Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Vanilla Ice Cream.
Step 1
Begin by pouring milk, heavy whipping cream, and sugar into a saucepan.
Step 2
Gently heat the mixture over low flame, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Keep a watchful eye to prevent boiling; you want it hot enough to see a delicate ring of foam forming at the edges.
Step 4
Once heated, transfer the mixture to a large measuring cup or any pourable container.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract, then cover and place it in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly, ideally overnight for the best flavor, but at least for two hours.
Step 6
After the mixture is nicely chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker.
Step 7
Activate the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's guidelines, typically for about 20 to 25 minutes, until it achieves a delightful soft-serve texture.
Step 8
If you prefer to enjoy it right away, serve it immediately for a creamy, soft experience.
Step 9
For a firmer treat, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, pressing a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals.
Step 10
Seal the container and freeze for an additional 2 to 3 hours, allowing it to reach the perfect scoopable consistency.
Step 11
Enjoy your homemade ice cream, a sweet reward for your patience and effort!.
