(1,600 calories from heavy cream)
Add Vanilla and Salt: Stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing until everything is well combined.
(12 calories from vanilla extract, negligible from salt)
2. Chill the Ice Cream Base
Refrigerate the Base: Place the ice cream base into the refrigerator and let it chill for 1-2 hours. Chilling it helps the mixture set and results in a smoother texture when frozen.
(No calories added during this step.)
3. Freeze the Ice Cream (Without Ice Cream Maker)
Prepare the Freezing Container: While the mixture chills, prepare a shallow container (such as a loaf pan) for freezing the ice cream. This allows for even freezing and easier scooping later.
(No calories added in this step.)
Pour the Mixture into the Container: After chilling, pour the ice cream base into the prepared container.
(No additional calories.)
Freeze and Stir: Place the container in the freezer. After 30-45 minutes, remove the mixture and stir it vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours or until the ice cream is firm and creamy.
(No calories added in this step.)
4. Serve the Ice Cream
Scoop and Serve: Once the ice cream has reached a creamy, scoopable consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for later.
(No additional calories unless toppings like chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or fruit are added.)
