Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups heavy cream Ensure the cream is cold for optimal mixing.
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Add more for extra sweetness if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for best flavor.
Add-ins
  • 1 cup pralines, chopped Make sure pralines are sweet and crunchy.
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce Store-bought or homemade can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until all the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it's completely chilled.
Churning
  1. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the chopped pralines and caramel sauce until evenly distributed.
Freezing
  1. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  2. Scoop out your homemade Pralines and Cream Ice Cream and delight in every mouthful!

Notes

For a silkier texture, substitute some heavy cream with coconut cream. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
