Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup mystery ingredient (your choice)
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Prepare your mystery ingredient. If it’s a solid (e.g., cookies, fruit, or candy), chop it into small, uniform pieces. If it's a liquid (e.g., syrup or extract), measure it out precisely.
Fold the mystery ingredient into the cream mixture. Stir gently so it is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, this takes about 20-25 minutes.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up.
Serve your Mystery Ice Cream in bowls or cones and enjoy the surprise flavor twist!
