Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the mixture into the container of your ice cream maker.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve ice cream consistency. This typically takes 20-25 minutes, depending on your ice cream maker.
Once churned, transfer the ice milk to an airtight, freezer-safe container.
Freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow the ice milk to firm up to a scoopable texture.
Serve in bowls or cones, and enjoy immediately. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to one week.
