Ingredients
0.98 cups heavy whipping cream
0.98 cups half-and-half cream
0.49 cup sugar
0.98 teaspoons vanilla extract
Equipment
ice cream maker
large bowl
freezer containers
Tips
Use heavy whipping cream, not whipping cream.
Do not substitute half-and-half for milk.
Do not substitute brown sugar.
Use high-quality vanilla extract or paste.
For a softer serve, skip final freezing step.
Add mix-ins during last minute of churning.
Layer in jams or curds for extra flavor.
Drizzle melted chocolate or salted caramel for unique textures.
Substitute berries for half-and-half to make fruit ice cream.
Store in an airtight container with wax paper to prevent ice crystals.
Keep towards the front of the freezer for easier scooping.
To make ice cream without an ice cream maker, stir every 30 minutes for 3 hours during freezing
