• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• Pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Depending on machine: Ice and rock salt

• Optional toppings: strawberries, brownies, crushed oreos, hot fudge, caramel sauce

Instructions

1. Prep your ice cream machine according to package directions. Some machines require you to freeze the bowl first and others you will need to have ice and rock salt.
2. Combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla in a bowl or the base of your ice cream container you plan to use.
3. When you’re ready to make the ice cream, pour mixture into your ice cream maker bowl. Follow instructions for your specific machine. Turn on machine and let it churn until it looks like frozen yogurt (about 25 minutes). Store in an air tight container in the freezer to become firm.
4. Scoop into a bowl when ready to serve. Add desired toppings and enjoy.
