Serves 8

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and whole milk until well combined.
  2. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, ensuring a smooth, sweet base.
  3. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container. For a firmer texture, freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
  5. Serve your homemade vanilla ice cream in bowls or cones. Feel free to top it with your favorite sauces, sprinkles, or fresh fruit to enhance your treat!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra boost of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of almond extract.
  • 💡 You can also mix in chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fresh fruit during the last few minutes of churning for delicious variations.
  • 💡 If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe! Simply pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
