Ingredients
Scale
-
- 2 cups heavy cream
-
- 1 cup whole milk
-
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
-
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or your preferred flavor)
-
- Pinch of salt
For optional mix-ins, you can use:
-
- Fresh fruit (berries, strawberries, etc.)
-
- Nuts (like walnuts or almonds)
-
- Candy pieces (like M&M’s or chopped candy bars)
Instructions
-
- Prepare Your Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
-
- Chill the Base: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight. This step ensures your ice cream churns to the creamiest consistency.
-
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Most ice cream makers take about 20-30 minutes to churn a batch.
-
- Add Mix-Ins: During the last 2-3 minutes of churning, add your mix-ins. This ensures they’re evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
-
- Freeze and Set: Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to set. This will give it a scoopable consistency.
