Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt.
Whisk thoroughly until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20–25 minutes.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight freezer-safe container.
Freeze for 3–4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Serve and enjoy.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, ensure the ice cream base is fully chilled before churning.
Store in an airtight container to minimize ice crystal formation.
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
Add mix-ins such as chocolate chips, cookies, nuts, or fruit during the final minutes of churning.
Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within 2 weeks.
