Preparation

Combine Base Ingredients
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 fully dissolved. This will create the base for your ice cream.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. Chilling the mixture helps enhance the flavors and improves the texture of the ice cream.

Churn the Mixture
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the ice cream until it thickens and has a soft, creamy texture. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Add Optional Mix-ins
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add any optional mix-ins you desire, such as chocolate chips, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit. Allow them to mix evenly throughout the ice cream.
