Here’s a simple and easy recipe for homemade ice cream:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Chill Mixture:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled. Chilling the mixture helps it freeze faster in the ice cream maker.
- Churn Ice Cream:
- Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, or until the ice cream has thickened to a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze Ice Cream:
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve:
- Scoop the homemade ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy! You can also add your favorite toppings, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit syrup, for extra flavor.
