Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
This recipe will guide you through creating a classic homemade vanilla ice cream that is rich, creamy, and oh-so-satisfying.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, crushed cookies, etc.)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- If you’re adding any mix-ins, fold them in during the last 5 minutes of churning.
- Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up to a scoopable consistency.
- When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
