Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you have time. This helps the flavors meld and improves the texture of the ice cream.

Churning the Ice Cream

  1. 3

    Prepare the Ice Cream Maker

    Make sure your ice cream maker is properly assembled and that the bowl is frozen (if required by your model).

  2. 4

    Churn the Mixture

    Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Adding Flavorings

  1. 5

    Incorporate Flavor Additions

    If using optional flavor additions like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fresh fruit, add them during the last 5 minutes of churning to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Freezing the Ice Cream

  1. 6

    Transfer to a Container

    Once churning is complete, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  2. 7

    Freeze Until Firm

    Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
