Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream (can use half & half)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
Instructions
- Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean paste, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerator for an hour to pre-chill. This ensures a better freeze in the machine. Follow your ice cream freezer’s instruction manual. Personally, I use a KitchenAid attachment. With a standard countertop freezer, ice cream takes about 20-30 minutes.2 cups heavy cream (can use half & half), 1 cup milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- Once frozen, place the ice cream in a loaf pan or sealed container and place it in the freezer for 3-4 hours for a good hard freeze. Countertop models produce a soft-serve consistency and it is best to let the ice cream freeze to a harder consistency.
