Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream

  6. Chill the Mixture: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Churn and Freeze: Transfer to an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Freeze for Firmness: Transfer to a container and freeze for 2-4 hours before serving.
