Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Optional mix-ins: fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc.
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
4. When you're ready to eat your ice cream, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and enjoy!
Tips for Making Homemade Ice Cream:
- To make a smooth ice cream, stir the mixture every few hours while it's freezing.
- If you want to add mix-ins, stir them in after the ice cream has been frozen for at least 4 hours.
- For a richer ice cream, use half and half instead of milk.
- For a lighter ice cream, use skim milk instead of milk.
- You can also make ice cream with different flavors by adding fruit, chocolate, or other flavorings.
- You can also make a vegan version of this ice cream by substituting the heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk.
