Ice Cream Base:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2/3 cup cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Cooking the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking often, for 5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warmed through.
- Chilling: Pour into a heatproof bowl, cover, and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
- Churning: Remove the chilled ice cream base from the fridge and whisk well. Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20 to 30 minutes.
- Freezing: The ice cream will be soft after churning. For firmer ice cream, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours before serving.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. If the ice cream is too firm to scoop straight from the freezer, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.
