<h3>Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe</h3>

<h4>Ingredients:</h4>

- 2 cups heavy cream

- 1 cup whole milk

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

- Pinch of salt

<h4>Directions:</h4>

<b>Prepare the Base:</b> Whisk together the sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl. Continue whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved.

<b>Chill the Mixture:</b> Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight for better flavor. The colder the mixture, the smoother your ice cream will be.

<b>Churn:</b> Add the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's guidelines. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

<b>Freeze:</b> Scoop the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface to avoid ice crystals, then freeze for at least 4 hours or until it reaches a firm consistency.

<b>Serve:</b> Scoop out the ice cream and serve it in bowls, cones, or with your favorite toppings. Enjoy the creamy, sweet delight!
