Vanilla Ice Cream

Step 1

If you haven't already, chill the freezer bowl in your freezer in an upright position for at least 24 hours.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the milk, sugar, and salt using a whisk or hand mixer set to low speed. Mix until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or up to 3 days.

Step 3

Place the frozen freezer bowl on the base of the ice cream maker. Place the paddle (round end up) into the bowl. Then put the cover over the freezer bowl, rotating it clockwise until it locks into place. Turn the ice cream maker ON.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened - about 15-20 minutes.

Step 5

The ice cream will have a soft and creamy texture. If you want a firmer texture, scoop the ice cream into your airtight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 6

To store the ice cream in the freezer, place a piece of parchment paper on top of the ice cream, pressing it against the ice cream, then put on the airtight lid.
