Preparation
Mix the Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.
Churning
Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Mix-ins and Freezing
Add Optional Mix-ins
If desired, fold in your choice of optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, crushed cookies, chopped nuts) into the churned ice cream.
Freeze the Ice Cream
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
