Silky Vanilla Bean Ice Cream: Luxurious Homemade Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Combine Dairy Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Whisk these together until you achieve a smooth, creamy base.

2. Sweeten the Mixture
- Gradually add 3/4 cup of sugar into the dairy blend. Mix until the sugar completely dissolves.

3. Enhance with Flavor
- Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt to balance the sweetness. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract for an aromatic presence. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

4. Chill the Mixture
- Once blended, cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight. This step ensures optimal texture and flavor absorption.

5. Freeze the Mixture
- Transfer the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually around 20-25 minutes.

6. Set the Ice Cream
- Once churned, transfer the soft ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Cover the top with a piece of parchment paper to prevent ice crystals, then seal it with an airtight lid. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.

7. Serve and Enjoy
- Once firm, scoop the silky vanilla ice cream into bowls. Serve immediately and savor the rich, creamy texture with a hint of tang from the buttermilk.
