Sure! Here’s a simple homemade ice cream recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Flavorings such as cocoa powder, fruit puree, chocolate chips, etc.
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and granulated sugar over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If you’re adding any flavorings like cocoa powder or fruit puree, mix them in now.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- After the mixture has chilled thoroughly, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Scoop and enjoy your homemade ice cream!
Feel free to get creative with different flavors and mix-ins to customize your ice cream to your liking!
