Preparation
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze the Ice Cream
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve
Scoop the vanilla ice cream into bowls and drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
