Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Chill the Freezer Bowl:
    Prior to starting the recipe, make sure the freezer bowl of your Cuisinart 2 QT Ice Cream Maker is thoroughly chilled according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 12-24 hours in the freezer.
  • Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
    Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Chill the Mixture:
    Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
    Refrigerate the ice cream base for at least 2-4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. This step enhances the creaminess of the ice cream.
  • Assembly and Churning:
    Once the ice cream base is chilled, assemble your Cuisinart 2 QT Ice Cream Maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    Turn on the ice cream maker and pour the chilled ice cream base into the freezer bowl.
  • Churn Until Creamy:
    Let the ice cream churn for about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency. The exact time may vary based on your ice cream maker model.
  • Optional Mix-ins:
    If desired, add in your favorite mix-ins such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fruit chunks during the last few minutes of churning.
  • Transfer and Freeze:
    Once the ice cream reaches the desired consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container.
    Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for an additional 2-3 hours to firm up.
  • Scoop and Serve:
    When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
    Scoop the creamy homemade ice cream into bowls or cones.
    Garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
