Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved, ensuring no granules remain at the bottom of the bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract to the cream mixture and stir gently to incorporate, making sure the vanilla is evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to chill completely. This helps the ice cream base develop a smoother texture and allows the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the chilled mixture from the refrigerator and give it a quick stir to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. Use a spatula to smooth the surface and prevent air pockets.
- Cover the container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream reaches your desired firmness.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the creamiest texture, ensure your heavy cream and whole milk are well chilled before mixing. This helps the ice cream churn better and results in a smoother consistency.
- Mix Thoroughly: When whisking the sugar into the cream and milk, take your time to ensure that all sugar granules are completely dissolved. This step is crucial for achieving that silky-smooth finish.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to get creative! Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fresh fruit during the last few minutes of churning for a personalized twist.
- Don’t Rush the Freezing: After churning, let your ice cream freeze for at least 2-3 hours to achieve the perfect scoopable texture. Patience is key!
- Serve with Ease: To make scooping easier, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This will soften it just enough for a perfect scoop.
