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

Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Churn the Ice Cream

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

Freeze the Ice Cream

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

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Variation

Prepare Cookie Dough

In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.

Add Cookie Dough to Ice Cream

Once the ice cream is churned to a soft-serve consistency, add spoonfuls of the prepared cookie dough into the ice cream maker during the last few minutes of churning.

Freeze the Completed Ice Cream

Transfer the cookie dough ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
