Equipment

  • Set of 2 Reusable Ice Cream Tub Containers For Homemade Ice Cream 1.6 Quart
  • Cusinart ICE-70P1 2-Quart Cool Creations Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt, Gelato and Sorbet Maker, LCD Screen with Countdown Timer, Makes Frozen Treats in 20-Minutes or Less, Stainless Steel
  • KitchenAid KO117OHAQA Gourmet Ice Cream Scoop, One Size, Matte Aqua Sky

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Chill the ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine whole milk and granulated sugar. Whisk for 2-3 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved into the milk. You should not feel any grit if you rub the mixture together between two fingers.
  • Then, add the heavy cream and sea salt and mix until combined.
  • Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to your manufacturer’s instructions (mine took about 25 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
  • Spoon the ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan.
  • Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
  • Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Your ice cream base and ice cream bowl both need to be very cold in order for it to churn properly. If your base is not cold, place it in the freezer for an hour or so until it is.
  • It's very important that the sugar dissolves fully into the milk. This will ensure that your ice cream has a smooth consistency.
