Homemade Creamy Ice Cream Recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) — this helps the ice cream churn better.
  3. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Cover the surface with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  6. Scoop and enjoy your homemade creamy ice cream!
