Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: Vanilla bean, split and scraped (for extra richness and flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
    • If using a vanilla bean, add the split and scraped seeds to the mixture, along with the vanilla pod for extra flavor.
    • Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Avoid boiling.
  2. Infuse the Flavor:
    • Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat.
    • Stir in the pure vanilla extract, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
    • If you’ve used a vanilla bean, allow the mixture to cool slightly to let the flavors infuse further.
  3. Chill the Mixture:
    • Transfer the mixture to a clean bowl or container.
    • Cover the bowl/container with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
    • Place the bowl/container in the refrigerator and chill the mixture thoroughly for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream:
    • Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, remove it from the refrigerator.
    • Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
    • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
  5. Freeze and Serve:
    • Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container.
    • Cover the container tightly and freeze the ice cream for an additional 2-4 hours, or until firm.
    • When ready to serve, allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
    • Garnish with fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or your favorite toppings, and enjoy the creamy goodness of homemade vanilla ice cream!
