Method
Ice Cream Preparation
Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add Flavoring
If making vanilla ice cream, stir in the vanilla extract. For chocolate ice cream, add in the unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.
Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts during the last few minutes of churning.
Freeze
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
