Easy No-Cook Vanilla Ice Cream
Creamy, luscious, not too sweet, and super simple to make! This Easy No-Cook Vanilla Ice Cream is truly the best summertime treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup half & half
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup sugar
- a pinch of salt

- Stir gently until sugar is dissolved.

Notes
Substitutions:
- If you don't have half and half, you can make your own! Combine 1/2 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup fat free milk to have a homemade half and half.
- You can use vanilla bean paste in this recipe, but you may need to scale back the amount slightly.
- Do not beat the ice cream base! Stir slowly and try to avoid having as many bubbles as possible.
- This recipe is vegetarian and gluten free.
- If you add any mix-ins, I cannot guarantee freeze times.
- Make sure the milks are cold before starting.
- If you’re a soft serve fan like me, skip the freezing part and enjoy straight out of the ice cream machine!
