Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar I used honey
3 vanilla bean pod
Pinch salt

Instructions

Prepare the Ice Cream Base

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Chill the Mixture

For best results, cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 to 2 hours, or overnight. This helps the mixture cool down and helps to create a creamy texture

Churn the Ice Cream

Pour the ice cream mixture into the bowl of your Cuisinart machine.
Turn on the machine and churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.

Freezing Process

Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
For a firmer consistency, place the container in the freezer for about 2-3 hours before serving.

Serve and Enjoy

With an ice cream scoop, place the ice cream into a small bowl with your favorite toppings or an ice cream cone!

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add extra egg yolks to the base to make custard-style ice cream, though it will require a bit more cooking and cooling.
You can also experiment by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fruit during the last few minutes of churning if you want to customize your ice cream.
