Making ice cream at home is easier than you might think! Here's a simple recipe to help you make delicious homemade ice cream.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved. Make sure the mixture is well combined.
2. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the ice cream. This usually involves turning on the ice cream maker and letting it mix for a specific amount of time (around 20-30 minutes), or until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency.
3. Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container. You can enjoy the ice cream immediately if you prefer a soft-serve texture, or you can freeze it for a few hours to achieve a firmer consistency.
4. If you decide to freeze the ice cream, make sure to cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
5. Serve the homemade ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy! You can also add your favorite toppings, such as chocolate sauce, nuts, or sprinkles, to enhance the flavor.
Remember, homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within a few days of making it. Enjoy your delicious homemade treat!
