The ice cream makers might be able to make it easier to make ice cream at home. However, you will need homemade vanilla ice cream recipes for ice cream makers to make it work properly.

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Ingredients

First things first, you need to prepare the ingredients for making vanilla ice cream.

• Milk. You will need the fattiest cow’s milk, such as whole milk if you want to make the creamiest ice cream.
• Heavy cream. The creamiest ice cream will need heavy cream. If you do not mind having a less rich ice cream, you can replace half and half. This option is great if you want to reduce calories.
• Granulated sugar.
• Vanilla extract. The best vanilla flavor comes from the real vanilla extract. You can also use vanilla bean paste instead of real vanilla extract.

Steps to Make Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

• Before preparing the ingredients, you need to make sure that the bowl of your ice cream maker has been frozen for at least 12 hours. You have to make sure that it is frozen solid so there will not be any liquid sloshing around when you shake the bowl. Remember, the ice cream will not be frozen enough in the ice cream maker if the bowl is not frozen solid.
• Mix the milk and sugar together in the large mixing bowl to dissolve the sugar for a couple minutes. There is no need to fully dissolve the sugar since the process will be continued in the ice cream machine. Next, vanilla extract and heavy cream can be added and stirred into the milk and sugar combination.
• The mixture can be transferred into the ice cream maker bowl and run the machine for 25-30 minutes until the ice cream has the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
• Transfer the ice cream into a container and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap. Put it in the freezer for six hours or overnight to the texture that can be scooped by hand.
