Method

Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.

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

If desired, add chocolate chips or crushed cookies during the last 5 minutes of churning to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.

Serve
Scoop and Enjoy
