How to Make Simple Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
  3. Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-30 minutes.
  4. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden completely before serving. Enjoy!
