Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
Tips
- For best results, chill the ice cream base in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before churning.
- Customize by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fruit during the last 2 minutes of churning.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, but cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
