Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

  2. 2

    Chill the Base

    Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. This helps to enhance the flavor and improve the texture of the ice cream.

Flavoring the Ice Cream

  1. 3

    Choose Your Flavor

    Once the base is chilled, divide the base mixture into separate bowls based on the flavors you want to create.

  2. 4

    Add Flavorings

    For chocolate ice cream, mix in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated. For strawberry ice cream, blend in the fresh strawberries until smooth. For cookies and cream, fold in the crushed Oreos. For pistachio ice cream, add the chopped pistachios. For mint ice cream, stir in the mint extract until evenly distributed.

Churning and Freezing

  1. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour your flavored base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  2. 6

    Freeze the Ice Cream

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