Combine Ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.

Churn the Ice Cream (if using a machine):

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.

No-Churn Method:

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, whip the heavy cream separately until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the milk, sugar, and vanilla mixture. Pour into a freezer-safe container.

Freeze:

Transfer the churned or no-churn mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Serve:

Scoop and serve as-is or with your favorite toppings like hot fudge, caramel, or fresh fruit.
