Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Ice
- 0.25 cups Kosher salt
- 1 piece Quart-sized resealable plastic bag
- 1 piece Gallon-sized resealable plastic bag
Instructions
1. In the quart-sized resealable plastic bag, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Seal the bag tightly and remove as much air as possible to avoid leaks.
2. Place the quart-sized bag into the gallon-sized bag. Add the ice and kosher salt to the gallon bag, ensuring that the smaller bag is nestled in the middle of the ice.
3. Seal the gallon-sized bag tightly and again try to remove excess air.
4. Shake the bag vigorously for 7-10 minutes. If the bag becomes too cold to handle, wrap it in a dish towel or wear oven mitts for insulation.
5. Check the consistency of the ice cream. If it’s thickened to your liking, remove the quart-sized bag from the gallon bag. Rinse the quart-sized bag with cold water to remove any salt before opening it.
6. Serve the ice cream directly from the bag with a spoon, or transfer it to a bowl or cone. Add your favorite toppings if desired!
