2 cups Heavy Cream
2 cups Whole Milk
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1. In a large bowl mix the cream and milk. Whisk in the sugar and vanilla until combined. 

2. Refrigerate or put in an ice water bath until the temperature reaches 40 degrees. Whisk to blend and freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers directions. I usually put mine in my mixer about 15 to 20 minutes and then freeze for 2 or 3 hours before serving.

5 Minute Ice Cream

My husband loves homemade ice cream. When we got married we made sure we got an ice cream maker. Turns out it takes a lot longer than you would think to make homemade ice cream and the ice cream maker we got isn't very good, so we can't make it. So I went in search of an easier way to make ice cream and I found it. 5 minutes people, literally 5 minutes. Its so simple, rich, and creamy. A great way to end your summer!
