Ice Cream Preparation

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

    If desired, add chocolate chips or crushed nuts during the last few minutes of churning.

  5. 5

    Freeze Ice Cream
