Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • ice cream maker
  • airtight container

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to chill thoroughly.
  3. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically takes about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freezing and Serving
  1. Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  2. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to achieve the best scooping consistency.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, you can use vanilla bean paste instead of extract. This ice cream is best enjoyed within a week, although it can last longer in the freezer.
