Classic Vanilla Ice Cream

1In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream (2 cups), whole milk (1 cup), sugar, and vanilla extract (1 tablespoon) until the sugar is fully dissolved.

2Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

3Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

4Serve scoops of delicious homemade vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
