Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Base

    In a large 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 mixture is smooth.

  2. 2

    Chilling the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Churning

  1. 3

    Churning the Ice Cream

    Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually about 20-30 minutes.

  2. 4

    Adding Mix-ins

    If you are adding any mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or fruit, do so in the last 5 minutes of churning to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.

Freezing

  1. 5

    Storing the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it with a lid. Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours to allow it to firm up.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serving the Ice Cream

    Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade ice cream!
