Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup white chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar completely dissolves.
- Remove the mixture from heat and add chopped white chocolate. Whisk thoroughly until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Stir in vanilla extract and salt, mixing until well incorporated and the mixture is silky.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until completely chilled. This helps develop a richer flavor and ensures proper freezing.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to 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, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Freeze for an additional 1-2 hours until firm and scoopable. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Serve in chilled bowls and optionally garnish with white chocolate shavings or fresh berries.
Tips
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the most intense and authentic flavor. Avoid using white chocolate chips, as they often contain stabilizers that can affect the texture.
- Ensure your mixture is completely cool before churning to achieve the smoothest possible ice cream texture.
- For an extra silky consistency, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling to remove any potential lumps.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe by placing the mixture in the freezer and stirring vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
- For added elegance, try garnishing with toasted coconut flakes, crushed macadamia nuts, or a drizzle of white chocolate sauce.
- Store your ice cream in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
