Method
Ice Cream Base Preparation
- 1
Mix the Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved and all the ingredients are well combined.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. This helps the flavors meld together and ensures a smoother texture.

Churn the Ice Cream
After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Add Flavorings (optional)
If desired, add chocolate chips, fruit puree, or crushed cookies during the last 5 minutes of churning. This allows for even distribution in the ice cream.

Transfer and Freeze
Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to an airtight container. Spread it evenly and smooth the top. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
