Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fruit mix-ins
Instructions
- Start by combining the granulated sugar, whole milk, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk these ingredients together vigorously until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved.
