Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 0.5 cup Kosher salt (or rock salt)
- 1 piece Gallon-sized ziplock bag
- 1 piece Quart-sized ziplock bag
Instructions
In the quart-sized ziplock bag, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
In the gallon-sized ziplock bag, add the ice cubes and kosher salt.
Place the sealed quart-sized bag containing the ice cream mixture into the larger gallon-sized bag with ice and salt. Seal the gallon-sized bag securely.
Shake the bags vigorously for about 7–10 minutes, ensuring the ice and salt interact with the smaller bag to chill the mixture.
After 7–10 minutes, check the consistency of the mixture in the smaller bag—it should have thickened into a creamy ice cream consistency.
Carefully remove the smaller bag from the larger bag, wiping off any saltwater from the exterior.
Open the smaller bag and serve the ice cream immediately. Optionally, top with your favorite toppings!
