What is the ingredients of vanilla ice cream?
Cream and whole milk: cream and whole milk help create the soft creamy texture that we all love.
Granulated sugar: Sugar makes it easier to freeze the mixture as a whole, except that it helps sweeten the ice cream. The lower the freezing point of sugar, the more sugar you add, the easier it becomes to freeze.
Salt: Salt is used in each pinch. Adding salt to sweet recipes makes it easy to bring out all the rich flavors of the dessert.
Egg yolks: Egg yolks are an important ingredient that keeps ice cream soft and creamy. You can make recipes without egg yolks, but if you want really professional quality ice cream, be sure to use egg yolks.
Vanilla Extract: A vanilla ice cream without real vanilla would be a hubby ever:)
