Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

Directions:

Prepare the Base: Whisk together the sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl. Continue whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight for better flavor. The colder the mixture, the smoother your ice cream will be.
Churn: Add the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's guidelines. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze: Scoop the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface to avoid ice crystals, then freeze for at least 4 hours or until it reaches a firm consistency.
Serve: Scoop out the ice cream and serve it in bowls, cones, or with your favorite toppings. Enjoy the creamy, sweet delight!

Conclusion

There's nothing quite like the smooth, rich flavor of homemade vanilla ice cream. Lykkers, this Ice cream is perfect for any occasion; this classic treat is a must-have in your dessert repertoire!
