Base Ingredients

Optional Mix-ins

Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    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 Ice Cream

  1. 3

    Churn the Mixture

    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.

  2. 4

    Add Mix-ins

    If you are using mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit puree, add them in the last 5 minutes of churning.

Freezing

  1. 5

    Transfer and Freeze

    Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals. Seal the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
