Tips for Perfect Vanilla Ice Cream

Chill the mixture well: Chilling the ice cream base before churning is key to getting that creamy texture.
Use high-quality vanilla: For the best flavor, use real vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste.
Don’t over-churn: If using an ice cream maker, be careful not to over-churn the mixture, or it may become too icy.
Storage: Keep your ice cream stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks for the best texture.
