Ice Cream Base
Method
Preparation
Mix the Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add Vanilla
Stir in the vanilla extract. If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the mixture, then add the pod as well.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Churn the Ice Cream
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Serve
Serve immediately in cups or cones, or transfer to a container and freeze for a firmer texture.
