Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 0.5 cup Kosher salt (or rock salt)
- 1 piece Gallon-sized ziplock bag
- 1 piece Quart-sized ziplock bag
Directions
Step 1
In the quart-sized ziplock bag, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
Step 2
In the gallon-sized ziplock bag, add the ice cubes and kosher salt.
Step 3
Place the sealed quart-sized bag containing the ice cream mixture into the larger gallon-sized bag with ice and salt. Seal the gallon-sized bag securely.
Step 4
Shake the bags vigorously for about 7–10 minutes, ensuring the ice and salt interact with the smaller bag to chill the mixture.
Step 5
After 7–10 minutes, check the consistency of the mixture in the smaller bag—it should have thickened into a creamy ice cream consistency.
Step 6
Carefully remove the smaller bag from the larger bag, wiping off any saltwater from the exterior.
Step 7
Open the smaller bag and serve the ice cream immediately. Optionally, top with your favorite toppings!
