How to make homemade Ice Cream

Making homemade ice cream can be a fun and delicious activity for the whole family. Here's a simple recipe to make ice cream at home:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar has completely dissolved.

2. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. After about 20-30 minutes of churning, the ice cream should be thick and creamy. At this point, you can add any desired mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

4. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for several hours or overnight to allow it to fully harden.

Tips:

• For a creamier texture, use a higher fat content in the cream and milk.
• For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the milk with half-and-half or light cream.
• Don't overfill the ice cream maker, as the mixture will expand as it freezes and could overflow.
• Be sure to store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.

With this basic recipe, you can experiment with different flavors and mix-ins to create your own unique homemade ice cream creations. Enjoy!
