DESSERT
- 1
Base preparation
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 0.67 cups granulated sugar, 0.25 tsp fine salt, and 0.25 tsp xanthan gum (if using). Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.

Flavor and texture boosters
Remove from heat. Whisk in 2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbs light corn syrup until well combined.

Chill base
Pour the base into a clean container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, until completely chilled.

Churn
Pour the chilled base into your cold ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until thick and soft-serve in consistency.

No-machine method (optional)
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, transfer the chilled base to a shallow container and freeze. Stir vigorously every 30 minutes for 3–4 hours to break up ice crystals, until smooth and soft-serve.

Prepare toppings
Warm the hot fudge and caramel sauces slightly if needed so they drizzle easily. Set out whipped cream, sprinkles, chopped nuts, and cherries within easy reach.
