Put the freezing bowl in the freezer at least 12hrs prior to making the recipe. I leave mine in the freezer at all times, when not in use. Pro tip: keep your freezer bowl in a bag or wrapped in foil to prevent freezer burn.
In a large mixing bowl, stir in the milk and the sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the cream to the mixture and mix.
Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours or more.
Take the freezing bowl out of the freezer and place it in the ice cream machine.
Turn on the machine.
Immediately take your mixture out of the fridge and give it a quick mix before pouring it slowly into the ice cream machine.
After 20 or 30 minutes, the ice cream should be ready. The volume of the cream mixture should have almost doubled.
Take the ice cream out of the bowl and place it in an airtight container before freezing it. Note: make sure you use a silicone or wooden spoon to take the mixture out, to avoid scratching the surface of the bowl.
Alternatively, serve it straight away, if you prefer a soft-serve ice cream.
Serve with any toppings you prefer or keep it simple. I love adding fruits or toasted nuts, or even better, some of my chewy white chocolate and lemon cookies.
