Gather Ingredients You’ll need 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, ¾ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can also add flavors like chocolate, fruit, or nuts.
Mix the Ingredients In a bowl, whisk the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves completely.
Chill the Mixture Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavor and make it easier to freeze.
Use an Ice Cream Maker Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for about 20–25 minutes until it thickens.
No Ice Cream Maker? No Problem! If you don’t have a machine, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze it, and stir every 30 minutes for about 3 hours.
Add Mix-ins During the last few minutes of churning or stirring, add ingredients like chocolate chips or fruit pieces.
Transfer to a Container Move the ice cream to an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
Experiment with Flavors Try different flavors like strawberry, coffee, or caramel to create your perfect treat.
