Homemade ice cream

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Mix the Ingredients:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.

2. Chill the Mixture:

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until thoroughly chilled. This helps the ice cream churn more efficiently and results in a creamier texture.

3. Churn the Ice Cream:

  • Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Churn the ice cream for 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

4. Freeze for Firmness:

  • Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and smooth the top.
  • Freeze for an additional 2-4 hours for a firmer texture.

5. Serve:

  • Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and serve with your favorite toppings (optional).

Variations:

  • Add-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fruit after the ice cream has churned but before freezing for a firmer texture.
  • Flavoring: Replace vanilla with other flavor extracts (almond, peppermint, etc.) to customize your ice cream.
