Ice Cream Base

Method

Ice Cream Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is cold.

  3. 3

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  4. 4

    Freeze the Ice Cream

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

Chocolate Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Heat the Cream

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

  2. 6

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Once the cream is simmering, remove it from the heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
