice cream maker
as a kid, holding it down for Grandpa! Add ice to the maker in about 4" increments, layering in between with a good sprinkling of rock salt (lowers the freezing point of water, so the saltwater solution is actually below freezing), crank until the motor won't turn, then CAREFULLY remove the paddles (DON'T CONTAMINATE the ice cream with the brine solution!) cover the top with plastic wrap or wax paper and let it "firm up" for 15-30 minutes. Then enjoy a great old-fashioned treat!!! Hope this helps, let me know how it goes, and good luck and happy eating! -WB

Unfortunately, Nostalgia Electrics has stopped (AGAIN!) production of the ICM-517 and ICM 562 Soft Serve Ice Cream Makers. And the company customer service is a "bear" to get a call back from. You could go to the Helman Group, LTD website or the Nostalgia Electrics website and click on customer service and type in your request, but don't expect a quick answer. And there is an 800 # to call also, but you will only get the voice mail and leave a message. No live person, just a call back, if you're really really good and really lucky. It's a shame they have so much trouble with these, they seem to do well with the Popcorn machines, cotton candy, and drink machines, hot dogger, ect. You'd think they could debug this one too. Kindest regards, Joe.

I found the manual able to be downloaded on multiple sites. Go to Google, type in the words old fashioned ice cream maker, and in the returns you will find links to web addresses that have these manuals available for downloading using Adobe. The original manuals in both English and Spanish. I didn't save the webaddresses, but I can assure you that they are there on Google. Don't type in Nostalgic Electrics Old Fashioned Ice Cream Server, just old fashioned ice cream server, and then go to the web address, it's the one that states they have the manuals for all ice cream makers, and type in the ICM-507 product designation or just click the available picture of the ICM-507. I will try and recover that web address and post it here. Found it! Here it is: www.pickyourown.org/icecreammakermanuals.htm I can assure you it is there! if you want the whole enchalada: www.pickyourown.org/icecream/Nostalgia%20%old%fashioned%20%soft%20serve%20ice%20cream%20maker%20manual%20ICM-562.pdf. And thats the real "skinny" for this model folks! Whew, you'll have carpal tunnell time you put all that in there. Kindest regards, Joe R. Downs Jr.
