How to Make Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 2.25 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Stir milk, cream, and sugar together in a saucepan over low heat until sugar has dissolved; heat just until hot and a small ring of foam appears around the edge.
3. Transfer cream mixture to a pourable container such as a large measuring cup; stir in vanilla extract. Chill cream mixture thoroughly, 2 hours to overnight.
4. Pour cold cream mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Serve ice cream immediately when softly frozen or place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto ice cream and place in the freezer to firm and ripen, 2 to 3 hours.
6. Serve and enjoy!
