Simple Vanilla Ice Cream

SERVES 5-6 cups

This ice cream can easily be dressed up by adding your favorite toppings, chopped candies or sprinkles at the end of churning.

1. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed or whisk to combine the milk, sugar and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight. 
2. Turn on the ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. 
3. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
