Preparation of Ice Cream Base
Combine Base Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Cool the Mixture
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Churning the Ice Cream
Churn the Ice Cream
After the mixture has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Add Mix-Ins
If desired, add your choice of optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or fruit puree) during the last few minutes of churning.
Freezing
Transfer to Container
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Freeze
Cover the container with a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
