Ice Cream Base

Method

Ice Cream Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Chill Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

  3. 3

    Churn Ice Cream

    Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  4. 4

    Freeze Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Chocolate Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Heat Ingredients

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

  2. 6

    Add Butter and Vanilla

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and fully incorporated.

  3. 7

    Cool Sauce

    Let the chocolate sauce cool slightly before serving; it will thicken as it cools.
