This recipe offers a quick and easy method to make creamy homemade ice cream using an ice cream maker, with simple ingredients and customizable mix-ins for a delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream (organic preferred)
  • 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (can reduce for less sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (Madagascar vanilla recommended)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, crushed cookies, fresh berries, chopped nuts, caramel sauce, fresh peaches or mango chunks

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base (10 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves completely. Optionally, use a hand mixer on low speed for 1-2 minutes to incorporate air.
  2. Chill the Mixture (at least 2 hours or overnight): Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to let flavors meld and base thicken.
  3. Prepare Your Ice Cream Maker: Ensure the freezer bowl has been in the freezer for at least 12 hours.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream (20-25 minutes): Pour the chilled base into the ice cream maker and churn until soft-serve consistency is reached.
  5. Add Mix-Ins & Freeze (optional, 2-4 hours): Fold in desired mix-ins near the end of churning or after, then transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze to firm up before serving.

Notes

Chill the ice cream base overnight for best texture. Freeze the ice cream maker bowl at least 12 hours before use. Add mix-ins in the last 5 minutes of churning or fold in after churning. Let ice cream soften at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Store in airtight container with parchment paper on surface to prevent ice crystals. Consume within one week for best freshness.
