Here’s a simple recipe for a basic vanilla ice cream:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This will ensure that the mixture is cold enough for churning.
3. Churn the Ice Cream:
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
4. Freeze:
- Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
- Place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
5. Serve:
- Scoop and enjoy your homemade vanilla ice cream!
Tips:
- No Ice Cream Maker?: You can still make ice cream by pouring the mixture into a shallow dish, freezing it, and stirring every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours until it’s smooth.
- Add-ins: You can customize your ice cream by adding chocolate chips, fruit, or other mix-ins during the last few minutes of churning.
Enjoy a nice homemade ice cream!
