Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream

  • 1 Pinch Salt *Optional

Equipment

  • 1 Blender or mixing bowl Use this to combine your ingredients
  • 1 Rubber Spatula To scoop every ounce of liquid into your ice cream machine
  • 1 Ice Cream Machine I used a Cuisinart 2-Quart Ice Cream maker and it's perfect

  1. Blend all ingredients together in your blender or in a mixing bowl, until all the sugar is dissolved.
