Ingredients
Base Ingredients
Optional Mix-ins
Prepare the Ice Cream Base
1. 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.
2. 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 Ice Cream
3. Prepare Ice Cream Maker
Ensure your ice cream maker's bowl is fully frozen according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically requires at least 24 hours in the freezer.
4. 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.
Add Mix-ins and Freeze
5. Incorporate Mix-ins
If desired, add chocolate chips or crushed cookies during the last 5 minutes of churning to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.
6. Freeze the Ice Cream
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve
7. Scoop and Enjoy
Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade vanilla ice cream!
