How to Make Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 2.25 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 0.75 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Stir milk, cream, and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Heat just until the mixture is hot and a small ring of foam appears around the edge.

3. 3

   Transfer cream mixture to a pourable container such as a large measuring cup. Stir in vanilla extract and chill mix thoroughly, at least 2 hours. (Overnight is best.)

4. 4

   Pour cold ice cream mix into an ice cream maker, turn on the machine, and churn according to manufacturer's directions, 20 to 25 minutes.

5. 5

   When ice cream is softly frozen, serve immediately or place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the ice cream and place in the freezer to ripen, 2 to 3 hours.

6. 6

   Serve and enjoy!
