I was going to wait until summer to make the ice cream, but I got a new ice cream maker and my hubby loves ice cream, so it's not just a summer treat around here. I used the recipe for simple vanilla ice cream that came with my maker.
Simple Vanilla Ice Cream
Makes Five Cups
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
pinch salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
1. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed or whisk to combine milk, sugar and salt until sugar is dissolved. Stir in heavy cream. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours or overnight. Also be sure your freezer bowl has been in the freezer for 24 hours before using it. But of course you will need to follow the directions for your specific ice cream maker.
2. Turn on your ice cream maker before pouring in your mixture. Let churn for 15-20 minutes or until thickened. Add the 1 Tbsp. of vanilla in the last 5 minutes of churning.
The ice cream will have a soft consistency. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream into an air tight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer for about 10 minutes before serving.
I press plastic wrap directly over the ice cream before adding the cover to prevent freezer burn or ice crystals.
Yummy vanilla ice cream with very simple ingredients. It was a big hit with my family! I on the other hand love chocolate ice cream...I will post that one tomorrow:)
