Classic Vanilla Ice Cream

🍨 Tips for Perfect Vanilla Ice Cream

• For the richest flavor, use real vanilla bean if possible — the seeds add flecks of vanilla and intense aroma.
• Chill the base well before churning — it helps achieve smoother texture.
• Don’t overfill your ice cream maker; give the mixture room to expand.
• For no-ice-cream-maker method, freeze the mixture and stir every 30 minutes until creamy (takes longer but works!).
