Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Chill Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Churn Ice Cream

    Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream is thick and creamy.

  4. 4

    Freeze Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface. Seal the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
