Method
Prepare the Ice Cream Base
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.
- If using a vanilla bean, scrape the seeds into the mixture and add the pod as well.
Chill the Mixture
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Churn the Ice Cream
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze the Ice Cream
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Notes
For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla bean paste or adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts during the last few minutes of churning.
