Base Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Ice Cream Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

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

Churning and Freezing

  1. 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. Typically, this takes about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Optional Mix-ins

    If desired, add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit during the last 5 minutes of churning.

  3. 5

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Serving

  1. 6

    Scoop and Serve

    Once the ice cream is fully frozen, use an ice cream scoop to serve into bowls or cones. Enjoy your homemade ice cream!
