Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Base Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  4. 4

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours to firm up.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade vanilla ice cream!
