Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Churn for 20-25 minutes or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 2-4 hours for a firmer texture.
If not using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer, and every 30 minutes, stir and break up any ice crystals with a fork. Repeat this process for 2-3 hours until the ice cream is thick and creamy.
Scoop and serve the ice cream in bowls or cones. Enjoy your homemade vanilla ice cream!
