  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved (about 2 minutes).
  2. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes).
  5. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat ingredients.
  •  Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips or fresh fruits just before the ice cream finishes churning.
  •  If you don’t have an ice cream maker, blend the mixture and freeze it in an airtight container, stirring every hour until set.
