Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill.

Churning Process

  1. 3

    Prepare Ice Cream Maker

    Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is properly frozen according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually requires it to be in the freezer for at least 24 hours.

  2. 4

    Churn the Mixture

    Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Flavoring and Serving

  1. 5

    Add Optional Flavorings

    If desired, add your choice of optional flavorings (chocolate syrup, crushed cookies, or fruit puree) during the last 5 minutes of churning for even distribution.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once the soft serve is ready, serve immediately in bowls or cones, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
