The term refers to a collection of instructions and ingredient lists specifically designed for use with a compact, personal-sized ice cream making appliance manufactured by Dash. These formulations are tailored to the capacity and operational characteristics of the small appliance, typically yielding a single serving or a small batch of frozen dessert. As an example, a recipe might specify using a cup of cream, a quarter cup of sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to create a small portion of vanilla ice cream within the appliance.
Formulations designed for this specific appliance offer a convenient and controlled method for creating frozen desserts. Their benefit lies in the ability to produce single servings, minimizing waste and allowing for experimentation with diverse flavors without requiring a large-scale production. The historical context of similar appliance-specific recipe sets reflects a broader trend in domestic culinary practices, focusing on individual portions and simplified preparation methods.
