Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vanilla Base

    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 completely dissolved. This will be your vanilla soft serve base.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chocolate Base

    In another bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, Dutch cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar and cocoa are fully dissolved, creating your chocolate soft serve base.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixtures

    Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the mixtures are well chilled.

  4. 4

    Churn the Mixture

    Once chilled, pour the vanilla base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Repeat with the chocolate base.

  5. 5

    Serve as Swirl or Individual Flavors

    If serving as a swirl, alternate scoops of vanilla and chocolate soft serve into cups or cones for a delightful presentation. Otherwise, serve each flavor separately.

  6. 6

    Enjoy!

    Serve immediately for a soft serve texture, or freeze for a firmer texture before serving.
