Ice Cream Base

Method

Ice Cream Preparation

  1. 1

    Make Vanilla Ice Cream Base

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Make Chocolate Ice Cream Base

    In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of the chilled vanilla mixture with cocoa powder until smooth. Chill again for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make Pistachio Ice Cream Base

    In another bowl, combine 1 cup of the chilled vanilla mixture with chopped pistachios. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavor.

  4. 4

    Make Espresso Ice Cream Base

    In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of the chilled vanilla mixture with espresso powder until well combined. Chill for an additional 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour each flavor into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Churn until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  6. 6

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the ice cream to airtight containers and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
