To make homemade ice cream, follow these key steps:
- Prepare the ice cream base by combining cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Warm gently until sugar dissolves but do not boil. Then chill the mixture for a few hours or overnight to enhance flavor and texture.
- Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes 20-30 minutes. The ice cream will be soft right after churning.
- For firmer ice cream, transfer it to the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.
Alternatively, if no ice cream maker is available, whip cream to stiff peaks and mix with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, then freeze. Or slowly freeze the mixture and stir every 30 minutes until frozen for a homemade method without a machine. These methods yield creamy, delicious homemade ice cream using simple ingredients like cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
