Method
Ice Cream Base
- 1
Combine liquids
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is mostly dissolved and mixture is uniform.
- 2
Chill mixture (if making homemade)
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until thoroughly chilled. Chilling helps the mixture freeze faster and yields creamier texture.
- 3
Freeze in ice cream maker (optional)
If you are making homemade ice cream, pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches soft-serve consistency (typically 20–30 minutes). Transfer to a shallow container and freeze for 2–4 hours for scoopable texture. If using store-bought ice cream, skip to Serving & Garnish.

Serve immediately. Leftover homemade ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
