Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Plain full-fat yogurt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, and salt. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the plain full-fat yogurt and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
After chilling, pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top using a spatula and place a piece of parchment paper over the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 3 hours, or until it is firm and scoopable.
Remove from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the ice cream to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
