Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Ice Cream Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

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

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Add Mix-ins

    If you want to add any mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or fruits, do so in the last 5 minutes of churning.

  5. 5

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
