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
- Mix 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.
- Chill: Pour into a heatproof bowl, cover, and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
- Whisk and Churn: 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.
- Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours before serving.
- Store: Store in the freezer for up to a month. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften if too firm.
