Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, chocolate chips, fresh fruit
Instructions
- Gather all necessary tools: mixing bowls, whisk, measuring cups, and an ice cream maker (if available).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions (20-30 minutes for soft-serve consistency). If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour it into a shallow dish and freeze while stirring every 30 minutes.
- Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least four hours or until firm enough to scoop.
- Serve in bowls or cones with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating mix-ins like nuts or fresh fruit during the last few minutes of churning.
- Ensure all ingredients are cold before starting for best results.
