Servings: 8

Ingredients

Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla extract
2 teaspoons
Granulated sugar
3/4 cup
Whole milk
2 cups
Heavy cream
2 cups

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and to chill the base.
  3. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until the mixture thickens and resembles soft serve.
  4. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top. For a firmer texture, freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
  5. Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy each creamy spoonful!
