Ingredients
- ½-¾ cup granulated sugar adjust to your preferred sweetness
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Begin by freezing the ice cream maker bowl, following the instructions provided in its manual.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Once ready, transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until it takes on the texture of soft serve.
- Pour the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container such as a loaf pan or a baking dish. Place it in the freezer and allow it to firm up.
- Before serving, let the ice cream rest at room temperature for around 10 minutes to achieve a creamier consistency.
Notes
- Makes approximately 1 liter of ice cream.
- No ice cream maker? No problem! Pour the base into a freezer-safe bowl, freeze, and beat every 30-60 minutes with an electric mixer to break up ice crystals for a creamy texture.
- Freeze the bowl for quicker and better freezing.
- Use full-fat ingredients for a richer, creamier ice cream.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for a creamier texture.
- Adjust the sugar to your desired sweetness level.
- Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
