Ice Cream Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Ice Cream Base

    In a medium 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 the ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill. This will help the flavors meld and improve the texture of the ice cream.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ice Cream Maker

    If using an ice cream maker, make sure it is frozen according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically requires the bowl to be in the freezer for at least 24 hours before churning.

  4. 4

    Churn the Ice Cream

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

  5. 5

    Transfer to a Container

    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it tightly. If desired, you can fold in any mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.

  6. 6

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your housemade ice cream!
