How to Make Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Gently pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Leave at least ¼ of the container empty to allow for expansion.
  3. For a fruity twist: gently fold in 2 cups of your favorite fresh or frozen fruit (berries, bananas, peaches work great!).
  4. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, pressing it firmly against the surface of the ice cream mixture to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  5. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
