Method
Ice Cream Base Preparation
- 1
Combine the Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. This helps the flavors meld and improves the texture of the ice cream.

Churn the Ice Cream Base
Pour the chilled ice cream base into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically 20-25 minutes.

Add Optional Flavorings
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add your choice of optional flavorings (chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, or fresh strawberries) to the ice cream mixture.
Freezing the Ice Cream

Transfer and Freeze
Once churning is complete, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover with a lid, and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
