Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the milk, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • Pour the chilled mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze for 45 minutes.
  • When edges begin to freeze, stir vigorously with a spatula or whisk to break up ice crystals. Return to freezer.
  • Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours until ice cream is creamy and thick.
  • Give a final stir, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for 2 more hours until firm and scoopable.
  • Serve as is or add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, fruit swirls, or cookie dough during the last mixing stages.
