Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Stir gently until the sugar fully dissolves, ensuring your base is smooth and free from graininess.
  2. Add Vanilla and Salt: Pour in pure vanilla extract and add a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute these flavor enhancers evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or better yet, overnight. This chilling step strengthens the flavors and helps achieve a creamier texture during churning.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the cold mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning, usually around 20-30 minutes until it thickens and reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Freeze to Set: Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. This step allows Sweet Cream Ice Cream to develop its ideal scoopable texture.

Notes

  • Chill Everything: Keep your bowl, utensils, and ingredients cold to speed up the churning process and improve texture.
  • Don’t Rush Sugar Dissolving: Fully dissolving the sugar avoids a gritty mouthfeel in the finished ice cream.
  • Use Quality Vanilla: Opt for pure vanilla extract or real vanilla beans to truly enrich the flavor.
  • Customize Slowly: Add mix-ins near the end of churning to avoid disrupting texture.
  • Seal Properly: Store ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
