Creamy, rich, and delightfully simple, this homemade vanilla ice cream is a timeless treat. Made with just four ingredients, it’s perfect for serving on its own or pairing with your favorite desserts. Using a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker ensures effortless churning and a smooth, velvety texture every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk (chilled)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. This step ensures the mixture is cold enough to churn effectively.
  3. Churn in Ice Cream Maker: Pour the chilled mixture into your pre-frozen Cuisinart ice cream maker bowl while the machine is running. Churn for about 35 minutes or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Freeze for Firmer Texture (Optional): For a harder texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2–6 hours before serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately, or store in the freezer for later indulgence!

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve plain or top with fresh berries, chocolate syrup, or crushed cookies. Pair with warm desserts like brownies or apple pie for a decadent treat.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Pre-freeze your ice cream maker bowl for at least 12 hours to ensure proper churning.
  • Use high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for deeper flavor.
  • If frozen solid, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.

Storage Instructions:

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent freezer burn, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing.
