Ice Cream Base

Method

Making the Ice Cream

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Flavor

    Stir in the vanilla extract. You can also add any other flavorings or mix-ins you desire at this stage.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Freeze

    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
