Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Whisk them together until well mixed.
Add Sugar:
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the milk and cream mixture. Continue to whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. This sweetens the base of your ice cream.
Flavor with Vanilla:
Stir in the pure vanilla extract. This adds a delightful vanilla flavor to your ice cream. You can also experiment with other flavorings or extracts if you desire.
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2-3 hours or, ideally, overnight. Chilling the mixture helps improve the texture of your ice cream.
