Nine-Inch Honeymoon

 

I’ve shared so many ice cream recipes here, I can’t believe I never added this one. I make it ALL THE TIME. Just last weekend, I baked an apple pie for dessert after Sunday dinner. How can you serve apple pie without vanilla ice cream?

 

Simple Vanilla Ice Cream

 

1 cup whole milk (I use 2%, and it works just fine.)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

Just a pinch of salt

2 cups heavy cream

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (This is important! Don’t substitute!)

 

Whisk all ingredients together until sugar is completely dissolved. If the mixture isn’t fresh-from-the-fridge cold, chill it for an hour or two until it is. Place it in your ice cream maker and process according to directions 20 to 25 minutes, or until thickened. If you like your ice cream soft, you can serve it immediately. Or, you can harden it in the freezer in about an hour.
