Simple Vanilla Ice Cream

A straightforward churned vanilla ice cream with a rich milk-and-cream base.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups whole milk
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 3 cups heavy cream
• 1½ tablespoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Whisk the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the cream and vanilla.
2. Cover and refrigerate the base for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Churn in the ice-cream maker until thickened and creamy.
4. Serve soft, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for about 2 hours for a firmer texture. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

• The booklet suggests adding chopped candy or sprinkles near the end of churning.
