Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and whole milk.
- Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour if possible.
- Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker's freezer bowl and churn according to your machine's instructions (about 20 to 25 minutes).
- If desired, add any mix-ins in the last 5 minutes of churning.
- For soft-serve, enjoy immediately; for firmer ice cream, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours.
- Let the frozen ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes
This homemade ice cream is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container with parchment paper pressed against the surface to prevent ice crystals.
Substitute ingredients like half-and-half for heavy cream or 2% milk for whole milk for lighter alternatives.
Feel free to experiment with mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips during the last few minutes of churning for added flavor and texture.
