Ingredients
- 1 c whole milk very cold
- ¾ c granulated sugar
- 2 c heavy cream very cold
- 1 TB pure vanilla extract
Optional:
- 2 vanilla bean pods
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add milk and sugar. Whisk well until sugar is dissolved. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring to combine. If desired, split vanilla bean pods in half and scrape out the seeds into the milk mixture. Whisk to fully incorporate. Place bowl into freezer for about 15 minutes, to chill the mixture.
- Turn on ice cream maker. Use rubber spatula to transfer mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and churn according to your machine’s manufacturer instructions, generally 20-25 minutes. Mixture will be soft and creamy, with a consistency similar to soft serve.
- Use rubber spatula to fully transfer ice cream into a freezer-safe container (we use a metal loaf pan). Cover and freeze at least 2 hours, or until ice cream firms up. Serve with caramel sauce, hot fudge sauce, fresh berries, sprinkles, or simply as-is.

Notes
- This super easy ice cream recipe does not require tempering of egg yolks. Thus, the consistency will be less thick than ice cream with eggs. However, the use of whole milk and heavy cream provides a creamy texture, and the flavor is fantastic.
- If you’d like a thick and rich vanilla bean ice cream, see our creamy vanilla bean ice cream.
- We've been using this Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker for many years with great results.
