In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or honey, a tablespoon at a time.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it into an airtight container.
Freeze the ice cream for 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up further, if desired.
Serve the ice cream scooped into bowls or cones and enjoy!
