Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

1 cup whole milk--well chilled
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream--well chilled
1 to 2 tsp vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes on low speed. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Turn machine on (I use my Cuisinart), pour mixture into freezer bowl through ingredient spout and let mix until thickened--about 25 to 30 minutes.

You may also add fruit or cut up pieces of candy bars for a fun change!!
