Basic vanilla ice cream
Ingredients
- 180 ml/6 fl oz/¾ cup whole milk well chilled
- 140 g/5oz/⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 300 ml/10½ fl oz/1½ cups heavy double cream, well chilled
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved (about 1 to 2 minutes on a low speed)
- Stir in the cream and vanilla to taste
- Turn the machine on, pour the mixture into the freezer bowl, and mix until thickened (about 20-25 minutes). The ice cream will have a soft creamy texture
If desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer until firm. It takes about 2 hours to 'ripen'
